I took a group of 5 children, all Dr Who fans, here for my daughters 8th birthday. They were all aged 4-10 and were accompanied by my husband and I, also Dr Who fans! The 4 year old was free, and for the 6 of us, it cost around £31 booked through ticketmaster. The exhibition is actually inside the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry on Liverpool Road. We were fast tracked through the queue which was already quite big at 10am. (I would arrive early as the car park gets filled quickly!) Parking is £5. There are good train and bus services to Manchester if travelling this way. By Train: Nearest railway station - Deansgate. By Tram: Nearest Metrolink (tram) station - GMex. The exhibition is open 10am-5pm and is on until November 2007.
The exhibition itself was very good. You would really need to be a fan to get your moneysworth. Really, you could do it in 20 minutes, but if you walk around a few times and read all the info and watch the videos, you could probably spend an hour or more. There was quite a few excellent exhibits, most from series 1 and 2. These included a cybermen room (with interactive buttons), a moving dalek and a dalek that you could go inside and it made you talk like a dalek! (kids loved this) There was a big Rachnos empress, a clockwork droid, a few outfits from the series, K9, a Slitheen, Auton, Oods, and a few more. There were also some models used in filming including a big ben clock.
Part of the fun is taking photos of yourself with the exhibits. I found that the kids really enjoyed it as did me and my hubby. At the end of the exhibition you end up in a (very expensive) shop. They did though sell a few cheaper items such as badges.
You end up back in the museum where you can easily spend a couple of hours, and it is totally free. It has a cafe and a shop with lots of cheap items for kids pocket money. We really enjoyed our day out here and I would highly recommend it for a day out or party alternative.
