Jodrell Bank Centre for Engagement

A beloved landmark in the Cheshire countryside south of Manchester, the Jodrell Bank Centre for Engagement is a reminder of just how important the city is to the world of science. The University of Manchester's impressive radio telescope centre is a key part of the UK's astronomy research, scanning the skies to improve our knowledge of the Universe. The Jodrell Bank Centre for Engagement allows visitors to discover the Universe beside the world-famous Lovell Radio Telescope and explore the planet Earth in the beautiful 35-acre tree-filled gardens.

The Snow Centre Manchester

The Snow Centre Manchester is an indoor snow complex just outside the city with real snow year-round. The main draw is the play park, where sledging lanes, snow luge rides, and downhill donuts keep families busy for a couple of hours, alongside indoor ski and snowboard slopes for lessons and practice. It’s a popular option when the weather’s grey or plans need a change of pace from museums and shopping.

Heaton Park

At Heaton Park, the largest and most beautiful park in the area, you can find plenty of family activities, such as an animal centre, tram museum, bowling greens, golf course, boating lake, and horse riding. If you haven't brought your picnic basket, there are cafés on-site to solve that problem.

Standedge Tunnel & Visitor Centre

Hard hats at the ready! Standedge Tunnel is Britain's longest, deepest, and highest canal tunnel, hidden deep beneath the beautiful Pennine countryside. One of the seven wonders of the local waterways, this must-see attraction is located in Marsden, a charming Yorkshire village. A great day out for all the family, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Discover the history of Standedge in the visitor centre, which is free to enter. Learn the stories of the folk who built and navigated this tremendous tunnel. Meanwhile, the kids will be kept occupied in the indoor soft play area and the outdoor adventure play area! Feeling peckish? You’ll find the wonderful Watersedge Café in the old Tunnel End cottages. Enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of cake or visit for lunch on a lovely summer’s day by the canal. You may even see the resident ducks, Jemima and Duncan, float past the picnic tables.
