Imperial War Museum North

Purpose-built to tell powerful stories of over a century of conflict, IWM North makes full use of its extraordinary exhibition space to deliver a moving and immersive experience.

Reviewed By BarryC732 - Chorley, United Kingdom

Set in Salford Quays the IWM North is a modern museum exhibiting different aspects and effects of war. During our visit the theme was "Less we Forget", showing exhibits and films of WW1. The museum was well laid out and provided a thought provoking experience for us all. Entrance is free and a pay car park is situated next to the museum. The museum includes a shop and a cafe. The displays are changed regularly so well worth repeated visits. It is staffed by volunteers who are very helpful and will answer any queries.

Went Altrincham Market 5 years ago and had the best pizza in my entire life. I still dream and often think about that pizza. To be honest it could be awful now but I highly doubt such a godly made pizza could ever be bad. Highly recommend for everyone to try although be warned, if you can’t go again soon after eating this absolute beast of a pizza you WILL constantly think about when you will get to try this slice of heaven again.. If at all.

We visit here quite often. it's a lovely park to walk your dog's. There is plenty of open field and nice wooded areas to explore, a few free parking spaces to the right as you go through the entrance, a big pond, seating benches, etc. We and our dogs love it here.

I had a brilliant time at Sea Life Manchester. From the very beginning I received polite and friendly service from Ellis, Chloe and Imogen at the front desk, and then I learned some cool and interesting facts that Ellie and Matt provided before and during my turtle feeding experience. It was a great day! Charli was also very good with the cockroach handling experience. I would recommend and I will be coming by again!

We visited the park in October so it was wet and muddy, but we were really keen to try out the disc golf course here – and it such great fun! :-D Free parking in the large park carparks. There was a map near to the carpark and we located the park café on the map to find the disc golf course. Afterwards we explored the park a little in the sunshine and found tennis courts, playgrounds for younger and older kids (with a climbing wall/mound, zipline) and a small pets corner near to the café. Here there are a few small animals that are looked after by volunteers; goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens etc. The paths were all good and lots of interesting little walks to take.
