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.
**THEMED TOURS**
Our new themed tours run every Wednesday at noon or larger groups may choose to book them at a time that suits them by calling +61 3 9657 8879.
Our first themed tour is called MCG, Sport and War. This tour takes visitors through the National Sports Museum and MCC Museum exploring historical artefacts like evidence of the American Air Force occupation of the MCG in WWII, the Blackham Ball used as a fundraiser for returned servicemen and a replica Victoria Cross awarded posthumously to Flight Lt William Newton.
The tour also explores parts of the ground where there are memorials, plaques and recognition of the story of the MCG, Sport and War.
A fully accredited sports heritage complex and tourism destination, the MCG also houses the 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 and Champions Thoroughbred Racing Gallery.
