Home of the Australian open. Melbourne has amazing sporting facilities to host world stage events. It's easy to get to these places via public transport as well.

Home of the Australian Open tennis. Lucky day no rain, no smoke, not too hot. As a result it was a record crowd. There is always a good, exciting atmosphere. Fortunately he had a reserved seat in the Margaret Court Arena. Otherwise the queues for the other courts were very long.

The best sport place in the World !!?

Sports facilitates done right. Concessions lack variety and are expensive, so don't plan to eat at the venue and it's not a problem. Super fast venue team helped us run the Austral cycling event, and so close to Melbourne.

Great facility, very versatile, hosting all types of events. Great views of the city and Yarra River. Next to the beautiful Botanical Gardens

Australian open was the greatest experience ever. Loved every moment of it. Great organization from everyone. Cant wait to come back to this amazing event in this beautiful city. Everything was simply stunning

This original Melbourne Park Function Centre has been demolished and as of February 2022, replaced by "The Centrepiece at Melbourne Park Function Centre". The new Centrepiece is much larger and is now 3 levels with larger capacity and many more function rooms, a large upstairs Theatre/Auditorium etc. As of late February the area is still under construction and being finished, although it is operating. Large venue in the Centre of the Sports Precinct. Great views of the City from the Function Centres concourse, especially at sunset. Melbourne Park Function Centre is one of the larger venues in Melbourne, easily holding 800-1000 people for a sit down dinner with a large dance floor and band space. Adjacent are Laver Arena, Tennis Centre, AAMI Centre, MCG and others. This is one of Melbourne's busiest areas when all venues are hosting events. If you want to park nearby, it's best to book in advance online as parking is frequently fully booked out, sometimes a week or so in advance.

Amazing experiance to visit such an iconic venue for the first time during junior Nationals and Showdown. World class tennis courts and stadiums, but what contributes to make this place outstanding and complete, are the staff within the grounds. Cant wait to re-visit.

Enjoyable quarter final night matches. Good crowd, everyone was well-behaved. I've attended great matches over the years here and I feel very lucky and inspired to have seen some legendary players in live action, you just can't top it and TV doesn't do them justice. Was part of an eternal Mexican Wave once. Seriously, it went around thirty plus times at Rod Laver Arena. Such good spirit, everyone was so happy. Last attended in Jan 2018 with my sister. Hoping to attend again in 2023 with an old friend.

Outstanding venue for world-class sports and entertainment events. Every seat is good and the atmosphere is electric. Home of the Australian Open tennis tournament.

Really well organised event for the Australian Open. Fantastic event for everyone. Arena courts super well designed. Queues weren’t to long in any way for food or drinks. Toilets easily accessible without a wait. Also great buzz about the place.

Melbourne Park is a vibrant hub for sports and entertainment in Melbourne. Home to major events like the Australian Open tennis tournament, it comes alive with energy and excitement. With world-class stadiums, lush green spaces, and a lively atmosphere, Melbourne Park offers a dynamic experience for sports enthusiasts and visitors looking to enjoy top-notch entertainment in the heart of the city.

Watched the Boomers play and win. Great venue, no big queues, easy to get food and drink and merch. You need to pay for the best seats but it was worth it.

Venue for FIFA WOMEN'S WORLD CUP AU-NZ 2023. Was there to watch the game between Germany vs Morocco. The Stadium was well kept for the occasion as the seats were thoroughly cleaned

Great venue. A great day to watch all day pass of tennis. They have big screens to watch the games. Lot of choices of food and drinks. Enjoy all the games I watch . A memorable experience for me .

Went to watch the tennis. Beautifully presented outside area's. Lots of drink stations, food eateries and incredibly helpful staff

This is the home of the Australian Open, one of the top tennis tournaments in the world. During the 2 weeks of The Open the place is alive. Great chance we see the best players in the world for a pretty modest cost

Certainly a very nice,,,well laid out park with the junior tennis players playing on the outer courts,,,and outside large tv screens and undercover deck chairs to watch the tennis 🎾 games from inside Margaret court,,,John Cain,,and Rod laver arenas,,,etc.

