Optus Stadium Tour & City View Lunch

I recently joined the Optus Stadium Tour & City View Lunch and left feeling both impressed and well‑fed. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that combined insider access to one of Perth’s icons with a quality meal overlooking the Swan River. Below are a few highlights and constructive suggestions for future tours.

What I loved

Knowledgeable guide Our guide’s passion for the venue and WA sport shone through every stop. Their anecdotes about stadium design, “behind‑the‑scenes” player areas, and local sporting history made the walk genuinely engaging.

Well‑paced exploration We covered player change rooms, media gantries, the coaches’ box, and premium hospitality suites. Each location had something fresh to discover, so there was never a dull moment.

City View Lunch The post‑tour meal was excellent: fresh produce, generous portions, and a sweeping view across the river to Perth’s skyline—a perfect way to wrap up the outing.

What could be even better

Vacuum noise during the tour I appreciate the need for regular cleaning, but multiple areas had industrial vacuums running while we were trying to hear the guide. A brief pause in cleaning (or scheduling it away from tour windows) would hugely improve the experience.

Tour length Ninety minutes felt slightly long, especially for visitors with tight itineraries or mobility limitations. A streamlined 60‑minute version would still cover the essentials and keep energy levels high.

Introductory A/V segment Starting the tour in one of the stadium’s A/V rooms with a short video—covering Optus Stadium’s construction story, Indigenous design elements, and what we’ll see—would set the stage and build anticipation. It would also make good use of the impressive media facilities you already have.

Summary

Despite the minor distractions, this tour delivers excellent value: deep insight into Australia’s most beautiful stadium, backed by a friendly expert guide and a top‑notch lunch. With a little fine‑tuning around cleaning schedules, run‑time, and a brief intro video, it would be practically flawless.

Thank you for a memorable day, and I look forward to...

Definitely do the Vertigo tour. I was back home to visit my folks and had driven out to have a look at this Optus stadium that everyone keeps raving about. It turns out that you can’t go and explore the place without being on a proper tour so I went home. Two days later both my parents were driving me to insanity at home so I started googling for high places to jump off of…(haha jk) no- I decided I needed some time to myself but given I had a couple of recent injuries I didn’t want to do anything too extreme. I booked the vertigo tour for a beautiful Perth day and WOW. The first part of the tour was interesting and well paced giving plenty of info about the stadium and some nice views and perspectives without being too slow. Once I got handed over to Mark it was like id come to catch up with an old mate for a bit. He’s a lovely fella. He’s customer focussed and personable but mostly he’s someone you’d send your kids to go and do activities at height with without a second thought. The feeling of exposure and grandiosity at the D shaped platform should be enough to excite even the coolest customers and for people who like to have millions of photos of everything don’t worry, although you wont be able to use your own phone you will get plenty of pics. If you’ve got that glorious Perth weather and a spare couple of hours in Perth, this tour is excellent. (And I’m not even a...

I have been skydiving and enjoyed other 'extreme activities' but this is absolutely BRILLIANT! The entire team go out of their way to make it an incredible experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a beautiful smile by Maia on Reception. Bella guided us through the experience and was super knowledgeable. We were shown the instructional video, then assisted with harness setup and super interesting information on the stadium and surroundings. She allowed us time to enjoy the views of the river, bridge and city and took lots of fun, happy snaps for us as well. Matt and Kat then took us out onto the platform. They made us feel so safe and reassured with their thorough guidance, instructions and careful setting up of the harnesses. Everyone was an absolute expert, no stone left unturned. They made it so much fun and we all challenged ourselves and pushed beyond our comfort zones, which was really exhilarating. Thank you to Bella, Kat, Matt and the team for such an epic experience. We came to celebrate my Dad's 70th birthday and it was just...
