Take the train for the easiest access, especially during major events. Arrive early to explore Kingsland’s bars and eateries, or visit during Eden Park’s free Open Day weekends, which are great for families and children.

The stadium is largely cashless, so bring an EFTPOS or contactless payment method for food, drinks and merchandise.

There is no general public parking on major event days, and surrounding streets are often restricted, so planning ahead is recommended.
