About this place
Manchester United Museum & Stadium Tour offers families a chance to step behind the scenes at one of football's most iconic venues. The tour takes you through areas normally off-limits to visitors, including walking out onto the pitch through the player tunnel and exploring the dressing rooms. The museum houses an impressive collection of trophies, memorabilia and displays charting the club's rich history, making it engaging for both keen football fans and curious newcomers alike.
Most visits take around three to four hours in total, including the guided stadium tour (roughly 75 minutes), time in the museum, and a browse of the shop and café. The site is suitable for children from around age five upwards, though younger children may find the length of the tour tiring. Staff are generally praised for their knowledge and friendliness, and guided tours are preferred over audio guides as they add genuine insight into the experience.
The venue is well-organised with security checks in place, and it's wheelchair accessible throughout with accessible parking and facilities available. Allow extra time before your scheduled tour to complete security procedures and reach the tour starting point.
