The Electricity Gallery is very interesting, for me is a recommended visit. Know this place on Plaza Science! A social network to explore and discover, to study and work in the world of science. Read more

Great for kids. They often have stuff on kids can get involved with. The shop is well stocked and it has a small but quite good picnic area inside where the planes are. Great day for kide

Mark B

Experiment Zone is great for kids and adults alike and worth visiting in its own right. Other areas are fascinating snapshot of machines through the ages.

Brian F Kirkham

Don't forget there is more to MOSI than just the engines - Check out the Railway Station - and the Planet....before seeing the wonders of Gas and Electric in their respective galleries ....

Ionut Chepeneag

Free admission , check out the shop for nice souvenirs. Get a coffee and walk around. Visit all the museum .

Manuel Portela

Great museum with working machines! Don't lose the live experience of 18th century machines!

Paul Johnson

Don't miss the cakes in the cafe on the ground floor near the entrance. Make sure you try out the interactive display in the entrance area, its very clever! Saturday and Sunday train rides for £1

Eemeli Palotie

They are actually running these machines! You should wait around for the demonstration. It definitely takes museum experience to a totally new level.

We’re throwing in an extra suggestion this week, we want you all to show your support for one of our region’s great attractions the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI). http://bit.ly/19P3TN4

Visit Manchester

See 'Steam, Sweat & Sewers' at the Museum Of Science & Industry. Experience the sights, sounds & even the smells of Victorian Manchester in a range of exciting interactive events for all the family

Andrew Barnett

Great museum.For free.By that I mean that a lot of the exhibits are tired, and the kids experiment floor is a bit dated, with some stuff broken or missing. The £3 donation may go towards improvements?

Mr P'Mee

It's a marvellous museum to understand the industrial revolution. I highly recommend that everyone should visit the museum .

Max Hemingway

One of the hidden gems in Manchester. Great for all ages - young and old. Very welcoming staff . Free entry . Worth leaving a donation.

Brian F Kirkham

Worth the trip just to see the power hall ...take in the aircraft next door from there and take in the space gallery above!

Michael Holdsworth

Just an absolutely amazing place. Come and spend a few hours here, you won't be disappointed.

Joycelyn Ong

Take some time of busy schedule to indulge yourself into the history of Manchester. It's a free admission and great for family with kids to interact.

Creating the Illusion: Animation in the North West exhibition at MOSI (Museum of Science and Industry), which explores the development and legacy of the internationally renowned Cosgrove Hall Films

Steve Johnson

Great family day out....4D cinema well worth a visit! Check out the digital sculpture as well .

Damian Hehir

Give yourself plenty of time. Lots to see in this wonderful place. Plenty of school groups (read noise), so maybe avoid obvious times.

Stephen Dyson

One of the best places in Manchester. Ideal for all ages with lots to see and do

Jaryd Carolin

After checking out the exhibits head to the cafe and lounge on one of the very comfortable brown sofas :)

American Soda

It's free and it is a great place to take the kids during school holidays. Always changing exhibits so you can visit again and again. Check it out.

Free entrance with a lot of activities ???? inside!

Ben Lee

Lots to see with plenty "out back" that could be easy to miss due to the split levels.

Bobby

Interesting place to send a couple or hours including seeing the first railway station built in the world

I really liked the museum ! So interesting and well done.

Guy

Couldn't book tickets online (no availability) but if you head down anyway they can book them for you from the front desk.

Gari Wellingham

Recently been "modernised" - I preferred the old style tbh! Couldn't find the traffic light from the IRA bomb any more, or the bicycle collection from the air hall, and Power Hall was turned off :(

Martin Heineberg

Interactive area on the third floor is great for kids and adults aswell. Great fun while learning and thinking

Roaa Al-Sulaiman

Free entrance, cotton demonstration was beneficial.

Andrés Phileas

Free entrance. Very interesting, in special the power industry evolution.

I think this place is great, even more so now that its free, love looking at the trains and how steam engines work. The aeroplane building is also another not to be missed!

Hear what planet Earth sounds like in our Beneath and Beyond installation which monitors tectonic shifts around the world.

If you have kids don't forget about the interactive discovery section on level 1. It's great.

Amazing museum for see and learn.

Visit Manchester

Put on your jogging pants and have a go of the interactive exhibition about sports science.

Watch the engine / mill machinery demonstrations. The explainers really bring the story to life.

Great day, but would benefit from a suggested route so you don't miss anything.

Robin

Free admission , donation of 3£ is recommended.

Mary Lyashova

The most interesting Manchester museum !
