I have visited this wonderful collection of football history a number of times going back to the days when it was at Preston but here, I want to focus on the Manchester incarnation. The museum was always free entry until a few years ago (2019) when they started charging £11 to enter which badly affected the numbers of those who attended which is a shame because something like this should be free for everyone and not just those who reside in the local area. A family pass is about £28 for 2 adults and 2 kids. So, the museum entry aside, what’s on offer inside? The entrance is a great start as leading up to the entry doors, there are stepping plates to remember players and managers from years gone by. It’s a nice touch before you even get inside the door. Once inside the venue, there are a plethora of sights over a number of levels. Things are mixed up a little to avoid the repetition of seeing the same things over and again. Mind, many of the items on show are permanent pieces and rightly so. The museum hosts exhibitions throughout the year and you can finish up in the museum store and cafe before leaving to explore more of what’s on offer in Manchester. The last visit I made meant I was able to see a Pele exhibition which was absolutely fantastic. If you are a football of any degree, this place is worth a visit. Even if you aren’t or just hold a passing interest, it’s worth the trip. Despite my personal disagreements with entry prices, I’ll be going back again in a couple of months to see the new changes and seasonal exhibition, “When Football Was Football”.

One of the most fun museums I have ever been to! If you get your reduced tickets online you pay £1 less per ticket so make sure you do that. The museum has many interesting sections (maybe a bit weirdly connected/organised but that's on the layout of the building, which is a weird shape) and tons of interactive football activities that you get access to by scanning a QR code they give you at the entrance. From goalkeeping simulator to pass simulator, quizzes, pass accuracy challenge, etc... There's other paid activities, like £2 for a penalty simulator or £1 for a game of foosball, which I think should be free since the entry to the museum is already a bit expensive. Maybe they aren't free because people would create big queues for it but there could be a time slot reservation system in place to avoid this, maybe. But these are all minor issues, really, and you can definetely see why you would pay to see this museum, since it must take a lot of work to keep every screen and activity working properly, which is not always the case. Another thing I will mention about the price is that it is a yearly ticket you are purchasing, which means that you will get to go to the museum and play around with their displays as much as you want during those 12 months, so definetely worth it if you live nearby and want a fun getaway every now and again

Really impressive and immersive, definitely worth it if you like football. Or don't actively hate football. And if you do actively hate football, well, it could change your mind. I'd say the "at least 1hr 30" is an "at least" - I could well have spent longer than I did here, at 2 hours - I wasn't in the mood for some of the interactive data dumps. The vibes are immaculate (there's a very positive implicit vision of football), and the service I experienced was great. Also, would say that there is a reasonably broad base in terms of teams drawn from - there is a lot of using artifacts from specific teams to illustrate general principles, rather than specific team histories, and a refreshing moderation in the use of 'big six' teams. Note about visit time: I came around opening time, on Wednesday, during Leicestershire half-term - it really wasn't busy even towards the end of my visit and I can see it being even quieter when nowhere is on school holiday (there were a few small groups with children in). Pre-booking isn't essential in this circumstance, but it does make it marginally cheaper if you don't live in the city.

Went on a fact finding mission for our development of the Welsh football museum. Very good introduction tour from a very knowledgeable guide and it was a great introduction to the galleries. Some very good and interesting exhibitions tendency to concentrate on England and events in the English game. Particularly good collection of trophies. Some aspects of the development of stadiums and football at war. Interactive floor was good fun and should keep the young and old busy. The current exhibition about football games is like a step back in time and should fascinate youngsters as to how games both board games and electronic have developed. Yes you can play Subbuteo! Particularly good is the introductory corridor which has films and stills about 11 particularly important events in football and some football art on the other wall. At the end is a case containing inclusive football of every variety. There's a little shop with some good reasonably priced items. The cafe is limited in choice but a decent cup of coffee. I would say that the entry fee is worth it given the amount of things to see and do.

Prebook the tickets if going on weekends or holidays. We went over Easter, and by about 1 p.m. it was sold out so we purchased for two days later whilst there - which was good as it also sold out by midday. The museum is well laid out, and covers every aspect of football - the history of the game, key players, fans involvement, critical matches, memorabilia, stadium buildings, info from the refs, coaches, and physiology points of views. The largest focus is on England’s men teams, but dos also cover women’s football and international matches. It is good for both football enthusiasts as well as those just wanting to see something new or interesting. It also uses a variety of mediums - video clips, artwork, uniforms, and good signage throughout. You can probably see it in about 1-1.5 hours at a moderate pace, not including the additional activities on the 2nd floor (some of which were paid). Most items are on the 1st floor, though there are pieces to see on 2nd and a special exhibition on 3rd. They also have a small shop and cafe, and decent toilets.

