The Art Gallery of South Australia is an art museum in Adelaide, founded in 1881. General entry costs nothing, so you can come for an hour and leave when attention runs out. Children can make things in the interactive Studio, and Curiosity Tours let a family explore the collection at its own pace; there are also free guided tours led by a Gallery Guide. Backpacks and large bags go in the free cloakroom by the entrance, and AGSA_eat by the sunny courtyard covers lunch, with The Deli taking walk-ins. It is a five-minute walk from Adelaide Railway Station. The trade-off is noise: there are no dedicated quiet spaces, so the gallery suggests bringing ear defenders and heading for the quieter, less busy rooms or the courtyard if a child needs a break.
