There's a picnic area at the back of the dinosaur exhibit . Just head down the blue corridor near the main stairs.

Large museum spread across many floors. We saw China’s First Emperor and Terracotta Army exhibition . Well worth a visit on a rainy day.

Great exhibition on AI. Interactive and fascinating ????

Try and visit in the middle of school terms. Schools usually plan visits in the last week of term so it's busier at these times

Get here before 1:00pm to reserve your free tickets to the Planetarium shows.

A nice museum with lots of stuff. Just a little too much targeted at children for my liking though.

Give the restaurant on the 5th floor a miss, the food is horrible. Avoid at all costs. The Museum is amazing though.

Best for shopping and restaurants. You won't be disappointed. Although not as varied and big as Trafford, you won't queue for 2 hours to get in and out with more opportunity to actually SHOP ???? - Jon Stodd
