With the July school holidays coming up, the History Trust of South Australia has gone all out to find fun things to do in their museums. Some of the activities for kids are free, and the others have only a modest cost. As always, remember that you should book early to avoid disappointment if bookings are required.

School holidays at the South Australian Maritime Museum – Snowmaggedon: The Penguins of Antarctica
Sailing the perilous waters of the Caribbean, it is just another ordinary day of seafaring and skulduggery for the crew of the good ship HMS Griselda. Until they stumble across a very lost penguin called Burt.



Snowmageddon: The Penguins of Antarctica takes you on a voyage to one of the coldest and darkest places on Earth. Join our swashbuckling pirates as they head due south to discover the true meaning of friendship, and what it means to help someone just because you can.

Our chilly children's performance is part of the Winterfest Festival at Port Adelaide. See the show, explore the museum and then head over to Harts Mill for more winter warming wonders including workshops, music and food. Presented by the zany team at Heapsgood Productions for the South Australian Maritime Museum .
