Families

NFM Families table football

Bringing your family to the National Football Museum? Whether you’re a young hotshot or experienced football veteran, there’s something for everyone across our four floors.

Throughout the museum, there are interactive objects, games and displays that will appeal to all ages.  You can explore our objects and stories via our gallery trails: collect them at the Welcome Wing, or you can download some of our trails here before your visit. 

Some of our interactive activities are still available including Penalty Shootout. To get the most out of these we suggest they’re suitable for children 7+. Our friendly Visitor Experience team are always on hand to answer your questions and show you how to get the most out of your visit.

If you’re planning a visit and are aged under sixteen you must bring an adult with you and family groups must stay together – this keeps everyone happy and safe!


Incredible stories and objects

Explore the history of the beautiful game through the world’s finest collection of football objects. From incredible FA Cup silverware to the FA’s replica of the Jules Rimet, right up to the present day, our displays tell the remarkable story of the game of our lives.
