Irish FA Tours

This was a dream come true for all my family. Terry the Tour Guide made us both laugh and listen on what felt like a personalised guided tour. I guess I am a fan to begin with, but I was really looking forward to all the hidden secrets of a building I visit on match day. I am happy to report that it was a thrill from beginning to end.
The Stadium is very different from the crowded stress of larger venues and this made such a difference for the families with smaller children.
My wife doesn’t use lifts and they guided her through the stadium without hesitation and without having to be asked.
Our family member from Philadelphia was delighted to visit pitch side and had to be dragged away from the interactive features and the penalty shootout against Pat Jennings! The visit to the dressing room actually made me speechless for a while, knowing our heroes gather in this place. Of course, a Cookstown boy had to have his photograph taken in Stuart Dallas’ seat!
This is a great day for young and “older” alike and is an absolute must for soccer fans and their families.
The next time I attend a game, I will remember the thrill of walking out onto the hallowed turf to the sound of the Green and White Army #GAWA

Great experience for any football fan. Very informative guide (Neill, I think), lead the tour through the exhibition area down to the dressing room and then going pitch side, ending up in the press area. A must visit for #GAWA. Interactive areas too, take a penalty against the virtual Big Pat and measure your tackling skills against a virtual opponent. Highly recommended.
Just a pity the merchandise store wasn’t open. No café on site but there is one next door at the Olympia Leisure centre.

Took the stadium tour today and have to say what a great experience it was.

Terrific value for money, it lasted a full 2 hours and brought back some fantastic memories of past matches at this historic and iconic stadium.

Lester, our tour guide, made it very informal and informative. It truly was a dream come true to be able to walk in the footsteps of such famous players.

All in all highly recommended.

We did a tour on 14/12/22, the tour guide was incredibly friendly. He was clearly very passionate about the football and attends himself, which was really nice to see on the tour as you wouldn’t always get that elsewhere. It was also really interesting to hear from him as he has been going to the stadium to watch NI for years.

I think we paid £8.50 each online and the tour was 1-3pm which was great. We got a couple of things at the end too such as a big book on NI football to read and take away with us, which was lovely.

Inside there’s an amazing modern football museum which has loads to read, listen to and watch. It also has lots of photo opportunities and games (such as taking penalties).
We’ve done a lot of football tours over the years in different countries and cities, this is probably the smallest stadium we’ve toured, but it had the best tour! Thank you Irish FA!

Small mixed group (16) knowledgeable guide and good interaction between group members sharing experiences of matches long past. The stadium itself is modern and has well thought out displays of memorabilia plus things to do for the younger ones. And the older ones who still think they can kick a football!

Great way to spend 2 hours in Belfast. Did the tour with my two young kids 4 & 7, they lived every minute of it.

Lots of fascinating facts about the team through the ages and interactive activities for the kids on the way round…including a chance to score a penalty against the legendary Pat Jennings.

Big Whitey greeted us at the gate and along with his two knowledgeable accomplices they provided a full bells and whistles of behind the scenes at the famous Windsor Park.

Cheers fellas Cathcart’s had a ball!

What a great wee hidden gem. Had a fantastic time with myself and my teenage son. Ken the tour guide was fantastic, knowledgeable and kept the audience captivated with story’s of past and present. Highly recommended

Took this tour with Micheal as our guide. He is a mine of information on the stadium and it’s history as well as local football and the IFA. Very approachable and obviously enjoys what he does. Engages well with everyone and does make the tour as much fun as history. The tour is well beyond what I expected covering all areas of the stadium and behind the scenes, like changing rooms, media centre etc . A lot of thought and effort has gone into this and it’s well worth 2 hours of your time. My only negative is the lack is signage showing how to get into the tour however Micheal did say this was being sorted.

Went on a tour of stadium today. Lots of interesting facts and pictures of northern ireland football team past and present
Great museum and then tour of stadium. Guides very knowledgeable and friendly. They took an interest in the people taking the tour and pointed out things of interest to individuals
Would recommend to locals and tourists.

Gary Thompson our tour guide was both funny & very informative. We shared so many memories of past players, grounds, fans not just Northern Ireland but football in general. A ground tour, a history tour, an interactive tour, we had it all. A great place to visit. Highly recommend.
