Top 30 Best Fun day out in Manchester

“This nursery has my heart. The staff are so professional And extremely good in what they do. Our kids have been going for just 3months now and the improvement in them has been just WOW. My 2year ood went from just saying a few words to communicating in sentences in just 3 months!!!! I am super grateful to everybody at Merrykidz”

“Booked to celebrate a 13th birthday and it was fabulous! The teens loved the Upside Down themed room and threw themselves into solving the clues. Lloyd was a great host and gave us lots of prompts and encouragement along the way! As we were leaving the teens were already asking when we could go back! Would highly recommend - great way to spend an hour! Thanks Lloyd - we'll be back!”

“Really helpful staff, good selection of fish and a really good selection of coral for a small shop. Really knowledgeable staff as well”

“We tried the "Space Evader" room as a family. It was different from other rooms we have tried as you just have to solve as many puzzles as you can in the 1 hour. Plenty of variety in the puzzles and a decent set layout. Staff were friendly and helpful. Price was quite reasonable compared to other places.”

“Been loads of times and been to various soft play centres around Preston and Blackburn. Definitely the best value for money and the kids love it everytime , that's the biggest endorsement, did I say value for money? Staff are friendly and the food is spot on as well. You won't be disappointed”

“Absolutely amazing cocktail bar. Staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble, I even asked for a cocktail not on the list and they made it. I cannot recommend this bar enough. Plus really good music, and a fantastic live singer on the Sunday night. If you're in the area go to this bar.”

“Very nice local place but the local community need to value this beautiful place it’s an asset for Stockport Council please look-after and be respectful to the visitors”

“I really enjoyed it here and my children more so!!!! The staff were very helpful and friendly also lovely and clean.”

“Love this bowling alley, always got good offers for drink and bowl deals (think we paid £13 for two games and two drinks). Plus the arcade is decent and not too expensive either. Good central location too as it's right next to the tram stop, Shudehill bus terminus and Manchester Victoria station.”

“Fantastic place for kids and Toddlers, great food as well and plenty of fun for the little ones as well.”

“I do not leave reviews very often but I have to for this one. We came for a Christmas Eve meal in a beautiful setting. From the food all the way down to the service, they go above and beyond to make you have the best experience. Food is bursting with flavour and filling. Had some of the best service I’ve ever experienced here, staff are kind, friendly and fantastic with the children. I cannot fault anything with this restaurant at all. Thanks for a lovely evening. We will definitely be back soon!”

“Had my daughters 6th birthday here today…was so well organised and can’t recommend enough. The party hosts Elliot and Tonisha were really helpful and clearly enjoyed their job. The whole trip was a great experience and all our guests really enjoyed themselves…thanks”

“Visited on Sunday 18th April 2021 - Pay and Paddle / Self Launch With the current C-19 restrictions, we've not been able to get to the lake district for a while, and were looking for somewhere close to home for a relaxed family paddle. We have our own boats and equipment, so were looking for somewhere we could self launch and enjoy some family time. After speaking to one of their really helpful staff, Shannon, by email - we booked a two slots online for the early morning. Arriving about 15 minutes before our time to check in, we were issued with tags for our boats and given details on where we could paddle (there was a water polo game in progress in a small area, and in the afternoon the deeper end of the lake hosts powered craft and some open water swimmers. We were lucky with the weather, warm, sunny with only a slight wind - as otherers have mentioned, some areas of the lake are fairly shallow, however this didn't cause us to ground out either kayak, or struggle paddling. The water was exceptionally clear and there was plenty of wildlife - keeping a respectful distance - the kids enjoyed seeing the gees and swan nests. It was a great fun day out, exceptional value for money and one we plan to recreate as soon as we're able! Thank you to everyone on site!”

“Who said you can't have fun and stay safe? Namco Bowling made it happen! We had a great time with family. We booked 2 lanes side by side and played against one another. The place felt safe, clean and in line with the gov. guidelines.”

