Katie VennerFebruary 22, 2015Good museum! Interactive for children. Free entry. A lot of information and interesting for people who are not football mad too!
Bruno LopesSeptember 3, 2014A lot of great and interesting exhibitions that cover go from the very start of football, all the way to present day. The match ball from the first World Cup Final was definitely my favourite!
Michael HoldsworthDecember 31, 2017Enjoyed it, but compared to how it was laid out when it was in Preston it seems a bit haphazard. The trophy collection is very impressive, however. Still plenty to see and do.
Jefe C.Q.June 23, 2015Great way to spend a couple hours, even if you're not a die-hard fan. My son had extra fun with some of the football drills / exercises.
Brian F KirkhamNovember 19, 2013Once a Museum to Urban Life - Now a museum to the popular sport (or religion) of football - has some great exhibitions....no matter who you worship
Ay LedrisiNovember 19, 2018It's got all The Accomplishments of Teams From all Over The World in addition to that the museum has a free admission.
Carl GriffinNovember 24, 2015Excellent selection of historical pieces. Love the old football shirts.

Kenneth LeungMarch 14, 2013Very good museum. The exhibit descriptions were not very lengthy, which was good. You have to pay extra for some features.
Darren TurnerJuly 31, 2012Great place to visit if your a football fan. Penalty shoot out is bit pricey for kids at £5 for 3 kicks
Shaun DonnellyDecember 26, 2012A great building with a very interesting lift (really!). Shame it's no longer Urbis though!

- Gianluca NocentMarch 26, 2015The history of football in one place, for FREE! How can you miss it? :)
Phat BuoyOctober 8, 2014Building should've remained at its spiritual home in Preston. Terrible idea to stick in a city centre and waste Urbis on this. Disgrace.
Pablo ScoglioApril 1, 2016Un museo normal. Tiene un poco de todo. No me resultó muy entretenido. Puede ser bueno si vas con chicos porque hay algunas actividades divertidas para ellos (pagas).
Selim YılmazMarch 15, 2022Fotoğraflar, videolar, formalar, aktiviteler… Futbolu seviyorsanız sevmemeniz için bi sebep yok.
