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.

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.
Reviewed By 353bobd - Adelaide, Australia
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.

An amazing aviation museum and a credit to the volunteers who keep it going. A place to take your time while wandering around, as you will keep finding things to look at. Not just aircraft large and small, but lots of smaller exhibitions to look at and pour over. Very glad we took the time to visit.

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!

As I saw a “Free Bike Hire” sign, I went in to make an inquiry for my friend. I was very surprised to hear that they have no restrictions but require a photo ID and a secondly ID. They provide a helmet and a lock and you can ride all day and return the bike by 5pm. A friendly and helpful staff gave me a map of Port Adelaide heritage area and a couple of maps for cycling and walking in Adelaide. I called on the following day about the age limit, as at Xi’an City Wall in China, they didn’t allow those over 65 to hire bicycles for their safety (i.e., to prevent from falling and breaking bones). But here in Adelaide it’s up to the persons to make decisions.

These markets have been around for many years. It is a pleasant way to spend as much time as you want looking at typical market style stalls. Plenty of room between stalls to allow for social distancing. The Old Port has some interesting things to look at and certainly worth driving out to Port Adelaide to have a look.

With the redevelopment of the old Pt Dock centre, we now see a birth of a bright modern shopping precinct emerging from the old rundown graffitied area it used to be halfway through a two-year project the new "Pt Adelaide Plaza" as it is now called when fully finished it will be a modern mid-sized shopping that will be central to the Pt Adelaide's northern community, a section opening from April this year included Aldi, Coles, Kmart, various restaurants from breckie's! to quick snacks, or just a coffee & more shops & venues will open as the project comes to a conclusion early 2020 along with this development will also attract a whole new business centre to take Pt Adelaide into the 21 century.
