MCG & Sports Museum Tour
The volunteer guide Derry who took us through was very knowledgeable but softly spoken. He was passionate about the history & shared interesting facts. Due to the AFL finals coming up the sound check was taking place which made it tricky to hear at times. Highly recommend this tour which included the Australian Sports Museum as well. There’s no time limit on wandering through the museum & there is an interactive kids area. Lots of statues in the grounds to look at too. Having access to the cloakroom was great for storing our bags as we headed to the airport straight after.

MCG Tour & Australian Sports Museum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does MCG Tour & Australian Sports Museum cost?
+
Prices start at $36 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Melbourne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does MCG Tour & Australian Sports Museum take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Melbourne is not rushed.
Is MCG Tour & Australian Sports Museum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 315 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule MCG Tour & Australian Sports Museum?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is MCG Tour & Australian Sports Museum suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book MCG Tour & Australian Sports Museum?
+
Around 110 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Melbourne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Melbourne and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does MCG Tour & Australian Sports Museum start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Melbourne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Melbourne?
+
On Outty we rank every Melbourne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Cider & Chocolate tour, Melbourne: Epic Yarra Valley Wine Tour & Lunch - Gin/Beer Upgrade, Yarra Valley Wine Tour from Melbourne - Choc, Gin & Good Times. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Melbourne?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Melbourne?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in MCG Tour & Australian Sports Museum?
+
Included: Entry to Warne: Treasures of a Legend exhibit (if visiting between Dec 16, 2025 – Aug 9, 2; Guided Tour of the MCG; and Admission to the Australian Sports Museum. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for MCG Tour & Australian Sports Museum?
+
The experience starts at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Brunton Ave, Yarra Park, Jolimont, Melbourne, Victoria, 8002, Australia. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is MCG Tour & Australian Sports Museum offered in?
+
