Eden Park Tours
Originally a natural amphitheater formed by a nearby volcano, the hallowed ground of Eden Park stadium is home to the All Blacks, NZ’s national rugby team, and is the largest sports stadium in the country. On this backstage tour, you’ll have the opportunity to go sit in the coach’s hot seat, visit the players’ changing rooms, walk out onto the field and see the stadium’s best-kept secrets (like its legendary “rock room”). Not just for sports fans, this 90-minute tour also examines the stadium’s historic and cultural role, as well as its architecture and engineering. For adrenaline junkies, there’s the Sky Sport Rooftop Tour ★—a walk 110 feet over the field, which offers unparalleled views of Mt Eden, One Tree Hill, and the Waitākere Ranges. You’ll be rewarded for your bravery with a photo of you hanging out of the turf. Soon, a one-of-a-kind zipline will be added to Eden Park’s lineup of attractions, where you can fly across the stadium’s seats.
