Discover Australia through the lens of sport at the new Australian Sports Museum, located at Gate Three of the MCG. This is no ordinary museum, with interactive experiences for all to enjoy. Here you’ll find touchscreens, instead of do not touch signs and climbable statues for the kids to play.
Visitors are invited to immerse themselves through wonders of sporting moments with their largest collection of grassroots to elite sporting memorabilia. While kids kick a football in Game On! at the Australian Sports Museum they invite you to expect the unexpected, just like sport itself.

It 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.

Definitely worth it for the price paid. Situated inside the stadium, it boasts several levels of memorabilia spread over different sections dedicated to different sports. These including Australian rules football, tennis, cricket etc.
Most highlighted is the special cricket section, where you can enter a 3D projected Shane Warne experience, where the late, famous cricketer comes out and gives a talk about his career with the Australian cricket team.
There are also lots of interactive areas where you can try out catching, pedalling and other sports. This especially great for children. You are also given a wristband that allows you to interact with many of the displays in the museum.
Overall a very enjoyable visit. I would allow for about 1 hour for a visit. This will allow you to easily see everything in the museum and fully enjoy it.

This place is a great spot for whole family. It has stuff for the oldies and newer stuff for mid age. And down stairs there is an interactive section for the kids. Make sure you watch the Warney show and there is some info about the mcg I didn’t know-“reversible grandstands that burnt down.
Staff service here is top shelf.

Fun day out at Melbourne cricket club museum. Learned about the history. Got to see the ground. A little pricey but worth it. Nice cafe too!
