Lightbulb Details for MCG Tour

What: (Tour of the Melbourne Cricket Ground)

MCG Tours depart from Gate 3 in the Olympic Stand every ½ hour. See the stunning new MCC Museum and Library as part of your tour! I was advised there was no need to make a booking; the 2:30pm tour has been planned.

Cost:

Tickets are $15; OzFest MCG tour attendees will need to purchase their tickets at the ground.

Getting there:

People can meet at the Hilton foyer ready to depart at 2pm (or go straight to gate 3 at the ground by 2:15pm). The MCG is 10 minute walk through the park from the Hilton.

Public transport can be used with either a train to Jolimont Station (Epping or Hurstbridge Lines) or a tram (#48 or #75) from the city along Wellington Parade; get off at Hilton/MCG stop.

Here is a Google Maps image of the area with the MCG and the Jolimont station clearly marked (After closing the 'address balloon'). The Hilton Hotel is immediately 'above' the W of "Wellington Parade".
