Dolphin Day at the Port
Love dolphins? Love Port Adelaide? Love having a free and fun day out with the kids while learning something too?
Yes? Then, get set for Dolphin Day at the Port. On Saturday 11th April, there'll be heaps to do for all ages.
There'll be free activities for the kids and discounted tickets for dolphin cruises, boat tours and museum entry, as well as information booths from community groups and dolphin conservation organisations.
You'll need the whole day just to do what they've got planned:
• Take a dolphin cruise on the
Dolphin Explorer and get 20% off all adult tickets between 11.30am and 1.30pm
• Get 25% off the normal entry fee at the
SA Maritime museum – a fabulous museum that the kids will just love!
• Take a cruise on the
Archie Badenoch Dolphin Spotter for just $4 (subject to availability)
• Follow the Dolphin Trail to win great prizes including a Swim with Dolphins experience, thanks to Temptation Sailing
• WIN a money can't buy dolphin experience with sanctuary staff during a water patrol
• Free shark obstacle course bouncy castle
• Free dolphin tattoos
• Fun dolphin games and activities
• Meet Splash the Dolphin
• SeaStar Rock will rock it live on stage and much much more!
Visit the information booths, get the kids busy at the 'touch and learn' tables, see the whale disentanglement boat, visit the dolphin activity stalls and after 5pm stick around for a free screening of Happy Feet Two. The movie will start at 6,30pm, but prior to that, the kids can get something to eat, get their faces painted and order some free popcorn.
The
Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary is world famous. It's one of only a few places in the world where wild dolphins live near a major city. There are approximately 300 dolphins who visit, but the area is a permanent home to around 40 resident bottlenose dolphins. They are seen regularly and there is a group of dedicated volunteers who spend countless hours each week watching (and photographing them).
At Dolphin Day, you can learn more about the dolphins and the habitat that they share with us. You can also get
information on how to get yourself or your school involved and become a volunteer.
Check out their
Facebook group and see the fantastic photos that are taken of our wonderful marine friends.
When:
Saturday 11th April, 2015
Where:
Lighthouse Square, Port Adelaide
Suitable for:
the whole family!
Time:
12noon to 5pm.
The free movie screening will start at 6.30pm
How Much:
Most activities are free. There are discounts on the day for the Dolphin Explorer cruises, Maritime Museum entry and cruises on the Archie Badenoch.
Parking:
Port Adelaide is approximately 14kms from the Adelaide CBD in South Australia. Parking in and around Port Adelaide is free. But, sometimes there are time limits. Check the signs and if you're planning on staying for the whole day, I can recommend the big shopping centre carpark behind the corner of Commercial Road and St Vincents Street.
