Liverpool FC Museum and Tour
Liverpool FC is one of the most successful football clubs in England. The club offers tours of its Anfield stadium, giving visitors and exclusive insight into what happens behind the scenes.
Each tour includes a visit to the dressing rooms, press room (originally the ‘boot room’), post-match interview area, dugouts, and the Kop. The highlight of the tour for most visitors is the chance to walk down the players’ tunnel and touch the famous ‘This is Anfield’ sign. The guides are humorous and knowledgeable, and there are plenty of opportunities to take photographs throughout the tour.
The club also offers LFC Legends Tours, essentially the same tour but guided by a famous ex-Liverpool player. Guides include John Aldridge, Ian Callaghan, Jimmy Case, David Fairclough, David Johnson, Alan Kennedy, Jan Molby, and Phil Neal.
Exhibits in the museum include tributes to famous managers and players such as Bill Shankly, Joe Fagan, Kenny Dalglish, Billy Liddell, and Roger Hunt. It also features the European Cup, retained by Liverpool after their fifth victory in 2005.
Tours run on the hour, 7 days a week throughout the year, from 10 am to 3 pm. At peak times tours may run more frequently and into the early evening. There are no tours on match days.
The museum is open every day of the week from 9.30 am to 5 pm with last admission at 4 pm. On match days the museum closes 30 minutes before kick-off.
The complete visitor experience at Anfield combines a visit to the museum and the stadium tour. It’s possible to visit just the museum at a cheaper price but most opt for the full package.
Adult tickets for the museum only currently cost £6 while combined museum and tour tickets cost £15. The corresponding prices for children (under 16)/students/pensioners are £4 and £9. Family tickets are also available. LFC Legends Tours cost £35 for adults and £18 for concessions. Visitors opting for the full package can explore the museum at their own pace, before or after the stadium tour.