My photo taken of the outside is the closest I came to visiting this time as I was stunned to discover it is £14 for an adult to visit and £7 for children. Aware that there is a slight reduction for online bookings but this is disgusting! Last time we visited it was totally free. They have made it unaffordable for the working class people who it should be aimed at and priced out the people who would enjoy it most. The FA should force the premier league clubs to fund this, bearing in mind football is a multi billion pound industry. Shocking that football clubs and players seem to have forgotten the grass roots part of the game as they weren't all born in Old Trafford or Wembley were they? They made their name by playing on the cabbage pitches on Sunday mornings in freezing January whilst their parents watched and now they're happy for a family to spend £40 odd to come and wander through a museum for an hour. Hang your heads in shame professional top flight footballers, agents and clubs as this is terrible.

Called in on a wet miserable day it was either this place or strange ways plus it was very handy from the train station 2 minute walk I just struggled to find the entrance but my eye sight is not the best plus there are signs pointing towards the entrance - It’s £14 to fill your boots with the history of the dying game but you can’t take away the history the roots the working class formed game - A friendly welcome with a 1 off payment to attend has many times has you want during the year which is a great offer the first floor has plenty to look at with a video of sir Bobby Charlton playing with a city - united like fan portraits / the second floor delves into the history of both men plus women also more women upstairs along with subbuteo there is also a penalty shoot out upstairs plus various games which you can take part in for a small fee - This place seems very popular with young families also there is a cafe on the way out . When it rains this is a decent place to keep dry I guess .

(Detailed review below) Atmosphere ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accessibility ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cost ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're a football fan, this is probably a straightforward must-see place. I don't follow football but even I enjoyed the visit and learning interesting bits of information; it definitely covers the history quite well and throw some light on more obscure bits like women's football. There are also interactive sections where you can challenge yourself to a penalty shootout or try your hand at commentating. If you live within the Greater Manchester region, entry is free upon proof of your postcode (utility bills etc) otherwise it is a paid entry. There is a merchandise store and a cafe as well. Please take note of the last entry time which, I believe, is an hour before it closes. And allocate enough time because there's actually quite a lot to read, see and do. Enjoy!

Honestly, best museum I've visited in the whole world. we spent Matt's 23rd birthday, three hours inside. there was so much information and news. There were so many interactive aspects. We were advised we would only need to spend an hour and a half but we spent so much time in it. We were greeted by such an amazing host, I don't remember his name but he was a local with so much knowledge about the city. We were so welcomed, we enjoyed the three floors of pure joy. The museam wasn't like separated in terms of men's and women's football or race and inclusion. the museam is all inclusive of all the aspects of football from the 1800s and even earlier history. I enjoyed learning more about women being banned from football for 50 years. We listened to old radio clippings of football matches. I recommend for any ages.

A nice, clean museum that should take about 1:30-2 hours. While I’m not too interested in football I enjoyed the multiple small bits of information and the focus on Women’s Football. However I would definitely say it was a kid friendly museum so a lot of the j formation is directed and formatted for a younger audience. There were also activities like a penalty shoot out and keepy up section. However since th information was very scattered on the walls it felt very easy to miss sections of information, especially as it was quite crowded so I recommend pre booking. Overall a nice place with a little shop and cafe at the end (which were both over priced and very limited) but a nice day activity for information for the interested, activities for the kids and plenty of places to sit down if not interested.

We visited Saturday 25th March as a part of the REAListic West Brom SUPPORTers group and were given a tour by none other than fountain of knowledge Allan Maull which gave great insight to the stories behind the artefacts on show and information we wouldn't have known about just looking for ourselves. I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all the museum staff and volunteers that were so accommodating of our visit and to Christian with whom we exchanged emails with to organise and plan our trip. The 3 floors give something for everyone including an interactive floor 2 and a fantastic art exhibition commissioned through Eric Cantona that is definitely worth a look on the 3rd floor. All in all a top day out and thanks again on behalf of us all for your efforts. It was a day to remember!

Genuinely one of the best museums I've ever been to and I would not class myself as a football fan. My ten year old, who is a fan, and I spent 6 hours here together - brilliant interactive exhibits and really interesting from a social and cultural history perspective too. The staff are all really warm, welcoming and friendly. The toy exhibition is a particular highlight. Loved the emphasis on gender equity - there is an amazing mural of Mary Earps currently on display. Does not shy away from discussing how racism and homophobia have impacted players and supporters and is a great way to talk about these issues with your kids. I would thoroughly recommend the National Football Museum to anyone with even a passing interest in football and/or social history.

