    Adelaide Oval
    Stop: 90 minutes - Admission included
    The redeveloped Adelaide Oval offers a unique blend of new and old, carefully integrating the latest in stadium design with famous features such as the heritage scoreboard, century-old Moreton Bay Fig trees, the grassed northern mound and more. These elements form an embedded museum, with integrated points of interest and historical features bringing the whole stadium to life. Access restricted areas and experience the thunderous roar of the crowd as you take to the ground through the interactive player’s race. See where some of the world’s greatest bands have entertained sold-out crowds and step inside living history as you explore inside the iconic scoreboard. Adelaide Oval Tours are led by expert volunteer guides who will share captivating tales of new and old Adelaide Oval. Each guide has their own unique stories and tour paths change seasonally - there’s always a new experience waiting to be had! The tours last approximately 90 minutes at a steady walking pace and may include the use of steps, stairs, ramps, escalators and lifts. Comfortable walking shoes and weather appropriate clothes are strongly recommended as the path includes external areas. While at the Oval, take time to wander through the famed Bradman Collection, on loan from the State Library of South Australia. The Collection follows Sir Donald Bradman’s progress from club cricketer to the international stage. It explores his major role in cricket administration and provides glimpses of the family man and all-round sportsman. The Bradman Collection is open Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm and is free for the public to view.

    Service contines to be an issue
    Have been coming here to watch football since 2014 and love the experience. The service at the bar in the Magarey Room though leaves a lot to be desired. I stood there on Saturday night in an after match function with 5 people & 4 bar staff, only 2 of whom were actually serving. I had to actually say something to be served. And then, asking for orange juice, the staff member had no idea if they had any. Only after a 5 minute scramble did they find any! Not good enough when you are charging premium prices for poor service leaves a nasy taste in the mouth.

    Mix of old and new
    Nice setting in Parkland, enjoyed the walk from the botanical gardens. Stadium has its own character, mix of old and new. Hard to get food or go to the loo. Easy to enter with plenty of staff

    Disappointing
    I don't think Adelaide Oval is as good as South Australians make it out to be. We found the food to be the worst we have ever had at a footy ground, even a local one. It's not a patch on the MCG or even Manuka Oval, for example.

    Great atmosphere during Gather Round
    Great to visit Adelaide Oval during Gather Round, the food is quite good at AO - fish tacos and calamari for $22

    Went to a game of footy. This was great, but given the hype around the oval, it didn't live up to its Lofty expectations. An experience nonetheless.

    The famous Adelaide Oval
    We visited on a week day but found the Sir Donald Bradman Museum excellent. We also watched the the grounds men replacing the turf on the field before the first AFL game on Saturday.

    Bad Timing
    Went to enjoy the tour but not possible as it wasn't happening because it clashed with an Ed Sheehan concert preparations and it was the opening day of the Adelaide Festival so we made do with a bit of lunch which was most enjoyable.

    Superb
    An amazing venue for all sports. Cricket offers great atmosphere, but the venue is modern and oozing quality. It is an amazing central location with tree covered surroundings, and now boasting a world class hotel.

    no Australlian food or drinks
    For the price and place you might expect an Australian beer and a meal under 2 hours. But not here, seems service is based on what team you support and what stae you come from.

    A lovely ground for a cricket match
    We visited for the first three days of the Adelaide Test against the West Indies. Our tickets were in the sun, which was OK when the weather was in the 20s, but on the 35-degree day, I used Ticketek at the ground to change our tickets to undercover. Ticketek were very friendly & helpful & we ended up on Level 5 of the Riverbank Stand. We found the stadium staff were all very helpful & apart from being sold cold chips once, we found the food & beverages excellent, with lots of choices.

    Classic!
    A classic oval with good presence and nice surrounding gardens. Don Bradman's statue along with other famous South Aussie sportsman and philanthropists makes for a must do circumference walk. Bradman's private collection rooms inside is a must see! Very good stands and playing surface when we visited in November. Well done Adelaide!

