Urimbirra tops our list as the best place in Adelaide to take a school excursion. Preferably best visited by taking a day-trip, Urimbirra is a gorgeous wildlife park about an hour\u2019s drive south of Adelaide. The park is ideal for all ages and perfect for outdoor school trips from primary to tertiary.\u00a0 For the younger kids they can pat a koala, feed a kangaroo and even safely handle a live snake! Urimbirra is also a great place for high school and international students who have never seen native Australian animals in the wild before. Ensure you bring your camera along as you\u2019re destined to grab some great Instagram shots and enjoy an outdoor experience like no other.

The museum offers school activities for a half-day excursion or a full-day field trip and has a range of exhibitions that feature local, national and international displays. For the primary school groups take a look at the giant whale skeletons on the ground floor or the Ngurenderi exhibition full of dreamtime stories sure to capture their imagination. For the older students, the Ancient Egyptian exhibition is a must and is a great educational tool for learning about this very old and unique culture. A special feature of the museum is also the Discovery Centre, perfect for any student to have their tricky questions answered and engage in hands-on displays.

Maybe the kids are also itching to just get away from the classroom and have fun. The Adelaide Botanic Gardens has you covered! This public garden has a plethora of different plants, trees, walkways and large outdoor areas ideal to let you and your students roam about. Best of all the garden is FREE to access and so are guided tours! Don\u2019t forget to check out the popular Bicentennial Conservatory which contains an indoor rainforest and is a popular hit with students of all ages for a great learning experience.

Aimed at primary school children, Narnu Farm is located on Hindmarsh Island and is the ideal farm retreat for kids. Students (and teachers) can stay in farm style accommodation and learn how it was to live in the \u2018old days\u2019. There are a heap of activities for kids such as animal feeding, blacksmithing and hand ploughing. Youngsters can also learn to ride a horse (safely) and then kick back by the bonfire after a hard day\u2019s work. This has to be one of the best school activities available in Adelaide for school aged children!

Situated only 20 minutes north of Adelaide the planetarium is a great indoor option for any school excursion or field trip. Students can become immersed below a realistic simulation of stars, constellations and planets all rising above them at once. Powered using a special star projector, there is the potential to see nearly 5000 stars within the Southern Hemisphere! From school children to university students, all can learn something new here. Workshops and special events are also held during most school holidays.
