The Manchester
City Experience Museum was recently recognised for its fantastic
contribution to tourism in Manchester when it was 'Highly Commended'
in the "small visitor attraction of the year" category
at the Manchester Tourism Awards 2004. Manchester Evening News
described it as "...the best show in town".
This is
the second major accolade to date for the Museum as the "Experience"
was shortlisted for an Award For Excellence at the Museums
& Heritage Awards - the only sporting attraction ever
to be shortlisted.
The Manchester
City Experience - Museum & Stadium Tour combines the rich
sporting history of Manchester City Football Club with a 75
minute tour of the awe inspiring City of Manchester Stadium.
The Tour
includes the Box Level, the Corporate Lounge, the Directors'
Box, Dressing Room, the Walk of Pride / Players' Tunnel, Warm-up
room, Press facilities, the Pitch Side and Dugouts.
The Experience
begins at the club museum which encapsulates its 125 year history
and the fanaticism that it has inspired.
You can
try your hand at being the next John Motson by commentating
on glorious goals from City's past, relive the greatest moments
on the Video Jukebox, or simply spend your time examining some
of the club's extensive memorabilia.
Or, if you
prefer, simply soak up the atmosphere with your behind-the-scenes
tour of the City of Manchester Stadium.
Your guide
will give you an insight into the day-to-day activities of the
club, allowing you to glimpse what really goes on! Walk in the
footsteps of your favourite players down by the pitch or admire
the grandeur of the building from one of the executive lounges.
