Description
Trains to Manchester
Renowned for its entertainment, and of course football status – Manchester is the perfect place for a visit. And with our convenient rail day trip, all you need are your train tickets and a good attitude to see everything Manchester has to offer.

Upon arrival, the city is yours to explore and if you are looking for things to do, we have you covered with the added option of either a Manchester City Stadium tour or entry to LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre Manchester.
Manchester City Stadium
Go behind the scenes of Manchester City and learn about the team who won the 2022 Premier League. Using the latest technology, sit and interact with manager Pep Guardiola in the press room, become immersed in the City Story via the 360-degree cinema experience, and sample the stunning audio-visual experience direct from the First Team changing room. There is a surprise at every turn!
Your expert guide will lead you through the behind-the-scenes areas of the stadium and each area will be brought to life with interesting stories, facts, and anecdotes. The tour will begin at 1:30pm.
LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre Manchester
Designed for children aged 3-10 years, LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre is the ultimate indoor playground and a must-see in Manchester. Visit Miniland – built from over 1.5 million bricks, to see airships swoop, towers glow, mischievous Minifigures hiding and the land changing from day to night. Admire mini cobbles of Coronation Street and the rollercoasters of Alton Towers too.
Plus, see the LEGO Ninjago City Adventure and its 3 storeys of play area. Practice moves in the temple training area, hop aboard your chariot and fight off beastly trolls and sneaky skeletons to save the captured princess in the Kingdom Quest Ride. Or pedal as fast as you can to conjure Merlin’s magic in Merlin’s Apprentice Ride. Witness a rocket blast off in Space Mission and meet the amazing Master Model Builders to get some tips on how to build a speedy LEGO car.
You can also watch a 3D film change to 4D in the LEGO 4D Cinema experience where you’ll feel rain, wind and even snow with your favourite LEGO characters.
