A great experience at Adelaide Oval

Grahame_O, Mar 2023

An amazing experience from start to finish. Our guide was great, and we felt very safe. As seniors, we hoped we could keep up, but had no problems. Luckily it was a cool day, as it might have been a bit harder if it was hot. We thought this was a highlight of our trip to Adelaide. We would thoroughly recommend this climb to anyone. Perhaps avoid if you absolutely hate heights or get vertigo.

Amazing experience

Michelle_B, Feb 2023

A great adventure! From checkin to harnessing up the guys were great. The climb up and over the multiple rooftops was amazing, the view from up there terrific and The Southern Stand WOW!! Highly recommend

From start to finish. ...

Corrienne_C, Feb 2023

From start to finish. Tour guides were good and made our experience fun too. Would definitely do this again.

Great climb up the Adelaide Oval

Sharon_P, Nov 2022

We had a great time climbing up the roof of the Oval. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgable and she told us lots of facts about the ground and Adelaide in general. It was a bit scary when you got to the top and you could see through where you were walking right down to the ground !! Couldn’t bring myself to lean out backwards over the edge though !! Really enjoyable would thoroughly recommend it 😎

Adelaide Oval Climb - a Great Experience!

Tracy_P, Nov 2022

Great experience, even with the rain and wind! Beautiful views and a fun climb up and over and back again. We would definitely do this again!

Overcome the Nerves and Do the River Bank Stand Lean Out

Kerrie_Y, Oct 2022

The Adelaide Roof Climb was an Awesome Activity to do with my two girlfriends on our holiday. The tour guides were brilliant and made sure we were very safe. The way they contacted the tour was very informative and enjoyable to listen too. Will definitely be telling people it's something to put on the bucket list.

Fantastic Experience!

Geraldine_L, May 2022

The views from the rooftop were amazing and it was a great experience. It was a little scary and took a bit of getting used to as you're not completely fenced in like you are on the Harbour Bridge Climb in Sydney. There is only a railing on one side of you. Took a bit of adjusting to. Still loved it though. The tour guide was great and very informative. For me, I would have liked to go a little slower, as I found it was hard trying to move at normal walking speed whilst trying to adjust to the height (however, I never voiced this on the tour so my own fault). Overall it was a great experience.

Twilight dream

Rosalyn_J, May 2022

Had an amazing time guide was great safety a top priority. A must do adventure spectacular views well worth the money for anyone thinking of having a go! Lean out was scary but safe!

Twilight walk

Michael_M, Apr 2022

Fantastic experience for the whole family . We did the twilight walk which was beautiful unfortunately cloud cover meant no sunset on the day .

Go for it

Mike_V, Apr 2022

Great experience a little anxiety inducing but pleasantly surprised how good the walk was and the team leader excellent and safe

A great way to celebrate a special occasion as a family.

Vicki_C, Mar 2022

We loved doing the climb as a family, supporting each other and encouraging each other through the different challenges. The twilight tour was fabulous with a beautiful sunset and the lights of Adelaide.

Family fun

Andrew_H, Jan 2022

Great to see the improvements to the oval since going to a one dayer in the 80s. My 14 yo daughter loved the leaning out experience. It was a great experience and an affordable family experience Andrew

Awesome experience, don’t miss this!

Jean_Smith, May 2021

This was an awesome experience. I couldn’t recommend it more highly. I’d give it 6 stars if I could. Alistair (our guide) was informative, funny, caring and looked after us all the way through. If you only have time for one tour in Adelaide, pick this one! Many thanks

Unique and exciting experience.

Jenny_N, Apr 2021

This was a great experience and an unusual activity to do. Great care was taken in ensuring each participants safety and the instructions given were very clear. The history of the ground was very interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it.

Memorable moments

Kathrine_P, Apr 2021

Our guide was extremely informative with his knowledge of surrounding areas in Adelaide. He was calm for those who needed a little extra support and brought some humor into the tour to ease some nerves. The whole process was very professional and you knew safety was well taken care of. a most memorable moment was the lean back and Sitting by the lean back area and the view you get of the oval and surrounds. A massive thank you, this was such a great experience

An Excellent Adventure

Anne P, Jan 2018

My 19 year old son did this tour and said it was the best experience he has had. The walk was professionally organised and ran smoothly. We got to watch him from below in the Stadium and were allowed to move around freely to watch him. The photo USB was great value and had great shots of his experience.
