Melbourne Park Tennis Experience

About this tour

Play on the iconic blue hardcourts of Melbourne Park, home to tennis's Australian Open, in this three-hour court experience. Equipment and racquets are provided—bring trainers and you're set. Melbourne Park sits at the heart of the world's sporting capital, a city where Australian rules football, cricket, horse racing and motor racing define local culture. You'll explore the precinct's legendary venues including Rod Laver Arena and the MCG, learning how Indigenous Australians shaped the nation's sporting identity. In January, secure tickets to the Open itself instead of court time; December bookings offer court access at reduced rates.

What to expect

You'll arrive at Melbourne Park's sporting precinct and either step onto the courts (November only) or attend the Australian Open (January). In court months, instructors brief you on technique before rallies begin; courts are yours for the full session. During the Open, you'll move through the precinct with guide commentary, soaking in venue architecture and match atmosphere from the stands. Either way, expect walking between venues—the MCG and Rod Laver are close but require mobility. Expect crowds in January; November offers quieter conditions. The three hours moves briskly; this isn't a training camp but a tick-the-box moment.
