The Australian Sports Museum at the MCG spans multiple levels of memorabilia covering AFL, cricket, tennis, and more. Interactive zones let kids test skills, and an MCG stadium tour adds a behind-the-scenes layer for sports fans of any age.

โœ“ AFL and cricket focusโœ“ Interactive skill zonesโœ“ MCG stadium tourโœ“ Knowledgeable guidesโœ“ Multi-level exhibits

๐Ÿ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids aged 8 and up who follow Australian sport - AFL and cricket fans in particular will find the interactive sections genuinely engaging rather than passive. The MCG tour is worth adding for older kids and adults.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กCombine the museum with an MCG stadium tour for the full experience - book both together
โฐAllow at least two hours to cover all levels without rushing
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธThe Shane Warne exhibition and cricket interactive zone are the most popular stops - start there to avoid peak crowds
๐Ÿš—Knowledgeable staff are stationed throughout and welcome questions

โ€œIt was a memorable experience. The guide gave a lot of valuable information about the history of the stadium, different sections of the stadium, different seating arrangements, etc. I was lucky since I could also see the Shane Warne exhibition.โ€

Overview

Spread across several levels inside the MCG, the museum houses memorabilia and interactive exhibits dedicated to AFL, cricket, tennis, and Australian sporting history. The Shane Warne exhibition and a dedicated cricket section - where visitors can test batting and bowling skills - are standout areas. Combining a museum visit with a guided MCG tour provides access to change rooms, players race, and the ground itself. Knowledgeable staff and guides field questions throughout.
