If your a 49er fan this is a must. All the history and memorable moments are on display. The movie at the beginning is absolutely incredible and a must if you visit. Even if you aren't a loyal 49er fan it is still really cool to see all the super bowl trophies and rings for each championship on display. Every team in every sport should have their own HOF to showcase their players and founders for fans to attend. Afterwards we visited the 49ers team store and loaded up on Niners gear. Love this place. read more

What's not to love if your a 49er fan. I go back to the Joe Montana era and this brought back many memories. The real life player statues are the highlight, to stand next to them and imagine the collisions on the field Ronnie Lott inflicted on the opposing players is just outstanding. Staff are super friendly providing some historical or friendly conversation. Parking could use better maps on the internet and street signage. We loved the picture opportunities inside the helmet. This is a must see for any 49er fan. read more

There is a very rude elder Woman who takes the Money in the Front screaming and yelling $49 dollars in a rude unnecessary fashion and was cursing out a Guard for preventing Thefts? Maybe she should consider Helping seeing how the Museum has more employees than Visitors! Exactly why it shouldn't be $49 dollars overpriced and Definitely too many Employees! Removing her would increase the Likelihood of More Visitors‼ Can We get a Suggestion Box Please ASAP or Reduce the price back to $20 dollars . FYI: The more Employees Loitering in the Front is a Sign of a overpriced Venue & 13 employees only to have 3 visitors‼ They Have to Create a better Atmosphere and Environment or Reinvent the Museum! The most dull & boring aspect of the Stadium read more

This is a great museum documenting and honoring the 49ers, past and present, the many achievements of the players and organization over time. It has a lot of nice touches... life size statues of great players, Coach Bill Walsh's office recreated, displays of great moments (trophies and rings, first Super Bowl championship in 1981, Jerry Rice's 206 touchdown footballs hanging from the ceiling), and cool stuff like authentic Candlestick seats, Colin Kaepernick's time capsule, old ticket sales signs ($2 general admission) and colorful Kezar posters. There are several interactive exhibits too, such as touchdown dance, and jumping, running, and football catch (with a motion sensing application). I like the design of the museum overall, going from room to room, each area offered something new and different. And though the museum is not huge, it's definitely worth the $15 they charge for a self-guided tour, and worth checking out even if you're not a huge Niner fan. Museum hours are different on game day. I attended the Niners vs Raiders pre-season game last Sunday at 1pm. The museum hours were 10-1pm, for game attendees. Was pretty empty and no line around 11:30am, but it definitely got more crowded as it got closer to 1:00 (game time). The entrance to the museum is on Tasman Street, near Levi's seating sections 101/201/301. Parking is almost impossible on game days... meaning even if you pay for parking, there will be loads of traffic getting in and out of the area. read more

My dad grew up going to 49ers games at Kezar Stadium so I guess you could say that I've been born and raised a Niners fan. So what could be a better birthday present than a visit to the museum of a team that we have spent so much time bonding over? We went on a Sunday after the season, as we didn't want to encounter the crowds. It was a good choice, as we definitely didn't feel rushed or crowded. Admission is $15, but it's worth it, as the Niners do a good job of capturing their rich history and tradition and the museum is pretty large for being in a stadium. Statues for their hall of fame, interactive exhibits that kids and elders will enjoy, a great collection of memorabilia spanning all of their years, and a great display of the Super Bowl rings, friendly docents who give you good insights on what you're looking at... We definitely enjoyed our visit and this is a must for any football fan! read more

You'd expect nothing less than first class from a first class organization like the 49ers! The life-size statues have such incredible detail and the technology used for the videos and displays are what you'd expect in the heart of Silicon Valley. The docents are all incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly, too - not to mention in the 49er Team Store! We spent three hours and took it all in, including a viewing inside the stadium. Limited parking right outside the museum. General Admission is $15. read more

