Liverpool & Everton Football Tours

In Liverpool, football is more than a game—it is the city’s heartbeat. Whether you are a die-hard fan or just curious about the local culture, touring the stadiums of Liverpool FC and Everton FC offers a behind-the-scenes look at two of the world’s most famous sporting institutions.

Liverpool FC: The Anfield Experience

Located in the Anfield area of Liverpool, this tour is a high-energy experience perfect for the whole family. It is a self-guided journey using a multimedia handset, which is great for parents because you can move at your own pace—if the kids get restless in the press room, you can head straight to the tunnel.

• What You’ll See: You get to walk through the Home and Away Dressing Rooms, participate in a mock press conference in the Press Room, and—the highlight for most—touch the famous “This Is Anfield” sign before walking down the tunnel to the sound of a roaring crowd.
• The LFC Story Museum: Every tour ticket includes entry here. It houses the club’s massive trophy collection, including the European Cups.
• For Kids & Teens: Younger children will love the interactive headsets and the “crowd noise” in the tunnel. Teenagers usually find the dressing rooms and the sheer scale of the new Main Stand impressive.
• Time Commitment: Most people spend about 90 minutes on the tour itself, plus another 30 to 60 minutes in the museum and the massive club store.
• Good to Know:
  • Supervision: Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
  • Restrictions: The Anfield Abseil (a separate activity where you drop down the side of the stadium) is for those aged 10 and over, with a minimum height of 1.2 metres.
  • Nearby: Stanley Park sits right next to Anfield and is a lovely spot for a walk. For food, the Boot Room Sports Cafe is right on-site, or you can grab a classic match-day pie from Homebaked Anfield just across the road.

Everton FC: The New Waterfront Era

Everton has recently made a historic move to their brand-new home, the Hill Dickinson Stadium, located at Bramley-Moore Dock. While the “Grand Old Lady” (Goodison Park) is where the history was made, the new ground is a architectural marvel on the banks of the River Mersey.

• The Experience: The tour of the new stadium focuses on the cutting-edge technology and the incredible design that incorporates the old dock wall. You’ll see the Home Changing Room, designed with input from the players, and the South Stand, which is the steepest in the country and designed to be a “wall of sound.”
• Who Is It For?: This is a fantastic trip for adults and teens who appreciate modern architecture and “the future” of football. For younger kids, the sheer “newness” and the dockside location are exciting, though it feels a bit more like a sleek event space than the traditional Goodison Park.
• Time Commitment: Expect to spend around 90 minutes exploring the new facilities.
• Good to Know:
  • Supervision: Children under 14 need to be with an adult.
  • Accessibility: Unlike the old Goodison Park which had steep wooden stairs, this new facility is fully accessible for all visitors.
  • Nearby: The stadium is closer to the city centre. You are a short walk from the Ten Streets area, which is full of trendy warehouses, independent cafes, and bars like Blackstock Market.

Planning Your Visit

• Discounts: Both clubs generally offer reduced rates for seniors (65+), students with a valid ID, and juniors (typically under 16). Children under 4 or 5 usually get in for free. Blue Light Card holders can often find discounts, but these usually need to be checked or applied at the time of booking.
• Parking:
  • At Anfield, you can use the Stanley Park car park on non-match days. It’s usually easy to find a spot.
  • At the New Everton Stadium, parking is available at Nelson Dock or nearby city-centre multi-storeys like Princes Dock, followed by a short walk along the waterfront.
• Annual Memberships: If you live locally and have kids who are obsessed with the sport, a junior membership often includes a free or discounted tour, making it worth the cost.
• Is it worth it?: Even if you aren’t a football fan, the Anfield tour is widely considered one of the best stadium experiences in the world for its atmosphere. The new Everton ground is a “must-see” simply for the view of the Mersey and the impressive engineering.
