From a birthday treat at McDonald's or Wimpy to splashing about in one of region's lost water parks - we were spoilt for choice
As kids, birthdays were about getting our parents to take us and our friends on a day out and, ideally, somewhere to stuff ourselves with burgers and desserts. Kids in the 1980s and '90s were spoilt for choice when it came to exciting places to celebrate their birthdays.
Many Mancunians will also remember hosting or going to a Ronald McDonald party at a branch, which included playing games, everyone getting a balloon and enjoying a Happy Meal. The original Trafford Centre restaurant was a great example of a classic '90s McDonald's.Shaped like a giant carton of fries next to an enormous soft drink cup, inside there were moving figures of Ronald McDonald and the Hamburglar who travelled around an overhead track.
4. Wacky Warehouse Running wild in the soft play, followed by colouring and pizza - Wacky Warehouse was one of the best children's birthday parties back in the day. A nationwide brand, children of the '90s will have memories of ball pits, steep slides and rope bridges. There were also branches of Wimpy in Salford, Middleton, Stockport and the Arndale Centre through the years. Today, the closest Wimpy to Manchester are the ones in Huddersfield or Birkenhead and the chain has just 67 restaurants in Britain, down from over 500 during its height in the 1970s - but back in the day many loved going there for a birthday treat.
