Families' Pick 2026 · Melbourne: picked by the Funtivities team as a standout for families in Melbourne.

Last updated October 2026

Sports museum and 75-minute behind-the-scenes MCG tours at Gate 3 of the MCG; under-5s free, family tickets available.

The Australian Sports Museum sits inside Gate 3 of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and the same team runs guided MCG Tours. The museum has sport galleries and exhibitions (Test Tales is showing as of October 2026). The MCG Tour is a 75-minute guided walk behind the scenes, including the MCC Long Room, with tours departing regularly between 10am and 3pm from Gate 3; the route depends on availability. Bookings are essential for tours. As of October 2026, a combined tour and museum ticket costs $50 adult, $22 child (5 to 15) or $120 for a family of two adults and two children; tour-only or museum-only tickets are $38 adult, $17 child or $91 family. Extra children on a family ticket are $6 at Gate 3, and children under 5 are free. It is open daily, with varied hours on MCG event days, when tours only run on some days. Relaxed Hours sessions offer a reduced sensory visit, and Auslan-interpreted tours are offered.
