Melbourne Morning Sports Tour with the MCG, Australian Open or Australian Sports Museum

Experience the Victorian capital’s magnificent obsession with sport on this Melbourne Morning Sports Tour. What’s more, you can tailor the tour to your specific sporting interests by choosing to visit the mighty MCG or the Australian Sports Museum. It’s a tough call!

On this tour you can opt for the convenience of CBD hotel pick-up or meet your ‘sports guru’ guide at Federation Square. Your first stop is Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne’s inner west. Home to the world-renowned Melbourne Cup — the ‘race that stops a nation’ — you’ll be able to see the grandstand, finish line/post and exclusive members’ pavilion.

Next you’ll enjoy a drive through the 2006 Commonwealth Games Athletes’ Village, and a quick (but not too quick!) lap around the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix street circuit in Albert Park. You’ll also pass by the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre.

The final stop on this Melbourne Morning Sports Tour is at your choice of venue. Choose one of the following options.

Australian Open Courts (not available from mid-December through to the end of January)

Tour behind-the-scenes at Rod Laver Arena and/or Margaret Court Arena (depending on availability) at famous Melbourne Park. You’ll see the Australian Open tennis tournament control centre and the change rooms used by the world’s top players. You’ll visit the superboxes and VIP hospitality areas, and step onto centre court (all subject to availability).

Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)

At the iconic MCG, you’ll be treated to a tour of restricted areas that most people don’t get to see. You’ll visit the player change rooms, players’ balcony, Bill Lawry Cricket Centre and the Long Room, and take a walk on the hallowed turf (all subject to availability).

Australian Sports Museum (not available until March 2020)

The Australian Sports Museum (located at the Melbourne Cricket Ground) is home to one of the country’s most extensive collections of sporting memorabilia and a fabulous range of interactive and multimedia experiences. Visit the Sport Australia Hall of Fame, see the Shane Warne hologram, relive Australia’s Olympic glory and so much more.

This Melbourne Morning Sports Tour ends with a cafe-style lunch with your group of fellow sports fans at Marvel Stadium.
