I learnt so much about the physical, social, cultural and historical aspects of sport and the MCG. Some of the stories were very moving. The race day fashions of past and present, especially the hats, were remarkable. And for those who like a hands-on experience there is much to do in the interactive section.

Went to the National Sport Museum before an AFL game. It is brilliantly done. An awesome collection of sports history and information as well as interactive displays and presentations. This is a must see and experience for all ages and genders.

We went here before a Cricket game, so it was nice to see the exhibits and actually try some of the AUS sports - way different than USA sports.

Fabulous facility. Went with my daughter and mum and catered well for all 3 generations. he interactive area is outstanding and my 13 year old daughter and I spent lots of time here. It was Mon am and lots of school groups continuously, but the staff ensured everyone had a fair go. Thoroughly recommend a visit here

This place is billiant. The history and items they have on show here is simply amazing. You need a couple of hours here to read everything properly. They have background narration in some areas that just adds to the experience and they also have small rooms where you can go and sit and listen to Warnie and James Hird talk...

What can I say, this place is a national treasure. The amount of times I have been to the MCG to see footy and I've never come through this place... I could have spent hours in here but we were being pleasured with a private tour and dining experience at the G so time was short. I will definitely go...
