This attraction in the heart of Adelaide city is FREE to enter and wander around as you please. The Gardens are home to species of plants unique to South Australia, Australia and from across the world. Probably the most popular (and eye catching) icon of the gardens however is the Bicentennial Conservatory. Within the conservatory is a purpose built rainforest. Keep your eyes and ears open for some truly unique bird life and plant-life you won\u2019t find anywhere else in Adelaide. The building in particular is so special because of its unique exterior shape and is also the largest single span conservatory in the Southern Hemisphere.

Just a stone\u2019s throw away from Adelaide city, the old Adelaide gaol sits in the suburb of Thebarton and is the perfect place to visit for any crime or history buff. The gaol was originally operational from 1841 \u2013 1988 and made it one of Australia\u2019s longest serving prisons for this very reason. Throughout the gaol\u2019s history about 300,000 inmates were contained within its walls including 45 inmates who were unfortunate enough to be executed under Her Majesty\u2019s ruling. The gaol also executed the only woman ever to be executed in South Australian history. A favourite for many gaol and crime enthusiasts too, is the popular Adelaide Gaol Ghost tour. This does cost above $15 per tour, however it value for money and well worth a purchase if you like to be scared out of your wits! Photo by Adelaide Gaol<\/a>.
