Review | Manchester United Museum & Stadium Tour! How Good is it?

Categories England , Manchester , U.K

Manchester United and Old Trafford are one of the most famous teams and stadiums in the world, so it’s pretty cool that you can really easily book and go on an Old Trafford Stadium Tour and visit the Manchester United Museum.

In fact, doing a tour of Manchester United stadium is probably even easier than you think, they literally have time slots available all day when matches are not on and the tickets are not that expensive either.

I went recently with my stepsons who are 6 & 8 and we had a great time! I realised I couldn’t move to Manchester and not visit the legendary Manchester United Stadium and even as a non-supporter (although I left feeling like a supporter), I had goosebumps throughout because of all that we saw on the Man Utd Stadium Tour.

So let me tell you how to book a Manchester United stadium tour, the Old Trafford tour price, what to expect from a Man Utd tour and answer the question ‘is a Manchester United Tour good?’

What does the Manchester United Tour Ticket include?

The ticket gives access to the Manchester United Museum which you can visit in your own time, and it gives you a 70-minute tour of the stadium with a guide .

Souvenir wise, you are given a branded lanyard when you show your tickets where the ticket goes inside, this can be taken home with you and therefore acts as a bit of a free souvenir .

What To Expect from an Old Trafford Stadium Tour

When you book your ticket online you’ll get an email confirmation to say you must get there 30 minutes before the start time , this is something to keep in mind when planning your Manchester day out!

The reason you are asked to get there early is mainly so you have time to visit the museum before the tour starts and the time you book the tour for is the time your group guided tour starts.

If you don’t get there just on time, then you can do the guided tour and visit the museum at the end.

Manchester United Stadium Tour Parking

The only car park at Old Trafford Stadium open on non-match days is East Car Park E2 ( google maps location here ) so you have to head here. When I visited it the entrance was manned, the super friendly guys told me where to park and there are plenty of disabled access spaces.

The car park is at the front of the stadium and where the Megastore is located.

To get to the museum and where the guided Manchester United tour starts you follow the path around to the right, following the arrow signs to the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand Entrance .

Here you’ll get a security scan, queue up inside, show your online ticket and be given a paper ticket and lanyard.

Then you go upstairs towards the Man Utd Museum and by Red Cafe at Old Trafford which is a great place to go back to after the tour has finished.

Manchester United Museum

In order to get to where the Manchester Stadium tour starts you have to go through the museum. This is why you’ll get email confirmation telling you to get to the stadium 30 minutes before your ticket time because the time on your ticket is the literal time your guided tour starts you need to be at the end of the museum and meet your guide.

As we entered the museum we could choose to get a photo with a green screen background which could then be purchased at the end.

This was pretty cool as at the end of the tour in the Megastore you can see the photo and pick the different backgrounds , there was a sunset stadium background, normal stadium background and you could choose which player was next to you, of course, we had to get a photo with Ronaldo printed!

Walking through the museum doesn’t take long but if you don’t have time or want to spend more time looking, you can return at the end of the tour as there are no time restrictions on access to Old Trafford Museum.

The museum is really interesting though and you should give yourself at least 20 minutes to look around.

Manchester United Stadium Tour

Tours start every 10-15 minutes and staff will be calling your ticket time so make sure you listen out and head to the end of the museum which is downstairs. Then go to the counter and collect a multimedia device for each person which had a lanyard to go around our necks.

This is used at various points on the tour to watch a video or read more about where you are, this is especially good for visitors who do not understand English well and can’t understand what the guide is saying as the multimedia device can be set in multiple languages. Or those hard at hearing who can’t hear the guide.

Our group was pretty big at about 20 people but it never felt too big.

Our guide introduced himself to start off the 70-minute tour and told us a bit about what to expect from the tour and the multimedia devices. We had 2 guides , one who stayed at the front and did all of the explaining and another who stayed at the back to ensure we all stayed together, both were available to chat to as we walked around the stadium from place to place.

To start the tour off properly we went up into the stadium , this is where the multimedia devices were really cool and this was probably their best use. Of course, the stadium was empty but with the devices, it showed what it looks like busy and it followed the stadium as we moved the device around to different parts of the stadium.