“Fantastic place, super friendly staff, cafe reasonable priced and so much for the kids to do they all loved it.... this is the 2nd visit now and we will defo be back again...”

“My first time at Yo Sushi! After ordering on the app, drinks/food is sent on the smart conveyor belt, stopping at your table. Neat! I got about 90% vegan dishes, and they were all delicious (see the pic I’ve uploaded). This is specific, but I absolutely love the nori. There were several things on the 99p Menu offering fantastic value.”

“Great early dinner menu with lots of choice for meat eaters and vegetarians. Staff are so friendly and attentive. Food was gorgeous with great portion sizes.”

“Theres always plenty to do for the kids and the bowling is good fun too! can I just mention Charlie has gone the extra mile for us on a few occasions and is a real pleasure to your company! very happy with the service we have received from her on multiple visits. Highly recommend this place for a good family day out!”

“Great place kids loved it loads for them todo there is a cafe where your able to watch when not participating will definitely be going again”

“5 stars is not enough, I wish I could give more. The teachers are so kind. I sent all 3 of my kids to this playgroup and it has been a big help, the kids learnt so much and they couldn't wait to go back the next day. They've all helped so much with my son, who is delayed in speech and development. The teachers have been a great support not only to the kids but myself aswel. Cannot recommend this playgroup enough. Best decision ever!!”

“Rock out is fantastic! Been here for a good few years now and my kids hardly ever stick with anything. My 2 boys go here oldest is 13 and has learnt to play electric guitar with rock out and my youngest is 8 and is now learning to play the drums. Mike runs the show and is brill, always runs smoothly and arranges a performance each year which the kids look forward to. The sessions are fab and all the teachers are enthusiastic and great with kids. Glad we found this place and highly recommend it”

“Extraordinary Bar to bring in for a 16 ounces and a Game of pool or Table Football. Fantastic bar staff who rushed to serve. Likewise a decent spot to watch sport with the big screen. Splendid worth during that time 12.00pm-7.00pm £2.50 a 16 ounces on chose lagers I had carling which was right on the money. In general I would suggest a visit.”

“Both my children have now been through the baby sensory classes and both Becky and Abby have been amazing. Highly recommend this baby class to every new mum.”

“My daughter was 5 months old when she started to attended Kids Country Day Nursery. She has now been there for 17 months and her physical, intellectual, emotional and social skills have flourished. The staff have built an amazing bond with her and know all of her requirements and needs. She has built great friendships with the other children who attend the nursery and she is always smiling going into nursery in the morning as well as coming out of nursery in the evening. Upon joining the nursery, I was given access to an app where the staff give live updates on your child, they let you know what she has eaten, how many nappies she has gone through in the day and also her general mood and behaviour which really puts my mind at ease. Leaving my child at such a young age was difficult for me but Kids' Country assured me she was in safe hands and they were right. I couldn't have chosen a safer or more positive environment for my baby. I would 100% recommend Kids' Country!”

“Very friendly people, excellent place to take your dog if you are planning to go away for a few days on your own, 5 star service.”

“A Very Good Nursery Professionally run. All the Staff cannot do enough for the Children. A variety of activities for them to do so they are learning lots. My little boy has come on so well since starting nursery and he loves going. I am happy that he is happy there and would definitely recommend Thank you x”

“Can't fault them. Came here with my kids for a relative's son's birthday. They had a great time. It's also very spacious and very clean. Staff were extremely nice. My son was ill in the car before we arrived. They couldn't have been more helpful in getting him, me and the car cleaned up. Thank you.”

“If you want a good deal on fruits and vegetables this the place to go”

“This a a very well kept public car park. The lifts are clean and the attendant can often be see walking around on duty. Last month I miss placed my phone and when i rang it a kind gentleman answered only to tell me I had left it on the pay machine. He had it in his office waiting for me. When I arrived back the gentleman Patrick was very polite and opened the barrier so I don't have to pay for the car park again. He is a Real treasure, lovely meeting you Patrick. Keep up the good work.”
