Average but nothing special. Something indoors to do on a rainy day and worth a visit if you are already in the area. Only interesting thing for kids and teenagers were the four interactive exhibits including a penalty shootout (long queue). Other exhibits not of much interest to the younger generation. Top floor was closed for renovation and opening later this month I think. Has an on-site cafe called the dugout which looked a bit average so we didn’t try it.

The perfect museum for two football mad grandsons. Lots of varied exhibits covering the history of the Beautiful Game. Covers both club and international football as well as the style and art connected with the game. Lots of interactive exhibits plus football games to play.

Love football. Long wanted to visit but it did little for me. Football has a vast and rich history and maybe because of that, creating a national museum on the subject is pretty difficult. I think many clubs will have their own, superior museums. This felt too generic, unfocused and just a bit dull. Sorry, really wanted to enjoy it.

Good experience, it got lots of football exhibits inside. I learnt a lot about the football history. My wife also enjoyed an afternoon inside it. It is still a muesum. Please don't expect it as another football fun park. The main theme is still for looking back the football history. For younger child, it may not be very excitied although it has many football related activities on the 2nd floor. My sons played the penalites kick game on 2nd floor and the long pass game. But, the kids does not have much patencie to watch the exhibits. They just stayed on the 2nd floor during the visit.

Although I am not a football fan myself, I still enjoyed visiting this museum. There are exhibitions on the history of football, famous games and championships and there are even some interactive games. My favourite area in the museum was the temporary exhibition about women in football on the top floor.

Museum was very busy despite having to prebook with no walk up entry. Lots of lovely photographs, memorabilia, replica trophies as you would expect. 40 minute queue for the £2 penalty shoot out this should have a time slot to book. Good interactive activities for younger children. Annoyed it was packed with people who had gained free entry when we had paid £31 not worth the entry fee.

Great for lovers of football. Lots of things to see and do for a football lover. Some things you need to scan your ticket for (the keepy uppy challenge and a couple more) and you have to pay a couple of pounds for the penalty shoot out but everything else is free. Top floor is just footballing games, but the other floors have facts and items from various teams in leagues. I thought the price was a little much for an adult ticket, although it is valid for a whole year, but if you live outside of Manchester and the displays don't change then I don't think you would go back again within the year. Still it's worth a visit.

Considering the English women's team, won the 2022 euros. There is very little to see on the current women's game. Let alone the success of both Manchester teams within the WSL. Alot of historic content but poor overall. Thankfully, my visit was free.

ok, a bit expensive TBH; went with 2 fifteen year old football mad boys but they skimmed most of the displays, spent 30 minutes in a queue for penalty shoot-out that didn't move in all that time. had a fun game of subbuteo where I showed them how I spent my youth and a couple of goes on arcade football. Couple of hours all told. Can go back again free anytime in the year ahead but my son said "seen it once"

My wife and I went to National Football Museum recently while in Manchester. Football is national sport of England and this museum does not do its justice. There was multiple open spaces where they could have more displays. The displays they did have were quite nice. So much potential to have great museum and they have some work to do.
