Fun & learning
The South Australian Museum is a place for lifelong learning and inspiration. Learning is how we make sense of our world. The South Australian Museum offers a range of vibrant programs with opportunities to learn about science and the natural and cultural world around us.
Early learning
The South Australian Museum has partnered with Raising Literacy Australia and the Little Book Press to provide inspiring learning experiences for our youngest visitors and their families.
The Crocodile Club is a brand new early learning program for the South Australian Museum’s littlest visitors under 5 and their families. And it’s free!

Discovery Centre
The Discovery Centre is a special place for people of all ages to feed their curiosity. The Discovery Centre is open to the public from 10:30am-2:30pm on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Identification help
'What is this rock?’ is a commonly asked question here at the South Australian Museum. To help answer your questions – and celebrate the diversity of the geological world – we’ll be running 'What's That? Wednesdays: Rocks, Minerals and Fossils' on the first Wednesday of most months. Watch this space for upcoming sessions.
If you have a favourite rock or a fossil you'd like to be identified or verified, our expert geologist will be on hand to answer as many queries as possible and help explain these fascinating natural wonders.
