National Football Museum Manchester

[PoptartPoptart]

Thinking of taking 13yo football mad DS in the holidays.
Thing is, as much as he loves football, there is only so much walking around and looking at stuff he will tolerate!
The website seems to suggest there are interactive things to do too, virtual beat the goalie screens, etc.
Has anyone been? Would you recommend?

I've been with my 12 and 10 year olds. There's a couple of interactive things - penalty shoot out being the firm favourite. The interactive things are very popular, and you have to pay to do them, but entry to the museum is free. It held my sons attention for an hour or so. There's lots of things to listen to etc. We went as part of a trip to Manchester, not sure we would go just for this, but we do live 100 miles away! I also enjoyed it, which was a bonus. I would recommend it if you are in the area.
