Adelaide Oval, Adelaide Overview

Adelaide Oval has been the city's main sporting ground for more than 140 years, hosting Test cricket in summer and AFL in winter. Between seasons it turns into a concert venue - the Rolling Stones and Adele have both played here. Stadium tours run on non-match days and take in the heritage scoreboard, the players' areas and the roof climb.

You can reach here by train, tram and bus services with free travel for some events and it is best to check public transport timetables. You can experience a stunning Roof Climb adventure and take in the city skyline and discover the grounds history on the tour with St Peter’s Cathedral in the background. The specially trained climbers will guide you across the roof and you can sit on the Riverbank platform. The minimum age requirement is 8 years. The Koffee Ink Café is a great dining option and you can enjoy views of Adelaide Riverbank.
