Day at the Port
Spend a day in Port Adelaide, exploring the museum and surrounding areas. Explore the historic concepts and develop scientific understandings identified in the Australian Curriculum as you navigate your way around the Port.
Activities include a self-facilitated trail through the museum, navigating from the historic Port Adelaide lighthouse, a hands on play session in our Rockpool play area and an optional Port River cruise on board the historic Archie Badenoch.
Teachers are encouraged to visit the museum prior to an excursion or talk to the DECD Education Manager to develop a learning program specific to your needs.
