    Worth going too

    There is a bit of walking and stairs to go down to the grounds and then back up again but it is spread over a time period so you have to time to rest.

    The String Foundation MCG Stands On 😇

    A must do place when in Melbourne ✅ We targeted to go to MCG the moment we decided to be in Melbourne; and actually we wound up doing this the first thing on the first day. We are, in deed, glad that we did so. Most highly recommended for all Visitors to MEL 😍

    A great memorable visit

    It was great and memorable visit My visit to the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) was truly an unforgettable and memorable experience. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the incredible history, atmosphere, and sporting spirit that makes the MCG such an iconic place. Walking through this legendary stadium and seeing the enormous seating areas, historic displays, and world-class facilities was absolutely fascinating. What impressed me most was the rich sporting heritage of the MCG and the many unforgettable moments that have taken place here over the years. The atmosphere inside the stadium was special even when there wasn’t a major match happening. It gave me a real appreciation for why the MCG is considered one of the greatest sporting venues in the world. It was a wonderful experience for me and my family, and definitely one of the highlights of our Melbourne visit. I would highly recommend visiting the MCG to anyone travelling to Melbourne. It is not just a stadium—it is a place filled with history, memories, passion, and unforgettable sporting stories. A truly remarkable experience that I will remember for a long time!

    A must to be on your to do list whilst in Melbourne

    This tour was worth every cent. From walking in, security guards were friendly and helpful, as was the ticket sales young lady. Then Volunteer Brian took us through the MCG. Brian was just the best and we truly want to thank you for your time and your knowledge. Brian was so enthusiastic, knowledgable, passionate and just a really friendly guy. I didn’t think I’d enjoy it as much as I did. Absolutely a fabulous experience. Thank you MCG and Brian, Lyn, Martin, Anne and Gary.

    Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.

    How much does Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $28 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 Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.3 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 Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 440 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 Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) Tour?

    +

    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 Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) Tour?

    +

    Around 154 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 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) Tour 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 Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Whisky and Chocolate Tour, Yarra Valley Wine Tour w Exclusive Gin, Cider & Chocolate Tasting, 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.