    A fantastic tour of the Oval
    We enjoyed our tour very much and our guide Tony was very considerate and informative. Our vist to the scorebox had to be the highlight, fascinating to see what goes on inside the score box. The ground looked amazing, a thorough walk round was enjoyed by all.

    Oval Tour Fun
    This is a great tour! Felt privileged getting to see behind the scenes, inside the old score board and hearing all about the rich history! Don’t miss this, whilst visiting Adelaide!

    Adelaide oval
    I have recently attended a football match. Loved the atmosphere and grounds people were so helpful. Also have been to the 5 Regions restaurant that over looks the oval such a gem. Next for me is the roof climb!

    Pleasant surroundings
    I did not attend any event at the stadium, but just walking the surroundings is worthy. Even during winter time. I can imagine this would even be more pleasant during the rest of the year.

The tour with our amazing guide Robert, took us behind the scenes checking out the AFL and cricket areas, plus a walk through the historic score board and a brief history. We sat in the commentators and press section, which gave us a good view of the ground.
Adelaide oval combines the old and the new beautifully and looks over the city and the hills.
Well worth the visit.

I would highly recommend this tour if you have an interest in sport and the history to the Adelaide Oval. The tour while having a few steps is very easy paced and covers the whole ground.

One stand out part of the tour was the "old" scoreboard with its various mechanical scoring arrangements.

Special thanks to Noel for his informative and very friendly approach - well done.

Very detailed tour with a very knowledgeable local guide. You get to go inside the footy change rooms the iconic 1912 scoreboard,and into the media room.
Great location to take photos overlooking the ground.
Plenty of toilet facilities and a cafe on site.

We did the oval tour as part of the Indian Pacific trip from Perth to Sydney. It was a great tour that ended with a breakfast at the oval. The tour of the Bradman exhibition was excellent with lots of anecdotes from our Guide. Then we worked our way to the old score board and then inside it to see how it works during a match. Was really interesting. Then into the team locker rooms and we then did the walk out onto the oval (with the crowd roaring!). Was a great experience.

Absolutely one of the best tours I’ve been on. It was so interesting , thanks to our guide Ian. We were taken all over the inside areas that no one gets it see. The most exciting part of the tour was actually going inside the old scoreboard. It is a must when visiting Adelaide.

Informative and enjoyable. Our guide hit the right balance of telling us all about the history and development of the Oval without going into microscopic detail and all done with an underlying sense of humour.
As a cricket lover highlight was the iconic old scoreboard.

Really enjoyed tour. Had a very good tour guide who was very informative. Loved the old score board and how it works. It was very interesting to see the change rooms and behind scene areas. Also the hallways with their honour boards and photos etc. Donald Bradman museum was also worth seeing. Would highly recommend tour

Enjoyed going in the scoreboard.
The Badman Museum was well presented as was the room before you enter the museum.
Disappointed we could not go in one of the football team rooms or the media rooms.
Perhaps guides needed to know more of the history about the players both cricket and football

We were a little disappointed with the overall experience.
We have attended the tours of SCG, MCG & Lords and at all those grounds we were allowed into the member’s pavilion, long room, home and away teams rooms etc. but not at Adelaide! We saw the famous visitors honour board at the SCG but not given any time to review items in SACA museum.
The vines on the stands were described as “ivy” when they gave the obvious appearance of being grapes…

This tour is quite well paced, informative and interesting. It goes for 90 minutes and there is a balance of coverage of cricket and AFL information so if you like one and not the other don't despair!

You get to see a lot of behind the scenes stuff - dressing rooms, corporate areas and get inside the heritage listed scoreboard. There are stairs to climb but if your fitness isn't great you still aren't likely to have any dramas.

You can pick up souvenirs from the concierge desk and it is a chance to check out the Bradman Collection housed at Adelaide Oval as well.
