Go for a walk on the glass roof - not recommended for people scared of heights!
This place showcases the glassmaking heritage of my city. You can even blow your own glass items. It's ideally located right by the river and is perfect to walk to from my house on a nice day. Stop in the café for a nice coffee and a bite to eat.

4 Lambton StThe home of Sunderland AFC! My favourite team! Go and watch a match if there is one on when you are here. We will probably lose because we aren't very good but don't let that put you off, it hasn't put me off in 30 years :-)
Also high profile concerts take place here in the summer. Beyoncé, Rihanna, Take That, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Coldplay, Oasis, One Direction and many more have been here over the years.