The football museum, its a great place to come and visit for education and for fun if you and your family are football fans. First floor is all about education from videos and facts to read about but then the second floor is we're all the fun is at, you can check out your penalty shooting skills on full sized football net with a computer goal keeper and see how good your shooting is, you can see how accurate your passing skills are in the football passing arena and also check out your own skills from kick ups to multi skills in the skills arena. Very cheap for what you get and if you buy online your tickets last a year!! You can even finish the trip off with the gift store.

A good museum for any footy fan, lots of interactive stuff for kids, my son especially liked the commentator challenge. The gift shop was good with plenty of inexpensive items for families trying to keep costs down. Not knowing the area I had no idea how to get to the carpark only to find there is no parking there but plenty nearby. Ended up at the Arndale Centre which was costly to park. Only downside to the museum is that is was unnecessarily woke. I believe a love of football is something that unites people whereby without it there may be a divide. We were not the only people who felt the politics should be left out. Other than that - we loved it!

Football, the most popular sport and has most number of fans in the world. It has everything, dedication, passion, resilience, courage and creativity. According to the website, it's the only national football museum in the UK. Museum displays exquisite football history from the beginning, however, there are also room for improvements. Staff's there are knowledgeable about the objects lay out there and some stories related to the sport are thiriling, specially that related to the Jules Rimet trophy. After one and only international trophy won by England long back in 1966, I feel they are really craving for another major international recognition. Maybe they will get it in this 21st century or maybe not.

Took my son and his friends for his birthday. Ideal place for a football fans’ birthday celebration. A good mixture of interesting facts, displays with boards to read, colouring in, skills booths to practice your kick ups and the best of all was the penalty-taking area where the boys queued up to pay £2 for shots against a full size net which was a screen with a goalie trying to save your shot! Well worth it and what a lovely city to visit. Lovely architecture and had lunch in the Arndale centre which had a great variety of shops. All fully accessible for people of all backgrounds and abilities- despite the stairs.

An imposing piece of architecture housing an impressive (but not exhaustive) array of both mens and women football memorabilia, catering as much to children as to the adult football fan - however, it is nevertheless a must-visit for the latter, to deep dive into the history of English football, the World Cup and football generally, including artworks, documents, stadium furniture, balls, boots, ticket stubs, fan merchandise, trophies, a lifesize model of Sergio Aguero’s head for a FIFA video game etc. - I can personally guarantee you will walk away having learnt some fun facts and feeling a little more intimate with your other life partner, football.

If you like football then you will love this place! It’s very interesting with lots of memorabilia and interactive activities. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to look around if you want to have a good look at everything as there is so many different things to see and do. There is a gift shop and cafe aswell. Great location and easy parking on the multi-storey car park near by or would also be easy to get to by Tram or Train. Only drawback to this place is that you have to pay for entry which has changed, although this grants you access back into the museum for 12 months which makes it worth it. Overall, very enjoyable and a good day out.

Visited with young teen son in school holidays, train and yellow Bury metro tram to from Picadilly to Shudehill gets you to within few minutes walk of the museum. Not a bad price for what is there, we spent 2 hours making the most of everything. Loads of interesting exhibits and history on first floor, engaging football activities on second floor - being prepared to queue but relatively fast moving, and the Cantona art exhibition on the third floor was somewhat thought provoking, but over younger ones' heads. Would recommend getting tickets online in advance.

Second visit to the museum and won’t be the last. We visited in half term week so additional activities were happening for the kids such as badge and crown making which the youngest loved. The fact you get a free pass for 12 months after purchasing a ticket means you can go again, if like us you didn’t get round the whole thing (other activities booked in around manchester so had to leave) football mad son loves it here, so much to see, activities to do such as become a commentator, penalty shoot outs, challenges etc.

This was so much fun. From the get go, huge thanks to Craig. What a man. He is such a lovely person and welcomes everyone, interacting with them from the moment they step in. All through our visit he was around to guide and chat. He made our whole experience extra special. The museum is a must go for all footy fans and take on the penalty shootout out challenge. Lots of activities and lots see and read. A good few hours worth to do here. Those that don't want to walk around can go across the road to Arndale Centre as this is smack in the middle of Manchester town centre.

Growing up, my father was coaching a soccer team in our hometown and all that made me a fond of this beautiful British game. I enjoyed my time at the National Football Museum yesterday and I think it’s a good context to document the legacy. I liked the sequence of the galleries as well as the interactive activities such as penalty shoots rooms and immersive cinema. I hope to go back there another time with my father who brought the love of soccer game into our memories.

