Australian Institute of Sport
Inside Australia's sporting engine
schedule 1 min read / Updated Jun 2026
The Australian Institute of Sport in Bruce is the nerve centre of Australian elite athletics, a 65-hectare campus where Olympians and world champions train daily. Guided public tours take visitors behind the scenes through world-class facilities, sporting history exhibits, and an interactive hall, offering a rare window into the science and dedication that drives Australia's international sporting success.
Tours run multiple times daily and last around 90 minutes, covering training halls, aquatic centres, gymnastics facilities, and courts used by current national squads. An interactive exhibit lets visitors test their own speed, accuracy, and strength against elite benchmarks, try wheelchair basketball, and explore memorabilia from the Sydney 2000 Olympics and beyond.
Premium experience and athlete immersion packages are available for those wanting a deeper dive, including sessions with high-performance coaches and access to cutting-edge sports science technology. The Visitor Centre is open seven days, and an on-site cafe and merchandise shop round out the experience.
