Kay Thompson
We visited for the first time yesterday and had a great experience. Although we were a little time pressed we managed to visit every exhibit. We thoroughly enjoyed a brief game of subuteo and doing all the little quest style games such as guessing the nicknames of the teams. My son (13) enjoyed the more hands on task such as the penalty shootout and we had a family competition on shot stopper. Those games went down a storm. We will be back hopefully this year

Paid a visited with me family. I myself am not really into football, so didn't feel really interested. I'd appreciate the architecture and the design of the building more, especially the intriguing inclined elevator, which should be the only one around Greater Manchester. Still worth a visit although me experience could get better if the staffer at reception was friendlier.

This is a museum dedicated to football. Although it is called a museum, in actual fact, it consists of a lot of interactive and interesting games. Citizen of Manchester no need to pay for entrance fees. Others like us need to pay £14 per person. After queuing up for 5 minutes and paying for the ticket, we would go inside immediately. After we walked from ground level to level 1 and level 2 through stairs to see interesting pops, thrn only we realised there is a 45-degree lift to take us from level to level. The most crowded game was the penalty shoot out. Queue time mire than 20 minutes. It challenged the accuracy and speeds of the ball we hit. Winner are offered interesting prizes. No wonder so many people can spend whole day here

It's definitely a must visit if you're a football fan. It's a huge building with exhibitions on a few floors. You can read a lot about football history, see interesting items, and play different football related games. There is a cafe on the ground floor and a room for events. It's a great venue for team events. I actually visited for a company organised event and everything was perfectly organised. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