49ers Museum - Museums Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Came during our pit stop visit to San Jose. As hubby and I are die hard '9er fans, this was a must visit! We went on a Sunday while the team played away, which I would suggest is the best time to come. We entered and were greeted by a pleasant lady, who asked first if we were active/retired military (you get a discount). Regular price was $15 for adults. Next, another host joined us for the first leg of the tour and was very knowledgeable in all things 49ers.(FYI: picture taking is allowed, but no flash photos or videotaping permitted. Also no food or drink either). Before entering the exhibit, we walked past a giant screen and it projected a hologram of Sourdough Sam ('9ers mascot), a '9er's player(it was Patrick Willis!) or a Gold Rush cheerleader as if they were right beside you! Next we entered the Hall of Fame room, which included life-size statues of some of the most well-respected 49ers in franchise history. Fun fact: the statues had real clothing on them which made for a truly realistic look. They even had a statue of Dwight Clark suspended in the air at the exact measurements when he made his iconic catch! We then entered the theater for a 20 minute film on the history of the '9ers, which was narrated by past and future '9ers players and staff. The museum had a host of interactive exhibits on all things '9ers from the franchise's inception to present day. Historic relics were displayed throughout. Suspended above one were 206 footballs to note the number of touchdowns Jerry Rice completed during his time as a '9er! There was a display of the five Super Bowl trophies and rings too! There was also a makeshift turf field where you could get your throwing game on! After exiting the exhibit, you arrived at the team store stocked with everything 49ers in addition to a Levi's store display that had various 49ers/Levi's inspired apparel. All in all a great visit and a definite must for all of the 49er Faithful! read more

I have been a 49ers fan since I was a child. I cherished the wins with Montana, Young, Garcia, and Kaepernick, while enduring the losses with Rattay, Dorsey, Smith, and Hill. So, my dad, uncle, and I were excited to tour the museum. The introductory film provides a nice history of the team's ups and downs. I like that the memorabilia incorporates 49ers players with American history and society. I also appreciated the variety of pieces in the museum, which span beyond just footballs and jerseys. There is an interactive section, which is especially engaging for children. However, the film fails to highlight Kaepernick. Although the film notes our appearance in Super Bowl XLVII reinvigorated the franchise, it does not even mention Kaepernick's name, the breakout star of the season. The film also avoids any close-up shots of Kaepernick. The museum, additionally, only includes one photo of Kaepernick. The franchise's success during Kaepernick's tenure in San Francisco is what led to the existence of Levi Stadium and the 49ers Museum. The San Francisco Bay Area prides itself on diversity and inclusivity, the principles Kaepernick protested for. Therefore, to relegate Kaepernick to background shots in the film and to only one photo in the museum, is just wrong. read more

I must confess that I'm not much of a football fan generally, but my friend is a 49er fan born and bred, so I came here for a visit to make him happy. Despite my disinclination, once we were here I found myself enjoying all the interactive activates and the bronze states on display in the museum's lower level. You can learn cheer movements, and even kick a football on the field! My friend the 49er fan was completely mesmerized! He said that he found the entire museum really impressive, and he thought all the information on the team's history was fascinating :-) We both found the display of Super Bowl rings (which is in the museum's exit, right before you enter the gift shop) very impressive. read more

This was a nice museum. We visited on game day and it was only open to attendees. It was somewhat crowded but we easily moved around the venue. Staff even alerted you on when the movie started so you could make the movie. My husband is the fan. I enjoyed it even not being a fan. It is a good place to visit. Staff was friendly and easily approachable, ready to help take photos or just chat about some of the displays. Bathrooms were clean too. Downside is they only accepted cards, no cash. Cost was 10.00 cheaper than we budgeted for as well! read more

49ers Museum was included in my Levi's Stadium Tour so not sure the separate price, but together it was $30. Wanted to watch the movie they had on the 49ers, first time had technical difficulties so was told had to leave and not sit in the dark room, 2nd time it played for a while, then died near the end. So sad, was ok to see. Life-size replicas of some of the important 49ers were there. Bill Walsh, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, etc. That was ok to see. Lots of little things here and there, lots of reading and some videos to watch. Bill Walsh's Office, Superbowl Trophys, Superbowl Rings. Some pic taking you can get emailed to yourself. Some people really enjoyed that. I think it's just meh, but I'm not a huge fan of the 49ers. read more

I have pretty much been a 49er fan my whole life and I never knew a museum for them existed until recently. The museum is located at Levi's Stadium and is very well done. There is a lot of history, facts, and memorabilia starting from the early days to present day. It is very thorough and well presented. The first part of the museum involves wax figures of all the big players, coaches, and staff in 49er history. These include Joe Montana, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, and Bill Walsh, just to name a few. This is the part where you can take a bunch of pictures and selfies. The next few rooms involve the history of the team, including their five Superbowl wins, the Superbowl rings, old tickets, jerseys, and lots of other interesting historical memorabilia. Lastly, there is an interactive section of the museum where you can try on the helmet & uniform and test your skills at jumping, throwing, cheering, and dancing. There is also a massive 49ers helmet you can take pictures at for souvenir photos. The museum ends in the Team Store, so make sure you go and pick up some 49er merch afterwards! The museum costs $15 to get in and I think it is well worth the money. read more

