We all LOVE to visit the Library and Museums. It is full of wonderful books and history, Of course we also visit the fishes in the Aquarium while we visit. It's amazing, the staff are brilliant and so helpful.

A variety of things to learn about ranging from the history of Bolton, to the history of Egypt. Plants and animals. A little bit for everyone to enjoy really and there's even some dressing up trunks for kids on the way around. I especially enjoyed the unknown man in the ancient Egypt section. There's also a gift shop if you want any little souvenirs such as figures, pens and toys or even homemade jewellery.
My boys love to visit. They never tire of looking at all the stuffed and pickled animals. The recent mineral exhibition was fantastic. As was the Egyptian rooms.There is an interactive play area for younger children. Lots of interesting pictures, facts and figures. Loads of local history stuff, a little shop area and a small aquarium. However, due to Covid 19 this was closed at the last visit. If you are trying to think of something 'FREE' to do on a rainy/bored day. You could while away a couple hours of child friendly time here. And, as its based in Bolton town centre, at the time of writing its free parking and lots of places to eat and drink nearby.
Enjoyed a.visit to the museum just before lockdown 2 commenced. Very good one way systems in place.
A lovely little museum, aquarium and art gallery set over several levels. Wheelchair access to all areas. Lots of practical hands on on stuff for children. Free entry (we left a donation in the donation box), there is a picnic area and a small but reasonably priced gift shop. There is no cafe so would advise bringing a drink with you. Aquarium is small and needs a refurbished but the museum and art gallery are up to a high standard. Activity sheets available for children.
