Alan Amper
April 2025Very 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.

May 2025The 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!

May 2025It was cute ,not more than that. I ima8we will atheist see thrilling video of the most epic moments in English football, it's a bit old fashion. With today's technology they can do much more.also not eve thing worked...

July 2025Worth it ONLY if you’re going with kids, but definitely not worth the cost if you’re an adult. Most of the museum is filled with interactive displays and “play” activities meant for children. There’s some cool memorabilia but not worth the hefty cost of entry.