I want to start by thanking the Walker Team and Jerry for arranging our visit to the 49er Museum. I admit it I'm a long time Niner fan that goes back to Kesar Stadium though I never made it there, my first game was at the Stick. You enter into a large lobby that has a huge TV screen that shows all of us waiting and a lot of the 49er players pop in and out saying and doing some fun things. Of course when the cheer leaders came up some of the guys pretended like they were hugging them...I know it sounds bad but it was kind of funny. You enter into the theater to watch a short video which was pretty cool and well worth seeing prior to going through the museum exhibits. The first section has life sized models of some of the famous players and plays. Of course " The Catch " Other greats such as Joe Montana with Bill Walsh and of course Jerry Rice just to name a few. You can literally spend hours in the museum. Many of the exhibits are interactive. You can see some videos, touch screens to display history and some of the Niner magic moments. The section with the Super Bowl Rings is incredible, I had no idea how HUGE the rings are! Check out the pictures of the footballs next to the rings,,,WOW. Also be sure to look up through part of the exhibit as the entire ceiling consists of hanging footballs. There are so many fun things to see that you could literally spend hours here. So many games and players throughout Niner history are highlighted. There are old uniforms, banners and gear of every kind is on display. Be sure to check out the prices of the games and refreshments. $3.75 for Reserved Seats at Kesar, but that was a lot back then. And yes of course you exit through the 49er store so be sure to pick up some 49er merchandise on the way out! read more

49ers Museum was just amazing and such an awesome experience. Being a 49ers fan practically since birth I've been wanting to visit since it opened and once I saw the Groupon I felt that was the perfect opportunity to go. I made sure to go in with an open mind and low expectations but I will tell you this museum totally exceeded my expectations from beginning to end. When you first walk in there are a few items to look at in the "lobby" area and then there's the popular hologram in front of the elevators, I didn't really get a chance to check that out too much because the movie was about to start and I wanted to catch that. But what I did see of the hologram was cool, it felt like the player was standing right next to me. Then you walk into the theater for the movie and I loved that it was like a mini Imax theater with some nice plush seating. The movie was about 20 minutes more or less and it was very informative and entertaining, this was probably my favorite part of the museum. Some parts were a bit emotional, I know I cried a couple times (don't judge me lol). Once the movie is over you walk into a section of the museum with a bunch of cool statues of the players, I also liked this portion because you were able to see both and older and newer players and take pictures with them. I did like that some of the staff members were around to give you a little bit of history and answer any questions you may have had about the statue portion of the museum. There were also some cool interactive photos where you could take your pictures, have them placed on certain player's bodies and them email them to yourself. There were also several interactive screens throughout the museum that gave you information from different important times throughout the 49ers career. They seemed to have really paid homage to Bill Walsh in the entire museum because his presence was felt and seen all the way through and they even had a nice replica of his office. Once of my other favorite parts of the museum was like a timeline or walk down memory lane, it showed the evolution of the uniforms and the team, highlighted important moments, of course the key players jerseys, cleats and gloves were also on display. The lower level is a very interactive and hands on portion, you are able to put on the uniforms and helmets. They have a field area where you can learn cheers from the Gold Rush Cheerleaders, throw the football, record a broadcaster video and so on. I just had the best time here and learned a lot, it's great to see the evolution of one of my favorite teams and see how they came from very humble beginnings to being one of the best in the NFL at one time. This is a must if you're a 49er fan, I guarantee you will love it and have a great time. read more

