The Migration Museum is an incredible place to visit.
The expansive collection of history and the interactive displays at the SA Migration Museum are just incredible. There’s so much to see, explore, learn and discover. The Migration Museum is all about preserving South Australia’s diverse history of cultures and the museum offers many different displays throughout the year. It’s a great place for kids to learn about their own history, SA culture and the importance of multiculturalism.
The museum offers free admission for the public and is open daily from 10am to 5pm and they also run a great school holiday program – visit our SCHOOL HOLIDAY GUIDE to find out what’s on.

Trains! What else do kids want to see? My nephews are entranced by trains of ANY kind and whenever they visit Adelaide this is a place they adore. The National Railway Museum in Port Adelaide is an awesome place to check out Australian railway history through interactive educational activities, climbing into the cabs of trains, taking free train rides and comparing the old steam trains to the trains of today. There's even a really cool mini railway! Our Mr 3 LOVES it at the National Rail Museum and often asks to go - it's a great day out with his Dad and Grandad especially, who seem to enjoy the visits almost as much as the kids do! We can't get away with a visit, without going on the little steam train, but everyone seems happy with their ride and hearing the train whistle along the way is definitely a highlight! The National Railway Museum is well worth a look, and is very reasonably priced. It is suited to children of any age, but probably most enjoyable for ages 2-13. There's a lot to discover and learn at the museum and I highly recommend a visit in the school holidays when…

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. image credit amosa.org.au Opening HoursMonday and Wednesday 11am to 2pmSunday 12 Noon to 4pmClosed on Public Holidays Admission PricesAdults $5 Concession $3 Children (6 and over) $2 Family $12 Servicing Defence Members (with ID) FREE For more information visit www.amosa.org.au

The Maritime Museum collection began in 1872 to preserve, explore and celebrate the human history of our oceans and rivers. It is Australia's oldest nautical collection and also includes new features, such as the Port River Dolphin area. Renowned for its innovative approach to maritime history and education, the Museum incorporates the historic Bond Store with three floors of exhibitions, the Port Adelaide Lighthouse from South Neptune Island, and the much-loved steam tug, Yelta. The museum is further towards the 'Port', but on the same street, as the Aviation Museum and the Railway Museum so you can hit all three in one day if you think your family can handle it! It's probably more suited to school aged children, as there is a lot of information and a interactive aspects to the museum. It has a lot of big things to look at, but many more small aspects that won't suit the younger children. There is a small play area within one of the exhibits on the 2nd level for kids to climb through and investigate. There are stairs up to the second level and down to the basement, but there is also disabled access. maritime.history.sa.gov.au Open 10am - 5pm…
