Explore the history of Australian railways in this engaging museum. You will encounter numerous displays of various railway artifacts and see steam and diesel trains at work.

Lots of trains available for climbing into and seeing how past generations travelled by rail. There is also a little tourist track train so the kids feel that they have had a ride and the big kids get an overview of the trains restored here.
2. South Australian Maritime Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 241 reviews
The Maritime Museum sits in South Australia's first heritage precinct. It presents exhibitions over three floors of an 1850s bond store, the South Neptune Lighthouse and the steam tug Yelta. The Museum is fresh and interactive and makes history relevant to a popular audience.

This museum has a variety of very well displayed exhibits, some interactive, ranging from mock up bunks and toilet in a migrant sailing ship, beach wear and dolphins, to a replica ketch. It’s on several floors but there is a lift. There’s something to see and do for all ages and the entry costs are reasonable. There’s a nice little shop but parking close by can be a problem when the area is busy.

The three of us did a brewery tour on a Saturday night a couple weeks ago with the well-informed & passionate beer loving tour guide Matty. He went above and beyond and gave us the full tour of the brewery. A great insight into the beer processes, would recommend!
4. Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 18 reviews
The Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary is located only 12 km from the City of Adelaide, offering a majestic wildlife experience like no other. This busy industrial and commercial port is home to exuberant wildlife, including many rare bird species, fish, a 10,000-year-old mangrove forest, and a community of bottlenose dolphins, with over 400 dolphins visiting over the years.

I’ve done lots of kayaking tours but this one beats them all. Wild dolphins playing, hunting and mating right in front of us. You’re not allowed to chase them but they can come quite close on their own - they got as close as three or four meters several times. The dolphins are only one highlight. Kayaking up a mangrove creek and inspecting a huge shipwreck were really cool too. Super nice and knowledgeable guide. Just an outstanding day. I recommend hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and maybe moxie spray (for when you’re in the creek)

This venue is an absolute hidden gem in Port Adelaide. From the outside you look at it and could easily turn around and drive off! Nooo....it is absolutely worth a visit....and its full of South Australian history, and...its all run via Volunteers. Although its a little bit out of the way from the Port city center.... its a short drive.(5 minutes). Now I have ticked the box 2-3 hours and we spent just over 2 hours there, and could have been long if not having to get to the pub before the kitchen closed. I have to say, that it is weird to look at...tow converted containers and what looks like a ruined vessel....looks are deceiving Not only are the Vollies extremely knowledgeable, but they also give you personalized tours(in our case just the 2 of us but a group came off before us) of INSIDE the vessel. Slowly but surely the Vollies are doing it up...back to as close as possible to what it was originally. Its a piece of history...in my view the No1 thing to do in Port Adelaide. .. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED....PLEASE VISIT AND YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED..REASONABLE PRICE...CHECK IT OUT ON FACEBOOK .....
