Located at historic Keswick Barracks on ANZAC Highway, the Army Museum of South Australia (AMOSA) was established in 1992 when a need to collect and preserve our military history was recognised. Built in 1912, what was originally a stables building is now home to the Museum galleries.
Several other buildings around the base also support the Museum, offering facilities such as general storage, light engineering, library and archival capacity.
It is the only military museum in SA and proudly showcases army equipment, realistic displays of historical campaigns, a large and valuable collection of military medals and special interest displays.

The South Australian Museum is a wonderful place for kids (and adults) of any age to visit. There's so much to explore, learn and discover and the exhibitions are always informative, often interactive and sometimes we feel the need to visit the same exhibition more than once because they are THAT good! Keep an eye on our Kids in Adelaide website, and the museum's website, for upcoming exhibitions. It is definitely a huge place, and once you have visited once or twice, you'll get to know specifically what your kids would like to go back and see next time because its absolutely a place you could go every school holidays and see something new - FREE. Entrance and all activities at the museum are free unless otherwise indicated, and a morning or afternoon spent exploring the museum is always time well spent. Our kids always learn so so much and they will gravitate to the things that interest them really quickly (like the giant squid in our case, we ALWAYS have to say hello to him!) There's heaps of cafe's, coffee shops and lawn areas near the Museum and they often have a big screen or event happening on the…

The South Australian Aviation Museum, located close to the Railway Museum and the Maritime Museum such a kid friendly, fun, informative and hands on place to visit. SAAM has 27 significant Aircraft on display, all of them under cover in our display hangars. Several of our aircraft are the only examples of their type on display in Australia. Most of the aircraft have flown in South Australia at some point in their life and every one has a story and a history. The volunteers are AMAZING and there's SO much to see! Some of the planes are HUGE and you can explore the cockpits of most of them too. There's a large variety of engines, propellers and memorabilia, technical books and films to check out. The museum building used to be in Darwin in the war and was brought to Port Adelaide just after the war ended. The Museum continues to develop through the addition of more displays, restorations and general improvement of presentation and facilities. It remains a totally volunteer organisation. 📷 @jaynie_soundchain_aerwyn (IG) 📷 @jaynie_soundchain_aerwyn (IG) 📷 @jaynie_soundchain_aerwyn (IG) 📷 @jaynie_soundchain_aerwyn (IG) 📷 @jaynie_soundchain_aerwyn (IG) 📷 @jaynie_soundchain_aerwyn (IG) Opening Hours10am to 4pm every day except Christmas Day.
