Sports lovers, this one’s for you. The iconic Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Sydney – a world-renowned venue that hosts a year-round calendar of sport, entertainment and cultural events.

Catch everything from international Test cricket, Big Bash League, AFL, NRL, and even live music concerts at this legendary stadium. For something more immersive, the SCG Tour Experience offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look, including access to the historic Members Pavilion, dressing rooms, and the SCG Museum – home to sporting treasures like Don Bradman’s baggy green and Ricky Ponting’s bat.
