Join us at the Science and Industry Museum for a family-friendly session in their “Power UP” interactive gaming exhibition.
“Play the very best video games from the past five decades and try out over a hundred different consoles. There’s something for everyone, from Pong to Pacman, Sonic to Street Fighter and Mario to Minecraft, plus a selection of games created in Manchester.”
Sessions will be available to book every 15 minutes between 10am and 10:45 am, and you can stay for as long as you like once in the exhibition. Please note that members of the public will start entering the exhibition from 11am.
We will be serving lunch for all attendees at 12 noon.
Siblings and other family members without SEND are also welcome to join.
There’s plenty more to do at the Science and Industry Museum!
