    There is a cafe rouge on Salford Quays ans another at the Arndale end of Deansgate.

    You can do a tour of Old Trafford I think...

    Hi everyone,

    Just resurrecting an old thread here, but seemed pointless starting a new one for (almost) the same question:

    I have friends with 2 little kids (9 months-ish and 3-ish) coming over to Manchester on 23/24 Oct 2010.

    We're Salford-based and have 3 good parks nearby, but need hints on where we can go (within about 1/2 hour's drive), especially if its wet and windy. We don't have kids so are totally clueless!

    Thanks in advance for all suggestions

    #similar age to 2 of my 3!

    Antz in pants in timperley near the tram stop - parents can get food and hot drink and play areas for under ones and up to 5's.

    Also - Anchors away - wythenshawe (food is amazing and very big portions!)

    or head over heels in chorlton.

    Parking is best at Anchors away


    hope this helps
