Traveler reviews
Aline Meyer Oliveira
★★★★★4 months agoTruly enjoyed our visit!! Very welcoming staff. Beautiful stories in the museum and beautiful synagogue to visit. I particularly liked to see the museum is alive, with events for adults and children and music! We also really enjoyed to eat a kosher l'Pessach menu at the cafe. Really happy to have visited! They were welcoming with our toddler too :)

★★★★★3 weeks agoVisited when I had a couple of hours spare in Manchester. The staff we really helpful, both on arrival and as I went around. There's two elements - a museum sharing interesting artifacts and stories, then a visit to the synagogue. I appreciated the balance between people and religion, with the later being factual rather than spiritual in it's positioning. Well worth a visit!