Had a great time at AO, a very well organized event . Was asked to put a small set of Speakers which had just bought as a gift into the lockers as it could not be taken inside which was fine untill the fact that the charges for the lockers were exorbitant at$15 which is half the price of the speaker .The list of unacceptable items said large sound instrument s not allowed and this was a small speaker half the size of my palm .

The Australian Open is now the best sporting event we’ve been to in the world. So world class, innovative and fun. We are going again tomorrow. SUGGESTIONS 1)Can you please put more or quicker coffee outlets in. It took 20-25min to get a coffee. This is Melb. We need our coffee please. 2) The Taxi line on Olympic Blvd wasn’t working that well. Plenty of taxis but too slow getting people into them. Study what they do at the airport. Thanks

Had the opportunity to watch a bit of tennis whilst touring Australia. WAW what can I say, it was fantastic, superb venue and class act set up. Thanks

Wonderful day at the Australian Open! Great venue. Very nice variety of vendors. Nice mix of food. Only negative: camera lenses must be <300 mm or you will need to check them for AUS $15!!

Week day visit not too busy and short queues only for food, drinks, shops etc. Great match viewing in outdoor seating. Just a wonderful set up all round.

I'm reviewing the AO24. It's a classy and sophisticated event that has carefully selected food and drinks outlets. All were good, except the Italians ran out of food by early evening so I could not get the Arancino Bolognese (at least it had salad and rice), and I noticed their $20ish pizza is just a slice, not a full pizza, so essentially very little topping value and you're paying for mostly baked dough. I can understand they need to pay for the expensive set up, but $13.50 for chips? I went to a Spanish/Asian fusion place and got a chorizo hot dog with chips for $19 - not the nicest or healthiest food, but enjoyable to try. The coffee at the chain outlet was the most foul I've tasted in a long time in Melbourne - the flavour of burnt rubber boots. There is a coffee place in John Cain Arena near the exit to go to the outside practice courts which looked like a better option. I had popcorn from Uncle Charlie's too. The flavour sachet was hard to open and was enough to cover maybe half of the popcorn but it stuck quickly and was hard to spread around the popcorn. The taste was tangy and not as delicious as I imagined, but not strong and I couldn't really taste the "nutty" flavour. I had the 1st day ground pass thinking it's going to be the hugest day as I recall that's how it usually works. However, unusually, the 1st day did not have as many matches as scheduled for the 2nd. So, it was a bit disappointing as there were only a handful of popular players scheduled. Another thing, there are too many mediocre Australian players entered who can't dominate a match and win in straight sets, or win at all, which makes it a let down if you're Australian. The bogans at some Australian matches were bad-mannered, calling out between serves and making noise at time of serve and through points, so it was embarassing to be on the same side - they should stick to watching Cricket. If you have more cash to spend, I think the experience would be better because there's a lot of shopping opportunities, and you could book dining in advance or lounge in the bars and eateries all day (if watching tennis in person wasn't your priority). The venue is great, experience pretty good, but having a fuller schedule for the 1st day, and making sure there is enough food and selecting a better coffee provider are also important.

Great atmosphere. Fabulous tennis and seeing it up close, live and it's fast. Watched Cruz Hewitt on debut. Saw Alex De Mininor on Rod Laver Arena. Food and drinks a bit priced up. Some food could be better ie the pizza place (cold)

Australian Open 2024 - reduced games due to the extra day meant it was tough to get into courts for ground pass holders. Rod Laver & Margaret Court were half empty in comparison due to excessive ticket prices. Those tickets were more expensive than last year and included one less match in the day sessions. Extensive public spaces allowed for big crowds but would argue more people didn't want tennis than watched it. A problem but one some don't seem to mind.

Super proud of this wonderful city with first class tennis facilities and great culture. Family and children friendly. Very worthy of the money to see the world top players tennis match in the first round! Kia Arena is highly recommended with close to touch distance to the player and plenty seats, open air spaces! Five starts experience. You can park at MCG Yarra park, just 10 minutes walking distance and cost 10 bulk for the whole day! Also if you prefer something fancy, parking in Crown multi level car park, very economical except weekend, take water taxi from Southbank to the Melbourne park. Absolutely unique experience! Finally don’t forget to check the schedule at AO app to find the best match time slot during the day! 😉

A great day out watching the tennis on a day pass. Lots of atmosphere, few queues, good food and drink. Big screens for the big matches.

