Went to the museum in Thursday and had a great day. The Scots guy, Alex, was so knowledgeable and funny. Will be coming back with my nephew, hopefully Alex will be there again.

If you’re a big fan of football, you will find this fascinating. There are loads of great facts and history of the world of football. Certain players get a special mention, and certain events get a mention. Great bits of memorabilia, interesting videos.
Everything is well spaced out, it’s clean and tidy and staff are on hand more than happy to answer questions.
There isn’t a lot for young children. While it’s brilliant to read the descriptions of things on show, it doesn’t always grab their attention. There is a level where you can take penalties (expect a wait for this) and practice different skills, but sadly you have to pay extra for all this, and while it isn’t overly expensive, it does add up. Personally, I think it would work better if you had a band or card on entry and staff mark to say you’ve had a turn and it’s all in with the entry price. The penalty shoot out was a half hour queue, and other bits where you can test your reactions on the ball or jump to see if you could get your fingertips to the top was ruled by kids not taking their turn, as no staff managed this and the kids have just had to go through levels of facts that probably didn’t grab their attention.
The top floor was dedicated to Football Annuals…. While interesting, I’m not sure it needed a whole level. Overall, to a football nut, it’s brilliant, I just don’t think suitable for young kids.

Fantastic experience not to be missed. Lots to see and all very well displayed. Went with my son but ended up enjoying myself also

We visited during half term with our 11 year old who is football mad.
They had a table with craft activities, but certainly aimed at the younger children. There were football related games for children to get involved in, which is particularly enjoyed. My son felt that it was predominantly aimed at adults or very young children. Maybe too much history involved for his liking.
Although great to see that our home town team got a mention there.
The giftshop and café at the end was a little disappointing.
You get to return during the next 12 months but this wasn't something we would do again in 12 months due to not living near Manchester. Not sure we would hurry back.
Bonus was that I used my Blue Light card to get discount on the entry price too.

Figured this would be a good place to kill some time with the kids (15 and 11), and was proven correct. The exhibits weren’t “too much history” to lose their attention, and have actually led to us looking at things like football tragedies and hooliganism following our visit - thought provoking for them. Obviously the play floor had most of the time allocated to it!
Nice bonus, kids from NYO were playing in the foyer, partly to advertise their evening concert, but as musicians ourselves, was lovely to see a mixing of arts
I was surprised by the small focus on the future of the game, or more specifically the current trend for console games and trading cards (which is all my 11 yr old talks about). However it was nice that the focus was very much not on the big Manchester clubs, their success over the last 20 years could have led to that.
Some of the boards need updating. And the price surprised me for a national museum, clearly not getting enough funding from government…
Great afternoon though
