Finding RoofClimb

Enter Adelaide Oval by the South Gate on War Memorial Drive and register at the RoofClimb Centre, in the south-west corner of Level 1 of the Riverbank Stand.

• By train or on foot: the Riverbank Footbridge links the oval with Adelaide Railway Station and North Terrace.
• By car: the oval has two car parks run by Wilson Parking, entered from Pennington Terrace and from King William Road.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Lockers for your belongings, as nothing loose is carried on the roof.
• A climb suit and harness for every climber.
• A printed group photo and a RoofClimb cap to take home.
• Koffee Ink Café at the southern entrance, open on weekdays.

Check in at least 15 minutes before your climb, in flat, fully enclosed rubber-soled shoes. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

RoofClimb is not accessible by wheelchair or walking aids; Adelaide Oval’s stadium tours are. Climbers must be over 125 cm tall and no more than 136 kg, climbers aged 75 or over need a doctor’s clearance form, and anyone 20 weeks or more pregnant cannot climb.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask RoofClimb staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the climb thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Follow your RoofClimb Leader’s instructions, stay clipped to the handrail and carry nothing loose.
• Smoking and animals are not permitted on the site.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

Anyone with a blood alcohol reading of 0.05% or more cannot climb: everyone is breath-tested at check-in.

Make time for a pause

Koffee Ink Café at the oval’s southern entrance opens on weekdays, and North Terrace and the riverbank have more cafés and restaurants nearby.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Phones, cameras, jewellery and watches stay in your locker during the climb.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: go to the South Gate on War Memorial Drive and register at the RoofClimb Centre at least 15 minutes before your climb.
• Dress for exploring: flat, fully enclosed rubber-soled shoes and comfortable clothes for the weather under the climb suit.
• Leave space to linger: allow about two hours from check-in to the end of the climb.
