Jennifer
It was terrific. Our guide Catherine was very knowledgable , humorous and a joy as a guide. Top notch experience. Many thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
rachel
Have attended musicals, concerts and various sports events here and staff and accessibility has always been good. Toilet facilities are easy to find, the range of available food and drinks is reasonable. Maybe just the parking is limited and easily sells out, extension to the carpark building would be great.
Joanne
Quick friendly easy entry through security. Bars well run. Seats in front sections uncovered therefore you will get wet if you have seats in rows A-J It was very cold and wet when we visited and would have loved a hot drink, but bars only seemed to sell alcohol and cold drinks sadly. I did look
Andrea
Michael, our guide, was not only extremely knowledgeable about all sports in Australia, but made the experience a lot of fun. We spent the majority of the time at the tennis complex. We were allowed to play on the practice courts as it had rained and we could not play outside on the blue courts as usual. He made sure we understood the contributions of the Australian tennis players and how the Tennis Center evolved over the years. We then walked over to the Melbourne Cricket Grounds which is a huge Stadium that is known as the MCG to everyone Australian. he showed us the statues of the famous cricket and Australian Football League (Footie) players, and then we went inside to see the stadium. He walked us back over the bridge, pointing out Melbourne landmarks from different vantage points. Michael accommodated everyone's interests and answered all our questions. He convinced us that Melbourne is truly the Sports Capital of the World!
Nicola
Good tour and just enough time to have a go playing tennis on the practice court too! Cathy was a great guide; very knowledgeable and great at giving us little insights into her experience of working at the AO and interactions with players
Ian
Cathy was an excellent guide, enthusiastic and looked after everyone in the group.
Russell
Our guide Kath was really lovely and very informative. She showed us all around the different tennis arenas and provided stories about the tennis players too. We had a great time playing tennis on one of the courts too.
Kim
Fantastic venue, easy to access and always so much going on. Perfect arenas for concerts as you can sit comfortably and still be up close to the action.
C
Went on a tour through Open House Melbourne. Great to see back of house at Margaret Court Arena and go on the ground at AAMI stadium. Certainly recommend people looking into attending next year's open house weekend. Free to see many places you never see normally.
Patrizia
Torvil and Dean spectacular. Amazing show. Great to learn about their 50 years together. Support skaters were amazing. To still be able to skate at their age is amazing. Sad to see them go however they will still be around the skating world. All the best guys you have truly been a 6!!