For all 49er fans, the 49ers Museum is very well done. Growing up as a Niner fan, I was really impressed seeing all the exhibits and memorabilia from their rich history all right in front of me. Here are some of the museum highlights for me. First off, right when you walk in you'll see a projection of yourself with a hologram of a current player greeting you. I snapped a pic when Navorro Bowman came up. -- http://bit.ly/1XZixgp The very first room you'll encounter is the 49ers Hall Of Fame Room with statues of past 49er greats: Jerry Rice and Steve Young -- http://bit.ly/1Rcs1Ra Joe Montana and Bill Walsh -- http://bit.ly/1IXwTBA Dwight Clark with "The Catch" -- http://bit.ly/1mcOPDx Next there's a recreation of Bill Walsh's office -- http://bit.ly/1IXx6ou Then after that is the Heritage and Memorabilia Room: All of Jerry Rice's touchdown balls hanging above. -- http://bit.ly/1RGMDAj Joe Montana's rookie contract -- http://bit.ly/1HWKONy Gold Rush Cheerleader Uniform History -- http://bit.ly/1SQmUDY And the last room you walk through shows all 5 of the 49ers Super Bowl Vince Lombardi Trophies and Rings -- http://bit.ly/1OkcVmu There's also movie theater which plays a movie showcasing the history of the 49ers and an interactive exhibit room where kids can play around. The overall museum experience was great. I liked everything I saw and learned a lot of new things about the team history even though I've grown up learning about them my whole life. If you're a 49ers fan or a hardcore football fan in general, the 49ers Museum is worth checking out. read more

PERSPECTIVE FROM AN ART HISTORY MAJOR As someone who studied art history I enjoy going to art museums. However there are very few art museums that show the progress of an art movement from the beginning and through its evolution. From my experience there are only two museums I visited that show the progress of art: the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, that displays early and middle works of Renaissance paintings, and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, that exhibits most of Vincent Van Gogh's works from beginning to the end. Not only am I art historian scholar (yeah right), but also I'm a 49ers fan. I visited the museum last Sunday after the 49ers' win again the Giants. There weren't a lot of people that day so I was able to see a lot without feeling claustrophobic. As you first enter the museum you can go to the theater to watch a short film about the history of the 49ers. After watching the short film you enter the Eddie DeBartolo Jr. Hall of Fame to see the statues of influential figures of the 49ers. Most current 49ers fans think the history of the 49ers begin with the Super Bowl wins. In the Hall of Fame there people who have had a hand shaping the 49ers' identity such as the Morabito brothers, Vic and Tony, who founded the 49ers. Other figures include the Million Dollar Backfield of the 1950s that have all 4 members in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. As most 49ers fans I grew up idolizing players from the Super Bowl era. When I saw statues of Bill Walsh, Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, and Jerry Rice they reminded me of their glory Super Bowl years and are considered by most historians as the greatest in their position. (Deion Sanders is considered the greatest cornerback of all time, but only played with the 49ers for 1 year and that's why statue isn't in this Hall of Fame). After passing through the Eddie DeBartolo Hall of Fame the next feature is the reenactment of Bill Walsh's office. It has a wood paneling reminiscent of buildings in the 1980s. There is a bookcase that shows his personal achievements in football. One of those achievements was a high school football that shows a record of 8-1. Bill Walsh's first head coaching experience was at Washington High School in Fremont. He coached for three years before accepting an assistant coach position under Marv Levy at the University of California at Berkeley. (Wow two future NFL Hall of Famers as head coaches working together.) That 8-1 record is from 1958 when the Washington High Huskies were league champions. He coached one more year at Washington High but didn't fare as well because some of his players had to go to another high school. To alleviate the growing overpopulation at Washington High School half of those students were enrolled in a new high school in Union City, James Logan High School, which opened in 1959. This is pretty in-depth information about Washington High School and James Logan High School correct? The reason I know this story is I also graduated from James Logan High School and our football rival is Washington High School. That is why I can relate to that artifact. The heart of the museum is Heritage Hall. This area links the history of the early years of the 49ers up to the current state by displaying artifacts that represent the whole history of the 49ers. One of the most informative tools is the touch screen monitor. These monitors are like an electronic timeline of the 49ers. I thought I knew a lot about the 49ers but I found out I really didn't know that much. I had a hunch why the 49ers name was chosen as a mascot. However I didn't know how the 49ers got their colors. I'll give you a clue it had to do with university in a city. What is it? You need to go to the museum to find out. I spent most of my time at Heritage Hall about close to two hours. There is so much history in this hall. I spent so much at Heritage Hall that I forgot to look at other areas of the museum before it closed. There's the By the Numbers Gallery that reveals the significant numbers in 49ers' history. Besides the number 16 on his jersey, what is the number 16 significant to Joe Montana? You have you to go to the museum to find that out. There's also an interactive area where you can throw the football to test your accuracy, run 40 yard dash speed, and test your vertical jump. My highest vertical leap was 32". I concede that jump will not make an NFL team but for a short Filipino like me I was excited I could jump that high. LOL. Of course you can't leave the museum without seeing the 5 Super Bowl trophies and 5 Super Bowl rings. Had I not spend too much time at Heritage Hall I would look at the trophies a lot longer. Next to each trophy is the Super Bowl ring that corresponds to the trophy. If you visit the museum just to see the Super Bowl trophies and rings it is worth a visit. As an art historian and 49ers fan you'll enjoy this museum to see the how history of the 49ers has evolved. read more

