Why it's worth checking out
The Australian Space Discovery Centre sits at Lot Fourteen on North Terrace in the heart of the Adelaide CBD, on the city's grand cultural boulevard. A much-loved space-science attraction — connected to the Australian Space Agency — it's a genuinely fascinating destination, with interactive exhibits, displays and experiences exploring space, science and Australia's role in space exploration.
The appeal is that combination of engaging, interactive space exhibits and an inspiring, educational experience: from displays and hands-on exhibits to the story of Australia's space industry, it's a fascinating, family-friendly outing for kids, space enthusiasts and the curious, right in the heart of the city's cultural precinct. Its blend of science, discovery and interactivity makes it a genuine highlight.
