About Young Explorers

Our popular Young Explorers program is designed especially for children aged 3 to 5, offering them an interactive experience inspired by the stories, objects and spaces of the South Australian Museum. Experienced educators use play experiences to engage the senses, incorporating story, song, movement, rhyme, observation, and exploration in each session.

You can find videos of some of our programs on our website here.

Our Young Explorer Terms & Conditions:

This program has been specially designed for children aged 3 to 5 years – if you are bringing an accompanying sibling less than 3 years of age, please care for your younger child to allow the older sibling to fully enjoy the program.

We ask that parents or carers stay with the child for the session, but you do not need to book a ticket.

If you have any Access needs or enquiries, please email programs@samuseum.sa.gov.au
