They're the best seats in the house, where the seagulls gather to watch footballers fly or dodge the occasional Big Bash cricket ball.

A jaw dropping 50 metres above the vivid green expanse of the Adelaide Oval turf, it's also where thrill-seekers can climb skywards for one of the best views in town.

After building one of the top sports stadiums in the country, it seems only natural to add even more excitement with the Commonwealth Bank RoofClimb Adelaide Oval – where punters can clamber over the billowing rooftops of the spectacular grandstands. Equally spectacular are the views, be it during the day or at twilight.

An exciting addition to the day or twilight climb options is Game On! Watch one quarter of an Adelaide Crows or Port Adelaide home game from the top of the Riverbank stand. Of the 50,000 seats to choose from at Adelaide Oval, these 8 are the ones you’ll want to be sitting in.

The guided tour runs for about 2 hours and covers a distance of 1.2 kilometres in total, climbing up and down ladders and multiple flights of stairs, walking on open metal grate walkways and a stepped bridge. Climbers are harnessed and attached to the railing at all times, but you’ll still need to overcome a fear of heights, especially at the peak of the climb on the Riverbank stand. This activity can cost from $99 to $109.