Wow, this is a must do experience for any 49ers football fan. The 49ers put in the extra effort to make sure that this is a memorable experience! First, the ~20 minute film that kicks off the museum experience is very well done. The theatre is super high-tech and it felt like the production of the film was Hollywood quality. My 12 year old son said that watching the film gave him a rush of adrenaline. I must admit as a lifelong 49er fan, watching "The Catch" on the gigantic HD screen brought back all of the excitement from when I first watched it live as a 9-year old boy! Next is the statue gallery of 49er greats in life-size form. All the greats are here from YA Tittle to Joe Montana to Steve Young. There are many interactive exhibits, memorabilia cases and interactive games. If you are visiting the museum on a non-game day; check out the $10 Valet parking next to the box office. The 49ers team store will validate parking with purchase. Levi Stadium is a great addition to the Silicon Valley, make sure to stop in and see the museum if you are in the area. read more

A must visit for all football fans. The Niners did a great job displaying their history with so many artifacts and hands on exhibits for both the die-hards and the young ones. There's also an exhibit that displays a history of football throughout the Bay Area. If you're an avid Niners or just an avid football fan and want the full experience, come during a non gameday. It won't be as busy and you won't feel so rushed to want to see everything. read more

I am not one of those that the 49ers screwed the fan base over by leaving San Francisco. The city was never came up with a plan and Santa Clara was the only Northern California city that was an option. However, until (if) the 49ers ever win a Super Bowl in their new stadium, all the glorious history of our favorite NFL franchise will be in San Francisco. And the museum does an excellent job of displaying the success (and failures i.e. the helmet redesign of 1990) of our team. The exhibit begins with a short film that chronicles the early years from Kezar Stadium to "The Catch". From there you enter the exhibit hall that houses hundreds of pieces of 49er history which culminates to the trophy room where you five shiny Lombardi Trophies rest behind glass all awaiting the arrival of a sixth. The exhibit changes often, so making return visits are worth your while. read more

Awesome museum and presentation....you have to pay to get into the museum but it's worth it. Going through the entrance, make sure to look up on the screen as you might see Kapernick or a cheerleader next to you! Haha There is a history showing that has select times so make sure to check the times before going here. The theater is small and probably fits 100 people max. There is a lot of touch screen TV's about each major players or coaches involved with the niners. Very education to me, at least! You get to see the super bowl trophies! read more

When you have a rich history as the 49ers do you know the museum will be full of incredible things. I was amazed with the detail that went into this place! When coming in you are first taken in to watch a video that pretty much tells you how good the Niners history has been. Once watching it we head to their hall of game. It's an amazing room with life sized statues of each hall of famer. You can't help but get goose bumps just being in the room. The museum also includes numerous artifacts from their early years to the present. They of course have their 5 super bowl trophies on display. Some of their other priceless artifacts are Bill Walsh's office with his typewriter and a personal message given to him by Joe Montana. They have a time line with artifacts that support the date. The pictures I include on this review will pretty much show how incredible this place is. BRAVO!!! read more

