Experience the thrill of Eden Park like never before with expanded 2025 tours, offering exclusive behind-the-scenes access and unforgettable moments at New Zealand’s iconic stadium!

As a multi-purpose, hybrid stadium, Eden Park goes beyond hosting premier sporting events. It is a vibrant cultural hub that also caters to concerts and a wide variety of events. In addition to its rich history, the stadium now features impressive artwork throughout its grounds, including the viral Travis Scott mural inside the players’ tunnel, which has garnered an incredible 16.7 million views on TikTok. This exciting addition offers an entirely new element to the tour experience.

Your journey through Eden Park will lead you into the legendary players' tunnel, adorned with murals of some greats. Step into the coach's box, where you can imagine the high-stakes decisions that shape an All Blacks game. Capture breathtaking photos with unparalleled views of the stadium, soak in the vibrant atmosphere of the iconic changing rooms (once the green room for stars like Coldplay and Luke Combs), and walk on the historic No. 1 field, where countless unforgettable moments have unfolded.

Whether you're organising holidays for a sports enthusiast, a concertgoer, or those simply seeking a memorable experience, Eden Park offers a unique opportunity to connect with New Zealand's sporting and cultural heritage. Don’t let your clients miss the chance to experience a stadium like no other.

REMINDER - Eden Park is a stop on the Explorer Bus Route so it’s easy to get there!
