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!

Very interesting museum, lots of history and great settings to get to know English football, its origin and the role of fans and media. It has an interactive gallery as well as a temporary exhibition. There is activities for people of all ages. Went there on a Friday and a Sunday, absolutely worth it. It was not crowded so I enjoyed peacefully. There are a couple of interactive attractions that weren’t working, but aside from that, absolutely incredible.

Great day out. Some good photo opportunities with trophies. Great to read about the history of football and see all the different trophies, medals and shirts, boots etc. the 1st floor was great with a few interactive things to do as well as all the history. Didn’t see what was on the 2’d floor as there was a big queue. The 3rd floor was cool. Looking at all the old annuals and football books. Nice cafe as well.

The museum is okay but the price is quite high, it could be more interactive, generally historical facts were presented, plus the additional activities inside cost extra. The museum shop was also expensive. I would recommend a manchester stadium&museum tour instead.
