What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors generally enjoy the Museu Brasileiro do Futebol for its engaging exhibits on Brazilian football history and the exciting Mineirão Stadium tour, especially the interactive goal-scoring experience for kids. However, some reviews mention that the museum could benefit from better maintenance and more accurate English translations.
"Needs maintenance, Pacaembu's Museum in São Paulo it's similar but nicer."
Andy Sánchez
"We enjoyed a pleasant little tour of the Mineirão football stadium, with friendly guides. Children of all ages got to score a goal in the warm up room, and it was fun to see the stadium from the player's bench. The museum itself was interesting to see, and a good opportunity to learn about Brazilian football history in general, and specifically the football history of the city of Belo Horizonte. The information was written in Portuguese and English, however, they could have put just a little more effort into getting the translations correct."

"So many colors, so many things to see and buy. There is food too, you can have a hot meal."
