One of the best things you can do at a football stadium, aside from attending on matchday, is take a tour of the ground – particularly one the calibre of Arsenal's Emirates Stadium.

Behind-the-scenes access, education about the club's past and signed memorabilia are just a few reasons why thousands of Arsenal supporters do just that every season. With that in mind, here is everything you need to know about the Emirates Stadium tour, including opening times and the price of tickets.

Emirates stadium tour tickets: admission prices

The Arsenal stadium tour comes in a wide array of forms, with the North London club offering a total of five different packages, each catering to slightly different experiences.

As is to be expected, the price can therefore vary depending on which option you choose, with the full price list for adults outlined below:

  • Virtual Tour – £8
  • Stadium Tour – £30
  • Matchday Tour – £15-£60
  • Legend Tour – £50
  • VIP Legend Experience – £375

Tickets for children aged between five and 15 range from £10 to £40, while all kids under five are permitted entry free of charge.

It is also worth noting that all Arsenal members will receive a 10% discount upon checkout.

Arsenal stadium tour opening times

The Emirates Stadium tour runs, for the most part, seven days a week, albeit for reduced hours on a Sunday. Of course, the availability of the more extensive tours, such as the VIP Legends Experience, is far more limited and will naturally run less often than others.

Weekdays and Saturdays offer the most time slots, so they may be your best bet when booking online. The exact list of opening times for the Arsenal stadium tour is as follows:

  • Monday-Friday – 9am-6pm (Last entry at 5pm)
  • Saturday – 9am-6pm (Last entry at 5pm)
  • Sunday – 10am-4pm (Last entry at 3pm)

While the above opening times serve as a general rule, it is worth noting that they are subject to change, particularly between the various package options. Therefore, we always recommend booking your Emirates Stadium tours in advance.

How to get to the Emirates Stadium

When travelling to the Emirates Stadium, the best option for the vast majority of people is going to be the London Underground. The closest tube station to the stadium is Holloway Road, located just half a mile from the ground.

However, it is worth noting that this station is closed after Arsenal games, so if you intend on watching the Gunners after your tour, then your best best will likely be the Arsenal Station. Located just one stop after Holloway Road on the Piccadilly line, it is a mere 15-minute walk from the ground.

Another option is Finsbury Park Railway Station – an overground station that has good links to the centre of the city and is also just a 15-minute walk from the Emirates.

For those who prefer to drive, an extensive resident-only parking policy has been enforced in the areas surrounding the ground and as a result, there is very limited parking nearby the Emirates. Instead, a better option may be to park near a tube station further out in the city and complete your journey on the London Underground.

What is there to see on the Arsenal Stadium tour?

While each package will offer slightly different perks, some facilities will be included with each. These include:

  • Changing rooms
  • Players' tunnel
  • Pitchside area
  • Press conference room
  • Trophy cabinet
  • Iconic statues

In addition to the above attractions, packages such as the ‘Legends Tour' will also grant supporters access to features such as a 90-minute guided tour with their chosen legend as a host, as well as a Q&A and signed photo too.

As a result, the duration of each can vary so always consult the official club website to ensure you are well-prepared for your visit.  Irrespective of which package you ultimately decide is right for you, we hope you have a fantastic time during your Emirates Stadium tour.