I'm not that interested in football but still enjoyed the strange stories and folklore. There's lots of interactive activities but they had quite long lines. However the staff were crazy friendly and the displays had tons of information. I would recommend this place mostly to children and adults who are still children at heart.

If you are a Football fan, you cannot miss this Museum. As the only national football museum in the UK, it is heavily focused on the game within the boundaries of the island and information on world cups in general. The museum displays exquisite football history from its beginnings until what it is today. It has awesome interactive tools for engaging with the past, videos about former stars discussing historic events and a whole level for testing your skills (such as scoring penalties, dribbling, shooting aim and goalkeeping reflexes).

The museum is packed from floor to ceiling with amazing curations of football history and some alternating displays as per relevance to the current football climate. On every single floor there are interactive displays, amazing videos to watch, and even fun games like oenalty shootouts you can partake in. It's a super cool way to spend the day and a place you could easily visit many times (especially since the ticket lasts a year).

Nice Museum , Football fans will love this museum . It will take around 1.5 to 2.5 hrs to complete visit to museum , depends on your interest. Admission fees is applicable for all visitor from outside city of Manchester. Manchester residents can visit free of charge but have to show some ID proof that they are local resident . Kids enjoyed interactive Penalty Shootout .

Museum is over 3 floors and has lifts if needed. First floor is the most interesting with memorabilia from a wide variety of clubs and countries. 2nd and 3rd floors have several interactive areas and seem more aimed at a younger audience than me so found these a bit less interesting

Cool museum, it’s fun to look at for any football fan, was mostly English football which was fun to learn about but would have loved to have seen more European stuff! It’s smaller than I expected. The last (top) floor was just about women. Felt like they didn’t need a whole floor for that. But it was good to pass an hour

Generally OK, but for a few extras activities, you still need to pay above the ticket price. Suppose to be a National Museum, but you can have a vibe of being too much focused on Manchester United and not on other teams from England.

As a sports fan, this place was just beautiful! Manchester is my favorite city to visit with beautiful people, and such friendly staffs have welcomed me as soon as I stepped my foot in the door in this beautiful building. Such a beautiful

Staff nice brought a large football to my son as he has a wheelchair and it made it more inclusive for him. Kept my kids busy for hours. Nice place will be back with the offer pay once and can come back a second time free within the year!

It was an amazing experience thanks to Mr Allan. He is very knowledgeable, professional, nice, friendly, polite. I will definitely recommend to visit this museum it’s beautiful. Allan is a volunteer there and if you are lucky to get him,

Lovely place for children and adults to visit, and lots of things to see, even if you're not into football, I think you'd still appreciate this museum! Each floor has interactive games for you to try, although a couple of them is a long

Excellent, location, and building. Need more information and articles latest maches. Last World Cup and next coming world Cup information not included.

Lots of interesting memorabilia, plenty to read and do. A good 2 hours or more to get around everything if you take your time. Probably biased but only giving 4* as there's a lack of things relating to Sheffield. Disappointed there's so

This is a great place to visit even for those with no interest in football. It is an interactive and informative museum. I expected to spend about 30 minutes here, but I was fully engaged for nearly 2 hours! Much of that was down to my

My husband as a football lover enjoys visiting this museum. Informative football history and fun games. The $14 tickets are a little pricey though.

Brilliant for kids and not so little kids, we went as a family of 5 for around £30 which means you can revisit for the next year free. Only thing we paid for was a penalty shoot out which was also brilliant highly recommended

Lovely staff, not too busy even on bank holiday, longest wait was for penalty kick activity which was 10-15mins. Had to pay £2 each for penalties but good fun, lots of activities for everyone plus history and exhibits. More

Spent 3 hours here with two boys aged 10 and 7. Had to pay for entrance and penalties but still good value and kept us all entertained.

So informative, if you even relatively enjoy football this is a must! Interactive stations and they breach the hard topics like Child labor in football and women playing the sport early on.

Brilliant place, so much to do and see. Kids loved how interactive it was. Great value for money

Amazing museum! So much history. Be sure to do a guided tour, too. Our guide, Kate, was incredible! I'm not even a big football fan and highly recommend this museum!

Was fun enough place...sure most footy fans would enjoy it....It is not that indepth and not quite upto date as everything was pre Qatar world cup but I enjoyed it.

It was great. Me and my son we had so much fun. Lots of games to play and things to see. I didn't put five stars because the toilet was very dirty. More

Very nice place. Learned something more about the game I love.
