Sport does not stop at the final siren. Walk the players' race at the MCG, stand in the SCG dressing rooms, or climb Adelaide Oval's roof as the sun goes down. This range covers stadium tours across three states, plus F1-style driving days for the fan who'd rather be behind the wheel than in the stands. Some of it makes a good gift. Some is worth booking for yourself.
Three stadiums, three states: the MCG in Melbourne, the SCG in Sydney and Adelaide Oval on the coast, all with tours that get you onto the ground itself. There's an F1-style driving day for the fan who wants speed instead of a scoreboard, and a sports museum stop for the one who already knows every score.
The MCG Tour and Australian Sports Museum Combo pairs the ground with the museum next door in one visit. For something longer, the Guided Walking Sports Tour in Melbourne spends half a day moving between the MCG and Rod Laver Arena, with a local guide's stories on AFL, cricket and tennis. The Melbourne Sports Tour goes wider still: Flemington Racecourse, a drive through the old Commonwealth Games athletes' village, then the MCG and the museum, with lunch and a drink included. Inside the Australian Sports Museum on its own, life-sized holograms sit you next to some of the names on the honour boards. For a bigger day out, the MCG Anzac Day package puts two people in reserved seats for the AFL's Anzac clash, with a VIP pre-match function and two nights in central Melbourne.
Sydney's version runs off the field. The Behind the Scenes Tour of Sydney Cricket Ground is a 90-minute walk through the SCG and its museum, past the dressing rooms and into a case holding Don Bradman's 1948 baggy green and Steve Waugh's lucky red hanky. Twenty minutes west at Eastern Creek, the F1 Style Race Car Driving Experience puts you behind the wheel of a Formula Ford for 10 laps with no rev limiter. A professional driver walks you through it first, then hands over a helmet, race suit and boots before you get in.
On the coast, the Adelaide Oval Roof Climb takes you across the stadium's purpose-built walkways as the sun goes down, with headset commentary running the whole way and views out to the Adelaide Hills. It runs for two hours, guide-led, with all safety gear and a locker included. A daytime climb covers the same route earlier in the day, for those who'd rather skip the sunset.
A ticket to a match is a nice thought. A tour that gets someone actually onto the ground, or behind the wheel with no rev limiter, is the one they bring up at every family dinner afterwards. Pick the venue tour for the fan who already owns every jersey, or the F1-style drive for the one who has never sat this close to the redline. Not sure which one lands? A RedBalloon gift voucher lets them choose the stadium, the state or the speed themselves, and it works against anything in the sports fan range above.
Most MCG tours run as a guided walk through the ground itself, often paired with the Australian Sports Museum next door. The combo ticket covering both is a popular choice with sports fans. Longer options add Rod Laver Arena and a local guide's stories on AFL, cricket and tennis, running for half a day rather than an hour or two.
The MCG Tour and Australian Sports Museum Combo cover ground access and the museum in one visit. The half-day walking tour that adds Rod Laver Arena goes further, with a guide's stories on AFL, cricket and tennis along the way. The wider tour with Flemington Racecourse and lunch included adds a drive past Flemington Racecourse and a sit-down lunch. Match-day packages go further again, with reserved seats and a pre-match function thrown in.
The SCG behind-the-scenes walk runs for 90 minutes, taking in the field, the dressing rooms and the SCG Museum, including the case holding Don Bradman's baggy green and Steve Waugh's lucky red hanky. It's a walking tour, so comfortable shoes make more sense than anything you'd wear to the game itself.
A standard day tour moves between several attractions in a few hours, with the operator setting the pace. An MCG tour is narrower and more hands-on: you're inside one stadium, seeing rooms the public otherwise can't reach. If you'd rather cover more ground in a day, a broader day tour fits better. If match-day history is the point, stick with the ground itself.
There's a maximum weight of 136kg and a minimum height requirement of 120cm. Climbers aged 75 and over need a medical clearance, and those less than 20 weeks pregnant may be able to join with one too. Check the exact conditions when you book, since they can change.
Yes, especially for someone who already has everything else. The two-night Anzac Day match package includes reserved seating for the AFL's Anzac Day clash, a VIP pre-match function with a meal, and two nights in central Melbourne for two people. It suits a couple or two mates rather than a solo booking.
No experience is required. A professional driver gives you instruction before you get in the car, and the session opens with a full safety briefing. You do need to be over 16 with a minimum height of 155cm to fit the harness properly.
If the F1-style drive was the highlight, F1-style driving and car enthusiast experiences go further into speed and horsepower. For more guided access to famous places, days out and tours cover ground beyond the two stadiums here. A fan who follows bands as hard as teams might prefer the music fan range instead, and a work group chasing a shared story could look at team building activities.
