I am 21 and went completely alone. There are certain sections which are very tailored to kids such as experiment sections where they can touch and play but even that had things to read.

If you are interested in the engineering and scientific history of Manchester it is perfect for adults too just may not take you a whole day more of an afternoon trip.