Fantastic museum! Amy was our tour guide and she was very thorough and funny, telling us factoids that interested the diehards fans, plus enough funny facts to engage the plus ones on the tour. While we were waiting in the lobby for the 18-minute movie, we have a lot of fun with the big screen facing the elevators (too much fun!). The screen is an interactive screen, so it showed my family on the screen like most security cameras, except this screen had a twist and would superimpose holograms into the screen, so you could "take a picture" with the mascot, cheerleaders, Kaepernick, Willis, and a whole bunch of other players, I just loved it! The first room we visited, were statues that took over 300 hours to create and were about $80,000 each. Each statue was beautifully handcrafted, the attention to detail was just amazing! We then walked past a wall, where every player that was ever on the team, if even just for a game, was projected for a few seconds onto a big wall, and the names kept changing. There was also an interactive computer where you could superimpose your face into an action shot. We then walked through a bunch of memorabilia, all of the jerseys, footballs hanging from the ceiling dedicated to Jerry Rice's records, old seats, programs, etc.... The last stop had a bunch of numbers, and each number represented something big in 49er history, with the last number being 5, the number of superbowl trophy's. Behind the 5 was the 5 superbowl trophy's and the accompany rings, just beautiful. There was an interactive stop that you could detour to, where you had the ability to try on uniforms, do a combine, cheerleader routine, kick a football, etc. Very cool museum, I highly recommend, and I would definitely come back because I didn't have time to see everything. I wish the SF Giants would build a similar type museum, because this is very cool for the fan experience. read more

Fun relatively inexpensive activity. Good for indoor activity weather days. I'm not a football or 49er fan but was cool to see some Bay Area sports history. Lots of really friendly and helpful staff, except for that one woman. She told me that taking of videos was not allowed, which is fine but the policy is not obviously stated or displayed. And her adding that I'd need to delete it from my phone.....uhhhh GTFOH. I didn't catch her name, but she's most likely THAT one on their team that is known to be the grouchy one. Anyway, we were near the end of our time there, so at least most of our time there was enjoyable. read more

If those in charge of the museum see these reviews I really hope they know what they have just by having Bill work there. read more

I visited on 4/26/19 as a chaperone for my brothers field trip, and the tour guide had instructed my class that we may have free roam through the statue section, however the manager I'm assuming (short lady with long black hair) came up to us and said in a rude voice to stay in one corner, while pressing against the children. There was a lot of miscommunication throughout the museum portion, I had left the group under the pretense that we had free roam and I went to go purchase some souvenirs but when I came back to the group the manager shouted "Look here she went Shopping she went Shopping oh my god Shopping", I apologized to the tour guide but not to the manager due to the fact that her attitude was atrocious. Such a shame the museum is beautiful. read more

Great museum for all Niners fans! For the price, the amount of memorabilia for the Bay Area's first home-grown professional sports team is great! Cool artifacts, history, and interactive areas to play with. Despite taking 700+ photos, I wish I had more than 4 hours to read and play with everything! The only downside was not seeing memorabilia dedicated to the Harbaugh/Kaepernick years, after learning there USED to be some. I don't even remember seeing any during the film before the exhibit. Shame. read more

The niners stadium is great to go with your family. But it is very expansive to go with your whole family. It would be great if it was less expensive. It has really nice things to see. The games you can play are fun. Also I did not like that they said we were going to be able to see players but we did not see any players. The staff was really nice.

Awesome pieces of 49ers history at the 49ERS MUSEUM. I went on a non-gameday which was brilliant. No lines and got right in and out. It was $15 to enter. You are lead to a movie theatre where you are treated to a 18-minute movie about the history of the franchise. After the movie concludes you enter the statue room and begin your self tour from there. The statues are perfect, and the other pieces of memorabilia are very cool. The replica of Bill Walsh's office got my Niners chub going. And seeing all five trophies and rings was a real treat. The end of the tour drops you right into the 49ers Team Store. I enjoyed my visit. 5 stars! read more

Visited the Museum and got this in Groupon. Admission was $7.50 per person. We spent a good 1 hour and a half going through the museum since it was during our lunch break. You first get to watch a 18 minute movie of the 49er's. They go through the catch and other 49er heroics, but they forget the catch 2 and Steve Young's scramble. Pretty much if you are looking for Terrell Owens forgot it. There is no Jim Harbaugh as well. They have good statues very detailed and can take a picture with. They have good history as well. I am not so sure how much the on site person tours cost of the stadium. The price is not worth it for $15.00 a person, but worth it for $7.50 unfortunately, the price of admission is not listed. read more

Visited a few weeks back when traveling though town. There is a sister tour of Levi Stadium and a restaurant that is open to general public. Admission price varies on the day of the week. One can periodically find other specials or group with stadium tour to save money. Entrance is sometimes limited due to level of traffic. Museum can take up a good half day or longer. Lots of 49er history and football memorabilia. One that doesn't know much of football history or becoming fans this is a great place. Lots of exhibits and memorabilia. Some desk depictions. Former player history. Past coaches and executives. Some wax player depictions. Museum is a nice collection of past present and future. Good: plenty to do, lots of history. Bad: can get busy you can miss out on the stadium tour deal. I am a fan of the team. I would visit again because occasionally past players make appearances. read more

