Twilight climb in February - Fabulous experience - The climb was amazing. It was informative regarding Adelaide Oval, The Drive Tennis Centre and Adelaide in general, even though I have lived in SA for 60 years. Our guide Mitch was incredible. The weather was perfect for a twilight climb. Loved everything about this experience and worth every dollar. Highly recommend to locals and tourists to Adelaide.

Fabulous trip for cricket lovers - There are lots of roof climbs around these days, but this was special. Small group of 9, very informative guide Riley who gave us loads of interesting facts about the stadium, and about the development of Adelaide as a city. As a bonus, there was a local league final being played, so we got to watch that from the top Of the stand, 50m up. Very good tour - fun and informative

Enjoying the high view - As a cricket tragic, I had watched with envy the people on tv at the Adelaide Oval climbing the roof. Therefore, when we had a holiday to Adelaide, doing the roof climb was high on my list of priorities. I was not disappointed. The climb was wonderful. There are a lot of steps, so you need to be reasonably fit, but my husband is 78 and he managed it. We also had a lady on our tour who told us she was 75 and she was fine. We also had three kids in the group and they had a ball. The lean out is awesome fun. I will be reccomending that all my friends do this, it is just exceptional.

An extraordinary experience - It was a beautiful and special experience on the roof of the oval. Since I booked an evening tour, I was also able to watch the sunset, which made it even more special. In my opinion, however, there is clearly a star deduction: if you book this activity, you should be aware that although a group and an individual photo are included, you cannot take one yourself, i.e. if you take several additional photos If you want to have it as a souvenir, it costs extra - up to 50% of the activity price if you choose the option "all your own photos", which I find a bit overpriced, especially since they are all (fortunately) offered as a download.

A stunning view of Adelaide! - The climb itself was excellent with a very knowledgeable guide. He instilled us with enough confidence to complete the dreaded lean back! We were given a mixed message on check-in time and arrived an hour early though to the wrong entry door ☹️
