About Bubble Planet Manchester
Bubble Planet is an immersive, multisensory experience in the heart of Manchester, set across 10 themed environments filled with colour, light and interactive fun. It is suitable for all ages and designed to spark wonder in children and adults alike - whether you are visiting at the weekend, during school holidays or looking for something a little different on a rainy day.
From the moment you step inside, you will move through a series of one-way rooms, each with its own distinct theme and activities. Highlights include the Bubble Ocean, where you wade through a sea of living balloons; the Bubble Bath ball pit, where you feel miniaturised in a giant tub; the Selfie Room, packed with photo opportunities; and the Infinity Room, where mirrored walls and shifting lights create the illusion of endless space. Creative visitors can also design their own bubbles in the Sketch and Post room and watch their designs come to life on screen.
For families with older children, the VR room offers a fully immersive virtual reality experience. Children aged 8 and over can take part in the VR room independently. Younger children are welcome to experience it with an adult.
The full experience takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes, though you are welcome to spend as long as you like in each room before moving on.

Why We Think Bubble Planet Is A Must-Visit For Families
Bubble Planet is one of those rare experiences that genuinely works for every age in the group - toddlers love the ball pits and balloon rooms, older children gravitate toward the VR and Selfie Room, and adults tend to linger in the Infinity Room longer than anyone expected. It is indoors, all on one level, and runs year-round, which makes it a reliable option whatever the weather.
Tickets start from £17.90 for children aged 4 to 17, with adults from £23.90. Children aged 3 and under visit free of charge. Under 17s must be accompanied by an adult. Booking in advance is strongly recommended as walk-up availability is limited.