It sure is nice to have a Bay Area team with soooo much history and fortune. It's too bad they moved away. At least they made this space. It's one of the nicest spaces in the entire stadium. The exhibit is worth the entry fee and pays homage to everyone. Or almost everyone. This whole thing with Harbaugh is weird. He is clearly missing from the space. There's like one little mention of the guy who made the last several years amazing for the fans. Maybe not the staff, players or management but for us the fans he was an important cheerleader for our team. The hallway with the footballs has the same amount of balls that Jerry Rice caught in his career. They saved the spot where the catch was made. The statues of the players are incredible. The most amazing site is the trophies and the movies that accompany them. It's a huge success for the Bay having a place like this. Don't forget to exit through the largest gift shop I've ever seen. read more

Love it! A must to see for all Niners Faithful & football fans who appreciate history. It was a wonderful experience. Well done. It brought me back to different erss & gave me goosebumps watching old winning videos. The statues are great. The whole thing was fantastic & beautifully designed. it made me even more proud to be a Niner fan. read more

I'm a huge Niner fan that decided to go see the museum yesterday while in the area. It is perhaps the greatest collection of 49er relics and memorabilia in existence. While others have gone into details about all the exhibits, the main reason I wanted to write this review was to point out the reason why I knocked off a star: Jim Harbaugh. It's almost as if his tenure as head coach was erased from the 49er history books. Out of the whole museum, there were only two mentions of him, and one other appearance. First, he is listed in the Bill Walsh coaching tree interactive exhibit. Second, there are a few videos of him in the 2011-present section in the history exhibit. However, these videos still have him listed as head coach, so who knows if and when they update the exhibit they will be removed. They even removed the model of his gameday uniform, though a tour guide said they may bring it back in the future. I'm skeptical, though. Finally, in the history video you watch to begin the tour, they show the shot of him hugging Vernon Davis after the playoff game against the Saints. His name isn't even mentioned. If the 49ers ownership hadn't completely burned every bridge with Harbaugh and actually, you know, acknowledged he existed, this review would have been five stars easily. read more

This is a must see/experience for all 49er fans... Its rich w/ history and I was in awe... The 4k theater, memorabilia, interactive displays, the field goal & quarterback simulator, be a broadcaster, Lombardi trophies and the Superbowl rings display and the list goes on... I bought the tickets through groupon, great deal... This museum can be overly crowded and I recommend to go on a weekday and before the NFL season starts. I did this, and there was about 25 other people... U don't feel the pressure of being rushed when your looking, interacting & reading displays... read more

49ers Museum - Museums Near Me - Santa Clara, California

We visited Levi Museum as part of a school field trip / so we were able to see some of the 49ers museum (the hall of fame statues, film and Lombardi trophies) but not all of it. As a football fan (not 49ers) I wish we could have seen more of that part .... But / the school learning part was awesome. They have created different learning experiences (with finding from Denise DeBartolo foundation, intel, chevron) they are exceptional and focus on STEM. (Kids engineered a stadium, learned about gravity and motion and thrust as it relates to football playing, etc.) The teachers in engineering etc areas were awesome, Coach Matt was exceptional and PERFECT personality and approach for elementary kids. Some of the guides while capable seemed not to enjoy kids much and it showed (kids noticed too) - but all in all a really great place for a fun but educational field trip. The gentleman who creates this program spoke to the kids at the end of the visit and gave them such a positive and uplifting message. It is fantastic that Levi Stadium and the 49ers support this. Would love to return to spend more time just looking through museum. Make sure you see the Hall of Fame room - and Dwight Clark's catch will take your breath away. read more

I have no interest in football, but we were in town and my husband likes football....so, we tried it. It was decent. My only complaint was the view of the stadium. You get like 20 minutes in a little gated box (with a docent and a bouncer type dude), while the docent talks and talks and talks. But no time for pictures? Like give us 5 minutes to take some pics and read the little plaque facts before you hustle us back down the escalator. That part was a disappointment. The movie was quite good, and even though I know nothing about football, it was still interesting to watch. Some of the artifacts were neat and I liked looking at some of the stuff. We are from WI and Lambeau tour was way better. read more
