National Football Museum - Manchester

Hmmm, so am interesting viewing and a way to spend a couple of hours. BUT in my opinion, not worth the £17 "donation" (so they can also claim an extra 25%) entry fee for adults.
Lots of stuff for kids to do (some are chargeable extras or ticket upgrades) and one to visit for the real football fan.
Great to see the Jules Rimet trophy (I would have expected the museum make more of this) and also a (replica?) of the premier league trophy.
£10 I think would be a fair price....

Visited the Football Museum in Manchester and it was a mixed experience for me. There are some good interactive bits, especially for kids – things like penalty shootouts, making your own magazine cover, and different touch exercises. The building itself is very striking from the outside and the architecture is worth a look. Inside, there’s a lift to every floor, clean toilets, and a café if you fancy a break. The staff were friendly and even chatted to me about the team I support, which was a nice touch. The gift shop has plenty to browse such as shirts, signed frames, posters, magnets, badges, etc.

On the downside, some of the interactive sections have long queues, sometimes up to half an hour. It’s also cheaper to book online, but if you turn up on the day you pay quite a bit more, which feels unnecessary. I found it a little expensive for what’s there – most of the displays are about football from the 1800s to early 1900s, with not much focus on modern football. There are some trophies, but again, mainly older ones. They have baggage lockers, but they’re not cheap either.

Overall, worth a visit if you’re a big football fan or have kids who’ll enjoy the activities, but I wouldn’t rush back.

Fantastic couple of hours spent at the NFM -

Packed with one of a kind memorabilia from every era and generation of football.
Lots of interactive stuff to do for the kids, both young and the young at heart kids!

Ticket prices are very reasonable, and the gift shop isn't one that feels overpriced either

The National Football Museum is a must-visit for any fan of the beautiful game, tickets last for 12 months with multiple visits. With fascinating exhibits, historic memorabilia, and interactive displays, it brings football's rich history to life. Whether you're reliving iconic moments, testing your skills, or exploring the evolution of the sport, there's something for everyone. You'll definitely learn something you didn't know. An absolute gem for football lovers!

This place is filled with history and nostalgia. One of a kind museum delving into football origins and the great championship clubs.
Took about 30 mins to cover this place plus about 20mins to cover the coffee shop at ground floor..found some interesting souvenirs as well to take home. Walkable distance to other historical places. Well recommended.

Wonderful time

I expected to see lots of memorabilia but really didn’t live up to it. Only one floor with trophies, shirts and goods. The other floors aren’t worth the time.
If you buy tickets online you save two pounds each person.

Excellent experience! I’m not a huge fan, but my husband is. Still, we both loved the museum. Very interactive and informative, super attentive and knowledgeable staff, especially the guy on the first floor.
