Manchester (England) : A List Of Attractions That Children Will Love
With so many things to see and do in this wonderful city, sorting out the wheat from the chaff is not an easy undertaking. To make this doubly hard, there is not that much 'chaff' in the first place, so deciding on where to take your children on a fun day out in Manchester can end up being a bit of a chore in itself! To make this decision a little easier for you we have compiled a list of a few of the most popular attractions and amenities in the city of Manchester.
One place that is sure to grab the attention of every child is the Legoland Discovery Center situated in The Trafford Center. The Legoland Discovery Center offers loads of activities for children to enjoy, including miniature models of local and national landmarks, a 4-D Lego cinema, a themed interactive rollercoaster ride, a Lego factory, an adventure playground and a build and test center for Lego constructions.
MOSI or the Museum of Science and Industry is one of Manchester's most famous attractions. Situated in the Castleford area, the MOSI has some very interesting exhibitions that will grab the attention of kids of all ages. With a busy schedule of seasonal special exhibitions not only will your children have fun, but they will learn quite a lot too!
Sometimes, rather than deciding on taking your kids to places where they can learn or develop certain skills, you just want to get them to a place where they can wear themselves out by climbing, running and playing with their brothers, sisters or other children. All across Manchester there are many of these indoor play centers that cater for exactly this occasion. Some of the most popular are the Head Over Heels Play Center in Chorlton, the Wacky Warehouse in East Didsbury, and the Land of Play Indoor Play Center in Trafford Park.
Most kids love a day out karting and Greater Manchester has some of the finest indoor circuits in England. Two of the most popular tracks in the area are Daytona Manchester, situated in Trafford Park which caters for children as young as 5 years old; and also Karting2000 which is situated in Gorton, northwest Manchester. Karting2000 primarily caters for older age groups but there are karts for children as young as 9 years old available.
If you are looking for something different, why not take your family on an indoor alpine ski adventure at the 180 meter long Chill Factore indoor real snow slope center located in the Trafford Quays Leisure Village. With the UK's longest real snow indoor ski slope, a beginners slope, a two-lane tubing slope and a magical snow play area, there is so much to do, it will be snow-joke!
