FIND PORT ADELAIDE

Close to the sea, in Port Adelaide’s historic heart, is the South Australian Maritime Museum.
The Museum opened in 1986 to be acclaimed as one of the finest maritime museums in the world. Since that time well over 1,000,000 people have visited and the Museum has earned its place as one of this state’s great cultural icons.

Your experience begins at the Bond Stores, home to the Museum’s exhibition galleries. In the 1850s these grand spaces were built to hold goods and cargo. Today, they offer a historical journey of revelation, exploration and stimulation. Our aim is to explore South Australia’s connections to the sea and water environments and to make it fun and interesting!

Indoor Skirmish Paintball Sports is exactly what you have been waiting for, the ultimate adrenalin rush game. Your heart is pounding, the adrenalin is flowing like mad, your hands are sweating, the siren goes off and the music starts to pound. You run like crazy to the first barricade and stop, your heart is still pounding like crazy and you look around, suddenly you see someone moving toward you. You pop up and go to take a shot and thump, all you see through your mask is pink, you have been tagged. You are temporarily out. That's Australia's only Indoor Skirmish, the most exciting game. The urban battlefield is a setting of nightmares; a vast cavernous expanse filled with sandbag bunkers, 44-gallon drums and gutted car bodies. Open seven days a week, session times are 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7.30pm and bookings are essential.