We went back inside and to be honest, we did spend a fair amount of time inside the stadium walking under the seats to get to another part of the stadium. Definitely keep this in mind if you have small children with you who don’t like walking much.

We had some good photo opportunities and the first one started as we were in the corner of the stadium where the disabled seating is, this spot gives a really great corner view of the stadium and there is plenty of space to spread out and get photos with no one in the background.

We went back inside again and walked for a while and this is when we got to probably the best bit of the tour – the changing rooms !

It was really cool to be in a part of the stadium where usually only the players go and seeing all of the shirts in the changing rooms was definitely a highlight.

We had plenty of time in here to take photos and everyone was really good at queuing for the seats, of course, Ronaldo was a popular one, and let each other take photos. It was busy in the room with all of us in but not too bad.

We walked out the way the players would to the tunnel . This was the most interactive part of the tour because the guide got all the kids to line up in 2 lines and the parents/adults to start on the side and then we clapped them out onto the edge of the pitch.

Some of the kids on my tour were really big football fans and they loved this.

At the end of the tunnel, we got to start right by the pitch in the corner which was the corner between the West Stand and Sir Bobby Charlton Stand and again take some photos, these photos were better because we had the grass right behind us.

Then, we walked up the side of the pitch to the dugout , we were allowed to sit on the manager’s seats which was also a very cool and unique opportunity.

I also loved seeing the pitch front on from this level and got some great photos.

Down the side of the dugout, we walked to the media and press room , again this was another cool opportunity and we could sit at the media table and have photos taken, except this photo had to be done by somewhere working there and the photo had to be purchased .

This was the only part of the tour where we were restricted from taking a photo which I think is fair and it’s really good there were no other photo restrictions on the Old Trafford stadium tour.

After this, we headed back inside and the tour ended outside the Megastore which is also the gift shop and where you can purchase the photo that was taken on arrival to the museum.

Red Cafe at Old Trafford

After we finished the tour we headed back round to the Sir Alex Ferguson stand and went to the Red Cafe at Old Trafford.

There are 2 parts to this , there’s a cafe as you walk in selling drinks and some snack food like cakes and crisps and then there is a sit-down restaurant . This was quite busy when we got there at lunchtime in the school holidays but it’s definitely a cool way to end a memorable visit to Manchester United Stadium!

Overall thoughts and review

I honestly really loved it, even as someone who hasn’t been into football for years I got chills and goosebumps just seeing and hearing how big this club is. I loved the museum for seeing the names of older players and the guide told us a lot about past players too, and then my stepsons loved it for seeing the names of the current players.

We started the tour at the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand and went all the way around to the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand so we did see a lot including the changing rooms, tunnel, dugout and media room.

My brother who is a big football fan told me he was so jealous of me going on the Manchester United stadium tour and it made me think that many people might not realise just how easy and accessible it really is to do which is why I wanted to write this post and tell you because it’s not hard to book at all and there is a lot of availability.

The only downside I’d say is that of course, you can’t go on the pitch, which might be disappointing for some and also that there is a lot of walking between corridors and through the areas under the seats so that’s just something to keep in mind if you have difficulty walking or have young children.

I hope this review and recap has helped you decide what to expect from a Manchester United Stadium Tour, and that you should book tickets for an Old Trafford tour here!

Tour New Jersey's new Charles J. Muth Museum of Hinchliffe Stadium

Charles J. Muth Museum of Hinchliffe Stadium opens in Paterson; here's a first look inside

PATERSON, N.J. -- A new museum in Paterson is now open with the goal of chronicling the history of Hinchliffe Stadium .

Dr. Joseph Fulmore Sr., a long-time Paterson educator, joined CBS New York's Nick Caloway for a first look at the new Charles J. Muth Museum of Hinchliffe Stadium.

"When I was principal of Public School No. 6, Larry Doby came to visit me and spoke to the kids," Fulmore said.

The museum is perched between Paterson's Great Falls and Hinchliffe, one of only two surviving Negro League ballparks.

The stadium was recently restored, ready for the future .

The museum is here to teach everyone -- especially Paterson's youth -- about Hinchliffe's rich history.

"Whatever their color is, there's something beyond that, inside of them, that they can achieve," Fulmore said.

