Booked in for the 90min tour which was enjoyable only saw a fraction of the site as it is so large. Knowledgeable guide who is an up & coming athlete. Disappointing to see some sports like volleyball that don’t get virtually any Govt funding where as other sports such as basketball get a lot of money & athletes are fully subsidised. Worth the small fee.

Did the $20 tour. 90 min. Young contender Keely Small (800m) and her even younger long jump peer (Katie? with stress fractures) took little old me around the facilities. That was more fun than the actual facilities. I got to pick their brains. Very mature and engaging girls. From the bus stop i walked past the green machine training oval and the boys were going thru drills. Good morning for sports nuts like me.

Pass is a Christmas present..however actually not an actual "pass" but just confirmation of booking with price included which is not so good so far as giving a gift..otherwise satisfactory. meg

Interesting tour. You tour around all the sporting areas used by the AIS scholarship athletes. Just dont eat at the cafe, overpriced and not very nice.

My 12 year old daughter’s choice of what to see in Canberra, she loves sports unlike her mother, however saying that I (her mother) actually found it interesting and appreciate the dedication and time that our elite athletes put into their training and sporting careers. Found it interesting about the difference in funding and facilities between the different sports. It’s a 90 minute tour with one of the athletes, which included 30 minutes of interactive games which all 3 children enjoyed and wished it was longer!

No wonder our athletes do so well...this is a very interesting experience to see how hard they train...

Great place to see all the hard work our athletes go through. Your was great but it would of been good to see some of the ovals and fields. Tour was worth it.

having bought the "3 in fun pass" our first call was at the Australian Institute of sport. The chance to involve yourself in some of the Olympic events was mind boggling. The tour guide was incredible with the knowledge he espoused.before we knew it, the tour had finished. Questacon was our next call, we only loaded the parking meter for 3 hours which was up in about 20 minutes. Cockington green was to be the final destination but we were side tracked by the dynasors and the day had been spent. Fortunately we have 12 months to use the pass and can then revisit one of the places again. Suggestion, Allow a full day for Questacon by itself. This pass is value for money

We did the 90 minute tour with Jenny. This tour is quite good the first part is quite fun with you being able to play a few sports like the Champs then onto a variety of facilities within the complex whilst it had been a considerable amount of years since my last visit this place has certainly expanded and we found the tour quite interesting. Good luck Jenny hope your Olympic dreams become a reality you added a personal insight into what some of our athletes do to become champions.

If you’re looking to take a school group, stay there at your own peril. We were absolutely disgusted with our experience there. Dining hall - mostly nice staff, but the main woman was rude, obnoxious and had an unjustified air of self importance. Didn’t allow teachers who spent breakfast looking after children take a piece of toast out of the dining hall. Teachers went hungry instead. Food was good, not great. Disappointing. Kitchenhands were rude and ignored staff and attempted to discipline students (inappropriately of course, and in a way that undermined teachers). Also be aware that if any student is sick they have to be quarantined for 48 hours- not allowed in dining hall, and staff attempted to put an 11 year old child by themselves in a room when they were sick. Rooms are dated, students have to share 3 toilets between 24. Beds are thin, no air con, and water temp and pressure in bathroom varies from freezing cold to burning hot. Was charged for the price of a new mattress because one mattress got wet with water. They have no clue what it’s like to look after kids. Might be ok if you have high school kids, but I don’t know why they even allow primary school kids when they are completely ill-equipped to meet their needs. Worst Canberra camp experience we have ever had. We will never stay there again and would not recommend it to anyone.

We took a group of approx 50 year 9 students to the AIS whilst on a school visit to Canberra. The staff at the AIS were excellent and more than happy to answer the plethora of questions the kids had. Even the non sporty kids really enjoyed the visit, in particular watching the athletes train and then the fun of the experience centre. I would strongly recommend the AIS as a place worth visiting for adults and teens.

An informative tour with a young member of the AIS. This tour runs for approximately 90 minutes and shows you all aspects of the institute.

We visited the AIS with our two young children at the very end of the school holidays- there were lots of touring school groups, and it was very busy. Our tour guides were athletes at the AIS and were very knowledgable about the AIS. We spent the first half hour in Sportex, a interactive sports display. It was fun, but a few things were broken and we ended up being in there with another large school group of about 60 kids. As a result, we were not able to try out all of the displays. We then went in to the training centres- the pool, basketball courts, volleyball and gymnastics. It was great to see these spaces, but there were not many athletes around which was a bit disappointing. Overall , it was an informative visit but a bit overpriced for what we got.

I attended three days of conference here. Very relaxed free parking and easy finding the venue. Good facilities and well worth considering as a conference venue in Canberra

We attended the Sunday morning tour, which meant that it was nice and quiet! Tour guide was very informative yet relaxed! We felt $20 was a fair price for 90 mins, as it was a Sunday there were no athletes training so something to bare in mind! Also make sure you wear your active wear for the Sportex area where you can get hands on with some simulators!
