Great experience. Moira was incredibly knowledgeable and we topped it off with lunch in the Committee Room by Grossi. Highly recommend both experiences.

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.

Takes a few hours to walk through but is worth the time. Food available in the cafe ‘Paddock’ to stop for lunch before or afterwards.

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.

The lady at the counter (Trudy) was such a delight! She helped us apply our discounts and chatted it up with us. Super welcoming environment. We went at a good time on the weekday (do note you might run into a hoard of school students though). Do check out their cafe too before you go in (The brownie and muffin was such a sweet tooth’s delight)

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.

We had a great time! Our tour was amazing. Our guide Ian was very knowledgeable and easy to hear. We got to see many cool places including the changing rooms, members pavilion and got to walk on the outer ring of the field. The sports museum was fun for all ages with heaps of interactive bits. Very impressive attraction and highly recommended for any sport lover visiting melbourne! Thank you.

Great experience visiting the MCG and the Australian sports museum. The tours are conducted very professionally and gives us a nice insight into one of the worlds greatest sports venues. My guide Graeme was a lovely elderly gentleman who showed us the best spots and allowed us ample time to take photos too. Highly recommended for sports lovers.

Fantastic place to visit with the kids. The interactive play space was so fun and engaging. We could have stayed all day. The food options were limited though, but what was available was sufficient for our needs.
Lovely staff everywhere, from when you first walk in and then throughout the whole museum. Thanks for making our experience that much better.

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.

Great Experience...
Unlike conventional museums this museum is different with interactive learnings and RFID scanners...
Loads of information and loads of knowledge, a heaven for sports enthusiast.
Recommending to each and every person visiting Melbourne.
The games which are presented are also very interesting

The sports museum is absolutely fantastic. All sports are covered from athletics to Rugby League and beyond. The cricket section is brilliant and there are also interactive displays are fun and educational at the same time… the guides at the Australian Sports Museum are brilliantly knowledgeable in every sport and it was an absolute pleasure to listen the stories of sports people past and present. I spoke to Barry who was well beyond knowledgeable, who filled my tea break with sporting knowledge.. it was a joy.. Do yourself a favour and go the Australian Sports Museum…

A amazing adventure of all sports and MCG information. Make sure you go into the MCG part as it is filled with amazing stuff I never knew, about our great stadium. And the elderly gentleman in there is absolutely fascinating to talk to. It's a totally must see.

A must go place. The tour is well worthwhile. My uncle enjoyed it very much, and so did the two 18 year olds. The guide was well-informed and presented well. Will go again when another friend comes over to spend time with us

There is - unsurprisingly - a gift shop on your way out. And it should be noted that if you just by a ticket to the museum you don't get any tour of the MCG - that's an extra.
In terms of location there is no reason why a moderately healthy person can't walk to/from the CBD to out here as it's mostly flat.

Awesome experience! I visited MCG lot of time to see matches. However, first time to take MCG tour. The tour guide was really good and knew so much about sports, we had great time. Tour went on over 75 mins and showed so many things in that time. If you are cricket fan it must see.

Private tour of the MCG including the Australian Sports Museum. What an experience! This is the top shelf tour offered at the MCG and it was worth every cent. We were shown around the inner sanctums of the MCG including the cricket club private rooms, player change rooms, media areas and were able to stand in the centre of the oval to take in the view. Other tours don’t have this access. Our tour guide Carol was a star performer. She’s a volunteer (like all guides) and really made the experience special.
The tour price includes entrance to the Australian Sports Museum. For cricket fans there’s a particularly great 11 minute life size hologram performance by Shane Warne talking about his life and career. The producers would’ve had no idea how quickly this would become so valuable.

Great mix of entertaining and informative exhibits. We loved the interactive voting, the touch screens and the sports games at the end. Acknowledging the MCC exhibit is targeted a bit older but it could really use a shot in the arm. The sports games based on touching the screens are lacking standards to make them fair (even if only competing against ourselves).

Today Russell and I did the Combination Tour of the MCG and Sports Museum.
Our guide Ian was just fantastic. So enthusiastic and so keen to impart his knowledge on a group of about 20. Everyone hung onto his every word and his stories.
This is a MUST DO for everybody who even flicks onto the TV during the summer cricket season.

Excellent family activity. Did the combined MCG tour and museum entry. Excellent value for money. Book online in advance to get your preferred MCG tour time. MCG Tour is 1hr duration and includes entry onto the ground, through the players rooms, long room etc. Very interesting and fast moving tour, kept the kids engaged throughout.
Australian Sports Museum is full of new interactive, fun games and challenges for all ages. So much information in a variety of formats. Spent 3hrs here. Highly recommended for all ages.
