Why it's worth checking out
The Australian Sports Museum, housed within the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground at Yarra Park, is the country's national celebration of sport. A must for any sports fan, it brings together an extraordinary collection of memorabilia, interactive exhibits and history across the nation's favourite games — from cricket and the AFL to the Olympics and beyond.
The appeal is that combination of a world-class collection, engaging interactive experiences and the chance to soak up the history of Australian sport, all within the hallowed surrounds of the MCG. It's often paired with a tour of the famous ground itself, making for a brilliant day out for sports lovers and families alike.
With a 4.7 rating from nearly 1,000 reviews, it's a much-loved attraction. Admission, opening hours, MCG tour options and any special exhibitions vary, and access can change around events at the ground, so it's worth checking current details and considering booking ahead before you go — and allowing time to take in both the museum and, ideally, a tour of the iconic stadium.