The Australian Open is not the world's best tennis event but a world class festival for anyone and everyone. Definitely a bucket list event. Go!

One of the best sports facilities out there mate1

We visited Australian Open 2010, it was fantastic event, but way too much people. Workers told us that there were 60 thousand people in one day!!!

It was really awesome... Some of the best moments of my life was spent over there... It was like a dream coming true.

This was our third time going to the Australian Open. Every year it is bigger and better. I highly recommend this experience. Something for everyone and all bugets.

Well organized and laid out. Great open spaces. Nice access to parking and public transport.

If carrying a suitcase , while walking a long way is your thing , then this place is quite nice. As there is no vehicle access to any of the central arenas.

good place for a bit of a sweat. The tennis facility is my go to

Always professional, never had any issue with scheduling as you can go before work. Way finding’s is fairly straight forward and you can park on site is you have an appointment.

Australia Open is a legendary grand slam a friendly environment good for kids and Melbourne arena and practice courses are accessible by buying the ground pass which is a cheaper option then buying a ticket to a match in rod lave arena if you don't mine not seeing the world's top tennis player in rod lav arena a big issue is transport once a match finishes trains will be full and so will trams if you are close to the arena it is recommended to walk especially when it's a big match or raining but overall Australia Open is exceptional and definetley a experience to remember

Great time out with the family

Lovely park

Parking is easy

No parking around

Gosch paddock you can watch the professional afl player.

Nice park

Cant wait to go there again

great place for running.

Aussie Tennis Open... A magic experience!

Very pleasant atmosphere

Pretty and good for small short walks

Great facility

Sports facilities here are fantastic

Awesome place to visit

Great place for tennis enthusiastic

(Translated by Google) Love this great place to watch the best tennis in the world (Original) Ame este lugar excelente para ver el mejor tenis del mundo

In January when the Aussie Open is on, there's no better place to be!

Great

Excellent concert and facilities.

One of the best places around Melbourne to go have some fun.

Great facilities for a very reasonable membership fee!

(Translated by Google) Great (Original) Super

Australian heaven for tennis

Sooo good!

The Australian Open should be on everybodies bucket list.

Great venue. Easy parking.

Hard to get on courts and to see who is actually training as the timetables over run, could do with more seats for big names

(Translated by Google) I was pleased to receive three AP tennis balls??? (Original) Zadovoljen saj sem bil deležen treh AP tenis žogic???

Saw queen in concert

(Translated by Google) Must visit during Australian Open! Arguably the four most accessible Opens It looks like a large tennis amusement park Stay bored all day! (Original) 澳網期間必訪！ 可以說是最易達的四大公開賽 裡面像個大型的網球遊樂園 待一整天都不覺得無聊！

Great sports ground with excellent seating near the m.c.g.

Wasn't a fan of no camera policies but otherwise a good event held..

What a great experience!! Australian Open!!

My local, with a good range of stock.

Really enjoyed watching Melbourne City play Perth and the food was also amazing before and during half time. Perfect stadium

Great for Pinic, walk, relax

Good to host sporting events at

Lots of places to eat, have a drink or just in general hang out at if you love tennis. You'll need a ground pass to get in, and you can watch the match on the big screen with your bevy. Recent restrictions may have destroyed the spirit of the place a tad bit, but looking forward to seeing it in all its glory in the coming years!

Great concert arena. Elton John was just awesome. Then it transforms back to suit the Australian Open Tennis Grand Slam event in January.

Love this venue! Went to the Australian Open here last month. The facility is really nice and the food they had was delicious.

The basketball game was exciting .weather horrid but warm and comfortable indoors .food good for stadium take out . Thanks for the entertainment .family day out .Covid free ♥️

My favorite for morning walk. It gives me a fresh start to the day. 😌💛

Watching tennis live was such an amazing experience, and the staff and the place for as all amazing, loved the experience.

Difficult to find if you never been there However. We got free parking. The main thing. We were impressed. With images boulevard. 10/10 ...I'm Happy 😊

Melbourne Park Tennis, home of the only Grand Slam in the southern hemisphere. (New show court pictured)

What a fantastic venue, clean, update. Attended basketball, what fantastic venue and event

Kiss concert. Massive show 👏 💯. Tickets sourced easily. Entry easy. Exit a bit busy, but out in 5 mins. Comfy seat. All in all a memorable occasion. No complaints from me.