Montclair State University opened the museum , thanks to a $5 million donation by businessman Charles Muth. He's a Montclair State alumnus and grew up in Paterson, just a few blocks from the museum.

"It's very fortunate my career put me in a position to be able to do this. And I wanted to do something in a significant way to give back and repay the debt to this city that's done so much for me and my family," Muth said.

Officials at Montclair State hope to inspire Paterson's youth by inviting local public school kids to the museum.

Fulmore says the museum highlights far more than just sports. It's about civil rights.

"Now I can come and touch some of the individuals who, through sports, through the academics, were able to bring about changes and also to help people to begin to look through different lenses," he said.

The museum is open, but there's plenty of room to grow.

Curators at the museum are asking people from the area to check their closets and attic for old Hinchliffe Stadium memorabilia that they might want to donate.

Montclair State University Opens The Charles J. Muth Museum of Hinchliffe Stadium

New museum and learning center will chronicle history of Hinchliffe and serve as educational resource for Paterson and Montclair State University students

Posted in: Homepage News , Press Releases , University

Montclair State University officially opened The Charles J. Muth Museum of Hinchliffe Stadium, the latest highlight in the school’s growing partnership with the city of Paterson, at a special event on April 11.

Distinguished guests and elected officials were on hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new museum and learning center, which highlighted the transformational support of Montclair alumnus and Paterson native Chuck Muth ’77 and his wife, Laura.

Montclair President Jonathan Koppell, Chuck Muth, Paterson Mayor Andre Sayegh, Hinchliffe developer Baye Adofo-Wilson, Paterson Public Schools Superintendent Laurie W. Newell and Museum Director Jessica Bush provided remarks as part of the morning program, which also included a special performance by the Rosa L. Parks School of Fine and Performing Arts choir.

Muth’s $5 million gift will allow Montclair to serve as an educational partner for the museum, which will chronicle the history and legacy of Hinchliffe Stadium – one of two remaining Negro League baseball stadiums in the country and a cultural touchstone in the city.

“Chuck embodies everything that makes Montclair State University special, and the impact of he and Laura’s philanthropic support in ensuring generations of our students can also succeed cannot be overstated,” says Koppell. “This museum is a truly collaborative effort and strengthens our bond with one of the most vibrant and diverse communities in New Jersey. It will be a space that will not only allow members of the city to engage with educational programming, but that will also provide experiential learning opportunities for Montclair State University students. We are thrilled to officially launch this initiative and are grateful to Chuck and Laura for helping make it a reality.”

The gift furthers the Muth family’s continued support of Montclair State University. Growing up near Hinchliffe Stadium, Chuck graduated from Montclair in 1977 and has served on the advisory board of the University’s Feliciano School of Business since 2013. The Muth’s also have an endowed scholarship at Montclair that is named for Chuck’s parents, Charles and Madeline, that supports business students from Paterson.

“Growing up in Paterson and attending Montclair State University gave me the foundation I needed to achieve my dreams in business and in life, so to continue our support in this unique way is an incredible opportunity,” says Muth. “To know that this museum will help educate generations of students from the two places that have had the biggest impact on me means the world to us, and we cannot wait to see the community and Montclair students engaging with the history of Hinchliffe Stadium.”

It will also ensure future learning opportunities for both Paterson and Montclair State University students, which is a key component of various initiatives between the city and institution.

“Hinchliffe Stadium was constructed as ‘the city stadium’ with Paterson residents in mind,” says Museum Director Jessica Bush. “As a component of the Great Falls National Historical Park, our museum offers visitors the chance to discover the stadium’s profound national historical significance, and, alongside Paterson’s other cultural institutions, help to instill a sense of community pride and help to make this city a true travel destination.”

The museum is the latest achievement in the expanding relationship between Montclair and the City of Paterson.

One Square Mile , a place-based approach to community revitalization developed by Montclair President Koppell, was launched in Paterson in 2023 through support from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, with East Side High School serving as the first component of the multi-year initiative.

“Chuck is a source of inspiration for Paterson children who can look to him as an example of what is possible for them,” says Paterson Mayor Andre Sayegh. “Today, we celebrate the restoration of Hinchliffe Stadium, and of the opening of The Charles J. Muth Museum to help tell its incredible story.”
