Very informative and interactive and something for everyone. Booking the tour gave us a discount at the cafe also.
A good way to spend a couple of hours to learn about the history of the AIS. The guide was very knowledgeable.
Wonderful tour!
Our guide is currently an athlete at the AIS and was a wealth of knowledge. You get to see a fair bit of the place and if you’re lucky enough, some athletes might be training!
Great tour with knowledgable guides. Impressive facilities. Would definitely recommend and good value for money.
A good incite into this facility, especially touring just after the Olympics. We had a well informed guide and is was interactive so kids can enjoy. Fun and informative
Empty halls - boring. No athletes to be seen - boring. Everything we saw could have been a photo, all those facilities for 120 athletes and no evidence of the return on investment. You should be selling the facility to is punters!
Guide was good (WA 1500m swimmer)
Great tour, very informative. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. Would recommend to other families
Seeing all the institutes facilities, playing in the interactive area was great fun for all the family . Watching people playing basketball and volleyball in the training halls . A friendly and knowledgeable guide. A very worthwhile visit .
Seeing all the memorabilia from the past athletes and knowing what the future holds for the athletes and the country going forward.
Enjoyed the immersive activities in the Sportex complex. As a swimmer, loved seeing the aquatic centre. The gym was amazing and we were lucky to see a gymnast practising. A great facility, that I wish existed , while I swam completivly!
We really enjoyed all the information provided for each of the many and varied sections of the AIS that we were shown.
Simon our Tour Guide was an excellent source of knowledge and history of Canberra.
Highlights were:
1.Laying a wreath at the Last Post Ceremony War Memorial
2. Old and New Parliament House
3.Mt Ainslie Lookout
4.All other stops included on tour
Many thanks for an awesome day
Highly recommend
Love ❤️ playing the different activities in the first part of the tour and see how large the training areas are amazing place with lots of photos of the amazing athletes
The guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. On arrival we visited the sport interactive zone but some of the activities were out of order. For a sporting nation our government needs to support its athletes more.
A truly excellent tour with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide! Highly recommended if you are in Canberra.
Interactive zone. Throwing basketballs, kicking goals and wheel chair racing. It was good to see training areas and see Georgia Goodwin, Australia's best gymnast doing a routine in gym.
Recalling athletes from previous years at the peak of their careers. Layout was excellent. Grounds are excellent.
We had such a great experience, the guys where very knowledgeable .
Was great seeing where athletic train,the challenge room was heaps of fun.
Our sin is 6 and he just was amazed by it all.
Thankyou
Very interesting and informative tour with a fun interactive room at the end.
Good tour and great guide. Definately recommend if visiting AIS
It was really interesting and the tour guide was great. It was disappointing though that about half of the activities at the beginning of the tour were broken / out of order so the 45 minutes activities would have been great if everything was working but it wasn't. Needs some TLC.