Great sport venue. Great entertainment venue. Helpful staff if need help to find your way around. Been many times over last 15+ years and I don't recall any bad experiences... Must be a good thing right?

Comfortable place to watch sport. Parking in the area can be a challenge, especially if you have a disability. Boom early. Most of the lower level is not under cover in the NRL configuration, with most of the seats for those with a disability on that level not covered. Accordingly rain is not your friend.

I visited Margaret Court Arena for a concert and the venue didn't disappoint. It had easy access from the car park, and the staff were courteous and helpful. The stage was easy to see from middle row seats, and there were no long cues at the bar of food outlets. Overall a great experience!

Had a the privilege of attending the State Schools Spectacular at John Cain Arena . The show was amazing and a huge credit to everyone involved.

The best facility in the world. Sporting Capital of the World Great for any event - concerts, basketball, tennis, cycling …

Big night as usual so I wonderd off from the pack and found my self a quite chill venue best views Of the city

Great complex with heaps of sporting arenas. I've been to soccer, basketball and tennis events as well as music concerts within the complex and all are handled well with ample public transport nearby and lots of conveniences within the complex including first aid, restaurants and bathrooms.

Melbourne Park and Rod Laver Arena is five stars as a venue, but the food in the bar upstairs is one star. Over priced and disgusting. Ordered 3 meals and received 1 set of cutlery. The server noticed this, but never provided other sets, just took off. The chips were under cooked and soggy, cost $10.50.

Went there for a health and safety conference, great set up. Great catering and I enjoyed the venue.

Australian open is a World class show case experience to watch live tennis, Credit must goes to tennis Australia to organised this wonderful event every year in January.

Great tennis venue. Lots going on and I love the children's playground as the first thing past the gates.

I love tennis and there is no a better place to enjoy tennis whether you are here to play or watch. It’s my favourite 😍 place in Melbourne along with MCG. Rod Laver Arena is just fabulous

Melbourne Park was great, the Australian Open was a fantastic experience. The event was wheelchair accessible and accommodating throughout.

A mix use sport facility. Vibrant ambience with music played outdoors. Easy place to hangout with friends and attend events

Went to the Michael Buble concert. The venue is great for concerts once you are in. Unfortunately, there is not enough seating around the food areas. it really lets the experience down. If you can't afford or foget to book the restaurant eat outside.

Great atmosphere in the stadium was there for the Fifa world cup the security and workers were fantastic was a awesome night 🌙

Attended the Evanescence concert here. Great space!

The atmosphere was fantastic. Only downside was cloaking too far away from main arena

Watched the NHL Global series game at Rod Laver Arena. Was wicked! Good viewing from all seats. Facilities good for a sports stadium. Just needs rum on offer at the bar.

This was my first time going there to watch my son play tennis. Parking was easy, staff were friendly, amenities were clean. Plenty of merchandise to purchase and the coffee smelt good, although I didn't get to try one!

We went to Rod Laver Arena for Ice Hockey Game. Great seats, good selection of drinks and food to choose from too.

Melbourne City 4 - Western Sydney Wanderers 3 🚀 IT WAS ABSOLUTELY A GOAL feast at this afternoons A-Leagues women's game. 🤯 👏 @hollymcnamara__ 🩵#9 scored ⚽⚽⚽ amazing goals and was awarded the player of the match! Melbourne City FC #MCYvWSW

Came here for Australian open. Facilities are quite clean and easy to find direction. Staff are friendly.

Surrounded by many Stadiums and was at AAMI PARK to watch the Christmas Derby between Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City. AAMI PARK was well kept during the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 but was disappointed during this Derby Visit, recently. Many seats were STAINED with POO ( from Sea Gull) thus rendering these SEATs to be UNFIT for sitting.. disgusting indeed 😡 Other than that the crowd was awesome and the Derby Game was full of excitement.

We went to Mushroom 50th concert there and had a great time.

If you are a sports lover you must visit this place. Football fields, footy, tennis, cricket and more. It also has great views of the city and the river to take photos. You can walk there day or night, both times it's amazing and even train there!!!!
