South Australian Maritime Museum

“Because we went to the aviation museum first we were entitled to a 25% discount after keeping the validation from the Prior museum also being that I am ex Navy I also got a 25% discount on top of that so wonderful value great air-conditioned building on a hot day and plenty to look at not just about nautical activities in South Australia Australia but Port Adelaide as a Harbour town.”

“Good museum illustrating and explaining the history of maritime life of South Australia, including the lives of the first peoples, explorers/navigators/cartographers/scientists, dolphins, windjammers, shipwrecks, immigrants/colonists and beach and port life. A restored ketch can be boarded and entered. Gift shop has educational books, souvenirs and jewellery. 4.5 stars. A few displays need repair, and the elevator is currently iffy. If you visit one of the four museums in Port Adelaide, you get discounted entry at the others: South Australia Aviation Museum, National Railway Museum and clipper ship "City of Adelaide."”

“The museum is 3 levels . Stree level entry, a floor above and basement . There is a lift or stairs to get between floors. We did the tour in an hour but that was only because it was closing ( we just had to squeeze it in before our holiday ended and we were so glad we did ) . The displays are well set out and many are interactive . There is plenty of well written information . Great little gift shop as well Plus the added bonus of the staff being super friendly , lovely people .”
