The indoor scalextrics track is pretty awesome if you're into it, can't remember the exact location but only one of its type in Europe I think. Properly huge tracks and relatively cheap. I can't remember its exact location, might be a bit far out.
There's also Snow Zone (indoor ski slope with real snow, quite cool) and indoor sky diving in a big tube out near the Trafford Centre (worth seeing on its own, like something from Las Vegas).
You could do one of the walking music tours that takes in Oasis/Stone Roses/Smiths/Hacienda etc. sites, quite good sometimes.
Fosters also used to do tours of their brewery in South Manchester with as much as beer as you can drink at the end, don't know does it still even operate though, check that one up.
For a really good, really cheap (talking £1.80) pint try the Oyster Bar, oldest building still standing in Manchester, at the back of the Arndale centre right beside the Football Museum (also worth a visit, it's free and loads of interactive stuff).
As for the night out, don't let anyone send you to the Printworks complex, it's **** and full of a lot of the local scum or Deansgate Locks which is very Geordie Shore like, great comedy club called the Comedy store there though. Try Northern Quarter (bit hipstery in spots but quite good for music and some cracking looking women in Kosmonaut
and great drinks in Manu Tiki the Hawaiian bar, get the one in the Crystal Skull, it'll blow your head off) or the Deansgate. 0 -
