We enjoyed it so much! Frazier was a fantastic guide. Gave so much information about Adelaide, the city, the history , points of interest, and even taught us a bit about cricket and Australian rules Football. He was not rushed, very relaxed and so comfortable to be with. He seemed to really love his job. We will definitely recommend this activity!!

The Adelaide oval climb was terrific 😁 Well organized, staff put safety first and the views were amazing! Our guide was super knowledgeable and took the time and care to chat to everyone. Thanks to the team. Our family loved the experience and it was wonderful that the kids were able to watch the ground getting ready for Gather round. The city is buzzing.

What a great way to spend a beutiful summer's evening. The climb is safe and well co-ordinated and the guide was fantastic. She knew Adelaide oval and the history of sites around the ground. The views and sunset over the bay were spectacular. Well worth doing this once if you are in Adelaide!

The views and the guide's commentary of our wonderful city was great. It was a very hot day though so we probably were up on the Riverbank viewing platform a touch too long and one person did faint. The guide did handle everything really well though.

    It was a lovely day to be on the roof. The guide was very helpful and was able to capture the moment beautifully
  • There’s nothing quite like standing 50 metres above Adelaide Oval, looking straight down at the pitch from a perspective normally reserved for birds, or the bravest of fans.

    Getting started

    You arrive at the RoofClimb Centre at Adelaide Oval, greeted by the buzz of anticipation. After check-in, you’re fitted with a climbing suit, harness and receive a safety briefing. Your RoofClimb Leader makes sure everyone feels comfortable and ready before stepping out onto the stadium’s rooftop.

    What to expect

    Harnessed securely, your group sets out across a purpose-built walkway above the Oval. Through your headset, your guide points out landmarks, the Adelaide Hills, Torrens River, the sparkling coastline, while weaving in stories of the stadium’s sporting triumphs and cultural legacy. At the lean-out point, you’re clipped in and invited to tip your body out over the Oval. The stadium drops away beneath you. It’s a heart-in-your-throat moment that’s somehow equal parts terrifying and exhilarating, and it’s the memory most climbers talk about long after they’ve come down.

    Features

    • Climb Adelaide Oval’s rooftop: Step onto purpose-built walkways high above the stands for an adventure few ever experience.

    • Breathtaking 360° panoramas: From the rolling Adelaide Hills to the shimmering coastline and the city skyline beneath your feet.

    • The lean-out thrill: Harness in, lean back into open air, and feel the rush of 50 metres of space between you and the pitch.

    • Three ways to see the city: Crystal-clear daytime views, golden sunsets that light up the horizon, or sparkling night climbs capped with a celebratory drink.

    • Stories stitched into the skyline: Hear insider commentary from local RoofClimb Leaders who bring Adelaide’s history, sport, and culture to life.

    • Souvenirs of achievement: Take home a RoofClimb cap, certificate, and complimentary photo pack to relive the moment long after you descend.

    Upgrades

    Your climb feels completely different depending on the time you choose:

    • In daylight, the city sprawls out in crisp detail, with the sun glinting off the River Torrens and the Oval gleaming below.

    • At sunset, the horizon flares gold and pink as the lights of Adelaide flicker awake, making the skyline look almost cinematic.

    • By night, the Oval glows like a stage set under the floodlights, and you finish with a celebratory drink in the Climb Lounge as the city sparkles beneath you.

  • What to bring

    • Wear fully enclosed rubber-soled shoes for grip.

    • Wear comfortable clothing suitable for the weather conditions on the day of your climb.
