Well worth a visit!

Excellent exhibits with plenty of skills practice for our budding footballer.
Helpful knowledgable staff.
Many of the exhibits will be of more interest to older people rather than children but still a great way to pass an afternoon.
Glad we visited, but unlikely to return

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.
Nice mix of exhibits, kept the kids entertained for a couple of hours

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
