Hi all. I will bring my 11 year old nephew to Manchester in March to watch United vs Bournemouth. I have traveled before with friend on my own age, and had no trouble filling out rest of the weekend with bars, restaurants etc. Now, with him, it must be different. Have a couple of questions for you all, if you have the time to help.
Besides going to the match and visiting the museum / tour, is there something 'must do'. It's one of his biggest dreams (to visit Old Trafford), but I don't think he knows we will be spending 60 hours over there :)
And by the way. What about bringing him in to a bar before the game? Would be awesome for him to experience the build up together with other fans as well.
Thanks.

Trafford centre is around the corner hot sea life and legoland there.

The Bishops Blaize will be ok for a kid that age.
I would NOT recommend the Trafford though, not with an 11yr old.
enjoy Manchester :-)

The university history museum is brilliant and free, you also have the national football museum in town, that's also free, I would also not recommend the Trafford for a nipper.

Daytona Manchester is up the road from OT, not that cheap but is pretty good.

On the subject of pubs try Salford keys there will be fans about but it will be more chilled.

Simon,
Should be able to open a few doors as well on the keys.

Manchester Museum of Science and Industry is donation and has a lot spread over a few sites and kept my kid interested for a while.
