I have done the tour 3 times. a different perspective every time. Volunteer tour guides are great. so much history behind the scenes at the oval. The old scoreboard is always a highlight as are the honour boards and trophys in the cricket dressing rooms.

Our tour guide was fantastic, gave a great insight into the ground. He welcomed comments from the group and interected with us. The scoreboard was fascinating to see and I feel sorry for the workers in there on a really hot day with a north wind blowing. Definately the best oval in the world to play cricket or football on. Would reccommend the tour to anyone who loves cricket or football to take the tour. The Bradman museum was brilliant and is available to see everyday for free.

Discover Adelaide Oval’s legacy on a 90-minute tour with access to exclusive areas, historic sites, players’ change rooms, and hidden gems like the 1911 heritage listed scoreboard.

Uncover little-known facts, historic moments, and the stadium’s sporting and cultural heritage from a knowledgeable and friendly guide.

Climb inside the historic scoreboard at the Cathedral End, where generations of scorekeepers have recorded legendary moments for decades.

Visit the Bradman Collection, displaying a vast array of memorabilia, video footage, and rare artifacts from the cricketing legend’s career.

Fun fact: The Adelaide Oval has hosted concerts by famous international artists such as Madonna, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Adele, and Ed Sheeran.

Great history. Knowledgeable guide. Thorough tour except would have been good to see the views from seats near the top of a big stand
