Tours

An MCG Tour takes in a walk on the famous arena turf.

As the super stage of Australian sport, the Melbourne Cricket Ground is an unforgettable experience.

Traditionally the MCG has provided the live drama to thrill millions worldwide… memorable events such as the Olympic Games, Test cricket and Australian football’s incomparable Grand Final on the last Saturday in September.

But backstage, the MCG Tour gives the visitor the opportunity to relive their great sporting memories through a comprehensive tour of this marvellous stadium, where so many champions of yesterday and today have performed.

A fully accredited sports heritage complex and tourism destination, the MCG also houses the new National Sports Museum.

The National Sports Museum is home to the Olympic Museum, Sport Australia Hall of Fame, Australian Cricket Hall of Fame along with much more, including the Melbourne Cricket Club Museum – a stunning display of the rich history of one of Australia’s oldest sporting clubs and of the stadium it manages.

See all this and more on a visit to the MCG - visitors can choose between an MCG Tour, a visit to the National Sports Museum, or both!

MCG Tours, which take approximately one hour and includes a tour guide, depart regularly from Gate 3 on all non-event days from 10am-3pm (except Christmas Day and Good Friday). Bookings are not essential.Back to top
