Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Little Hulton

"MOSI is one of the best museums for children in Manchester, although there is plenty to excite the adults while their kids run wild playing with the experiments on the top floor. Based around Manchester’s importance in the history of the development of science, technology and transport, vast halls house relics of the industrial revolution, old steam trains and early fighter jets. All of the displays and exhibits seem to be designed with children in mind, as everything is fun and vibrant and there’s plenty to interact with."

"Manchester's rich industrial legacy is explored in this excellent museum set within the enormous grounds of the old Liverpool St station, the oldest rail terminus in the world. The large collection of steam engines, locomotives and original factory machinery tell the story of the city from the sewers up, while a host of new technology looks to the future. "

"Science and Industry Museum, Liverpool Road, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M3 4FP - Visit now.

"Imperial War Museum North (IWM North), Imperial War Museum North, The Quays, Trafford Wharf Road, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M17 1TZ - Visit now. Discover how war shapes lives in this award-winning Daniel Libeskind building representing a globe changed by conflict.

"From personal survivor accounts to common conflict themes, the Imperial War Museums explores the human aspect of war and the effect it has on everyday life before, during and after. Featuring one-off exhibitions as well as a main showcase and connected to other similar museums around the UK, the IWM shines and light on the conflicts Britain and the Commonwealth have been involved in since World War I. Focusing on the many changes war has brought to the UK, from the role of women in society to technology and science advances."

"In Trafford, you will find a striking building that is specifically designed to leave all visitors slightly uneasy and assist them to process all the feelings that conflicts and war can evoke – the building lies on a former bomb site. The main exhibitions chart all the wars that have affected Britain since the First World War. Taxis in Manchester are here to help you avoid missing out the Big Picture Show – a blend of film and photographs."

"Address: University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL. Manchester Museum is one of my favourite museums in Manchester. Their focus is natural history and they also have sections on culture and Ancient Egypt/Sudan."

"Run by the University of Manchester, this museum and its superb Gothic Revival building embraces anthropology, natural history, and archaeology…"

"Of the city's older buildings, the real gem is the John Rylands Library on Deansgate, a little masterpiece of Victorian Gothic nestling amid a forest of shops and office blocks. From the outside, the library looks so like a medieval church, with its turrets and stained-glass windows, that it comes as a surprise to learn that it is barely a hundred years old. Inside, it is a bibliophile's dream, a warren of dusty, book-lined rooms, with pride of place going to an original fragment of the Old Testament.Contact: library.manchester.ac.uk"

"Out of all the sights in Manchester, John Rylands Library is my favourite. This is the one place I bring all new visitors to Manchester and I just can’t get enough of this beautiful building. It was built in memory of John Rylands by his widow (very Taj Mahal) and looks like it has been plucked straight out of a Harry Potter novel."

"This Victorian Neo-gothic building is one of the most beautiful landmarks in Manchester. Oddly enough, although most people know about it, a lot of locals never visited it!. This is a mistake you shouldn’t be making as it is truly gorgeous!"

"Soup Kitchen, 31-33 Spear Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, Manchester, M1 1DF - Visit now. Though the bar has been around for a while, and during the day Soup Kitchen is a decent place to go to for a Northern Quarter, communal-style lunch, the recent redevelopment of Soup Kitchen’s basement space has monopolised the city’s truly great music and club gigs of late. As a room, it’s a little bit dingy, but it more than comes to life when there are 150 people stuffed inside, all clamouring for a view of the latest hype band – though venue owners please note: the grim, unisex toilets go a fair way in dulling any musical enjoyment."

"This Piccadilly Gardens restaurant serves up delicious bowls of steaming hot ramen, and for students, it's absolute steal. Students can choose from the signature Shoryu Ganso or White Natural ramen (both normally £11.90) for just £7 every Tuesday when showing a valid student card. Keep an eye on their website too, as the restaurant offers a changing selection of deals each month: shoryuramen.com/deals ."

"Chow down on fluffy buns, crispy tempura, sashimi, yakitori and plenty more at Shoryu. With deals that range from NHS and student discounts to two for one buns on a Monday and takoyaki for just £4.95 on Tuesdays, it's one of our favourite affordable restaurants in Manchester."
