Special visit to the MCG Stadium Brilliant experience at the MCG Sports Museum today. Our guide, John, was ideal for this tour. He explained the range of activities at the MCG stadium and answered our questions in an entertaining manner. We were impressed with the scale of operations needed to prepare the stadium for all the sporting & other events which take place here. A very special visit for me, I would recommend it to any sports fan.read moreread less

Interactive Displays We visited the museum after an MCG tour. The museum has a great array of memorabilia including Cathy Freeman’s speed suit and the Olympic cauldron from the 1956 games. The Shane Warne exhibit also had a great array of artifacts for those cricket tragics. My 12 year old enjoyed the interactive displays too.read moreread less

Visited as part of the MCG Stadium Tour, which includes entry into the Australian Sports Museum at the end. The main part of the tour is with a group of roughly 20 people and an experienced guide. John was our tour leader and he was extremely engaging, funny and very knowledgeable in the history of the ground, Australian sports and wider cricket.
The tour allows you to experience various vantage points of the stadium (eg from pitchside to one of the highest stands and the best private boxes). You also get to walk through the home and away dressing rooms and John painted a picture of what would go on during matchday.
Overall, I would highly recommend the MCG tour and allocating yourself 15-30 minutes after to walk through the various exhibits in the sports museum. The live tour is the best part.

Well worth a visit when you're in Melbourne A great experience for any sports fan. The tour of the MCG is worth the little bit extra it costs. Tickets are well priced. Staff were knowledgeable and helpful about the history of the ground. Visit the Warne: Treasures of a Legend exhibit before it finishes on August 9th. The items on display really make you feel connected to the great man himself.read moreread less

One special Tour one of the best organized and entertaining tours we have ever completed.the amazing cricketing tour conducted by Shane Warne.
we were quite impressed that when we were seated the "holograph" of Shane walked onto the stage and went through his career sent shivers down my spine.
it was a most enjoyable and unbelievable time of our trip to Melbourne

Must visit for all cricket fans Brilliant experience seeing the MCG from the top and the Long Room in the members area which felt like a real privilege. We had a great guide - thank you Carol - she had so many facts & figures at her fingertips it made it so interesting. Loved all the history and that the Melbourne Cricket Club and the Marylebone Cricket Club share the same logo.
Highly recommend to any cricket fans, it was a terrific experience.
Also visited the Warne exhibit which was interesting and touching. His kids speak about various of his sporting achievements - my nephew's favourite was the dancing stump. So great to see the actual stump there!
Very well done by the MCG for one of their own.

Definitely worth it for the price paid. Situated inside the stadium, it boasts several levels of memorabilia spread over different sections dedicated to different sports. These including Australian rules football, tennis, cricket etc.
Most highlighted is the special cricket section, where you can enter a 3D projected Shane Warne experience, where the late, famous cricketer comes out and gives a talk about his career with the Australian cricket team.
There are also lots of interactive areas where you can try out catching, pedalling and other sports. This especially great for children. You are also given a wristband that allows you to interact with many of the displays in the museum.
Overall a very enjoyable visit. I would allow for about 1 hour for a visit. This will allow you to easily see everything in the museum and fully enjoy it.

Great experience and a location if you are in to sports and history of Australian sports landscape. There's a lot of exhibits donated by sports persons and detailed depictions of historical events.
There's also an activity area for kids to play around in. Have to be mindful that this location attracts a lot of school excursions so be prepared to share the space with students. Usually they move fast so if you're not in a hurry, it should be ok. Overall great experience for kids and highly recommend!

The MCG is truly an amazing place and well worth booking the tour. Unfortunately our tour guide lady was really poor. Spent ages showing us around the basement garage pointing at closed doors telling us that's where the press area is, talking about recycling Taylor Swift's waste water and bigging up her personal anecdotes like meeting Kapil Dev in about 1982... so much so, that when we finally got to the really interesting stuff around the library and all the historic cricket memorabilia, she'd run out of time and raced us through way too fast. Talking before the group was assembled, vague with detail, poor overall. Not great. The Museum downstairs is really excellent. Superb interactive stuff and amazing 10 minute Shane Warne hologram.

Visited Melbourne last month and had to visit the MCG and Museum for my sports mad partner. I’m not hugely into sport but really enjoyed this tour. We had a great guide who had good banter and knowledge. The MCG is amazing… can imagine the atmosphere on game day. Seeing behind the scenes and how big the stadium actually is was very interesting.
We only had a quick look through the museum but a lot of history there.. would definitely recommend, even to those not into sport etc.

I have been here on a school tour, and also as a member of the public. Both tours were interesting and slightly different. It was great to see the areas of the ground the public wouldn't normally see. The museum is full of amazing artefacts and information from all sports, including: cricket, AFL, Olympics, Commonwealth Games, as well as concerts like Robbie Williams.
I would recommend everyone go if they ever get the chance. I might even go again myself.

Museum & MCG Tour are Awesome - allocate plenty of time We started with a coffee then onto the MCG tour. 90 minutes of behind the scenes stories, anecdotes & pure history. Our guide, John, like all guides is a volunteer member of the Melbourne Cricket Club. He was very knowledgeable and witty. Our day was 34 degrees so guides were excused from jackets, only wearing ties.
Then a free ice cream for the kids and down into the (air conditioned) museum. It is a great collecting of memorabilia, film, photos and sound.
There’s lots of fun interactive stuff for the kids of all ages.
Volunteer guides know their stuff and have stories you’d never hear anywhere else.
We spent 3 hours on both but could easily have spent hours more.
The museum is very accessible for any mobility level with lifts, ramps etc .
The MCG tour is suitable for likitwd endurance etc with gentle slopes, elevators and escalators. There are some gentle stairs, but I’m sure they are avoidable.
