What travelers say:
The museum is free to enter and I used to love coming here as a child. I came back with my own children today. What we saw today was quite a disappointment.I booked easily online and with a minor wait at the doors we got in very smoothly. As we had also wanted to visit the Operation Ouch later. And thinking we would need time to explore the whole museum we booked it for mid afternoon.

Science and Industry Museum Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
This science and industry museum is located in Castlefield, a Roman castle ruins built 2000 years ago. Although the castle is only left in ruins today, the dilapidated elevated railway, rusted iron bridges and giant warehouses are still preserved. And it was cleverly used to build this museum that integrates the development of modern science and the industrial revolution. The museum exhibits intact steam engines and spinning machines, as well as an old railway station built around 1830, which is quite fascinating. Here one can not only see the old waterwheel used by the paper mill in the 1820s, but also how the beam-type engine works, but also see the improvements made in different eras such as 1864, 1907, 1910, 1929, etc. Types of steam engines and their applications in different fields. Through this kind of traversal along the historical development footprint, visitors can clearly understand how human society has gradually transformed from traditional industries to large machine industries from dependence on animal power, wind power and water power in the development process. The exhibition hall of the "Underground Manchester" theme exhibition is located in the cellar of the original station, showing the development and evolution of the water supply system and public health facilities in Manchester from Roman times to today. One of the Victorian sewers was directly used in the 19th century. Made of bricks from the 1930s. There are also many do-it-yourself projects in the museum, which let people learn more about the industrial process of that era in a vivid way.

It rained for a day today but I went to the Science and Industry Museum first, saw the machines of the Industrial Revolution, and the real textile machines operating. Through these flying cotton wool, it seemed to see Mr. Thornton's work.
Me and a friend visited The Science and Industry Museum and we had a really great time! :) We were particularly impressed with the Alan Turing (RIP) Computer Science Exhibition and The Sun / Space Exhibition etc. :) The only downside was the really heavy traffic levels from Anglesey to Manchester and back, which made us both feel really tired! :/ But overall this is a really great Museum, in a really great city, and Manchester was indeed the world's first industrialised city. Not to be missed! Enjoy! :)
This Museum of Science and Industry is somewhat like Beijing's 798. It is not a whole exhibition hall, but is divided into many branches according to the main body and concentrated in one area. The first Pavilion we entered was full of old cars and grey machines. The second Pavilion showed basic science and interactive performances for children. It is full of basic knowledge, such as light reflection, sound transmission and so on.
The Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester was built shortly after it was founded in 2000. It still has a lot of collections, many of which are the symbols of the modern industrial revolution, such as generators. It's really great.
The Science Industry Museum is a British museum in Manchester. The museum displays the development of science, technology and industry. The Science Industry Museum uses the world's first passenger railway.
