The permanent exhibitions include the Air & Space Gallery; Out of This World, a space gallery with interactive computer displays and simulations; the Making of Manchester, an exhibition about the city and it's industrial heritage; Xperiment, a hands-on science centre with awesome special effects; and Underground Manchester, a walk through Manchester's Victorian Sewer system, complete with sounds and smells to provide an authentic feel.

The Museum of Science and Industry contains a café where visitors can enjoy a drink and a light snack. The gift shop is an excellent place to purchase memorabilia from your trip.
