pele museum

Old building renovated cleverly to produce a light and open museum, spread over 4 floors accessible by steps or slopes.The museum proved to be really interesting for both a football fan and my wife, a non football fan. Pele's history is well explained from childhood to current day. We were able to get a good understanding of how important he is to the football loving people of Brazil and how his achievements are unlikely t be bettered. To see many of his medals, awards and other pieces from his past was a privilege. There is also an interactive area to add more amusement and to get pictures and souvenirs.We were glad to have visited the museum, having taken a short and inexpensive taxi from the cruise port (and much cheaper than a cruise excursion). The taxi also meant we could arrive before cruise tours and therefore had the museum, initially, almost to ourselves.

I'm not a huge football fan but visited this brand new museum nevertheless. Located in the old city hall, across from the restored rail station, it's a gorgeous museum. One wing explains Pele's life and achievements, the other wing is "interactive" and you'll be challenged to beat Pele's scoring, dribbling and running feats. There is a coffee shop and Pele store in the central atrium. All very nicely done and brand new for now (opened in June 2014). Plan one hour to 90 min for a visit. The tourist tram (bonde) stops right in front of the museum.

First of all - pack a cardigan. The aircon in there is up far too high. But that's the only negative. It's small but packed. They have Pele's entire footballing history there, in almost every format. You can take your time and find out all about him, interesting facts and quotes. There is lots about each World Cup he has participated in and they also have an interactive hall.

We made a special trip to santos for this, and we were not disappointed. Feels like some of the interactive features need some work but to spend 3-4 hours reading up on Pele's life was amazing experience.

If you are visiting Santos, it is probably since you know that Pele was raised and brought up in this area. This museum is still new, and as such one can benefit from appreciating a brand new museum which not many visitors have yet attended. Highly informative and recommended for all ages alike.

Modern, great setup. On the right you have the interesting part about the life of Pele with photos films and personal belongings. Everything in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Excellent! In the left building there is an interactive part great for kids to loose their energy, cinema and large photos and artwork section of Pele. Between the 2 buildings a gift shop and a coffee shop which is not yet open. Bathrooms are clean, wow !!You need a min of 2 hours to see it all but it's well worth it.

Worth a visit, lots to see. The interactive zone wasn't fully functional when we visited and it is a little sycophantic in terms of how worshipped Pele is, but what do you expect in the Museu Pele!??!!

This place was awesome. They have multiple floors of Pele/Brazilian soccer history. I received admission as student, which was 9 Reals (about $4 USD). It was well worth the trip. There is an interactive area as well which was awesome. The shop is overpriced, but that's expected. Buy your memorabilia elsewhere, but definitely come here for the experience.

The Pele museum is fairly interesting and a decent enough way to pass an hour or two on a rainy afternoon in Santos. At 36 reis I found it expensive for what it was, especially as the football museum in São Paulo was 5reis each and much more extensive.

Fizemos uma visita no centro historico de Santos e encontramos o Museu Pelé. Se não fosse pelo preço, um pouco alto, tudo seria perfeito. O predio antigo reformado para abrigar toda historia do Pelé é muito bonito e muito bem projetado. Valeu muito a pena a visita. Recomendo.

Museu moderno num prédio restaurado e de muita história. Tem algumas atrações interativas, mas nada demais. O pior está no conteúdo que é um pouco pobre. Esparava mais material sobre futebol, história do rei Pelé e na parte interativa poderiam explorar melhor os recursos, como ter sonorização e video em alguns ambientes de momentos mágicos do melhor jogador da história.

Tramvaydan , Valongo istasyon durağında indiğimizde gözümüze bu müze çarptı. Giriş ücreti biraz pahalı olsa da girilip görülesi bir yer. Girin ve tadını çıkartın. Bir tane de Pele forması alın. İçeride her şey var. Multivizyon gösterisi ile o maçları da yaşıyorsunuz. Güzeldi

Museu bem montado e bastante moderno. Com boa localização e ingressos a R$ 18,00 por pessoa, descreve toda trajetória do rei do futebol.

Quem é apaixonado por futebol vai adorar. Há vários objetos (inclusive do acervo pessoal de Pelé), fotos (algumas conhecidas e outras não), arquivos multimídia com depoimentos e imagens de arquivo... Tudo disposto de modo a narrar a trajetória do "rei" desde a infância, a vitoriosa passagem pelo Santos, atuações em copas do mundo e destaque como personalidade mundial. Há muita interatividade: quiz, "chute como o Pelé" etc. Também há um setor educativo e atividades para as crianças. A loja tem produtos interessantes (mas os preços são meio salgados).Vale a pena uma visita ao setor expositivo que trata do processo de restauração do prédio onde hoje está situado o museu. Trabalho incrível!

A mi no me interesa el futbol, pero a pesar de ellos pasé un rato agradable curioseando por allí. Un visita de 1 hora es suficiente. Dentro hay wifi gratis, lo que agradecí bastante, y una cafetería. También hay tienda pero todo muy caro.
