MOD is presented as a place that is educational for children and I initially was really enjoying my time here with my wife and two young children. I'm all for educating them in the field of science and I encourage them to form opinions and wonder about the scientific world. What I wasn't ready for however, was the room upstairs that was themed around the upcoming referendum about the voice to parliament. In the corner there was a tablet on a pedestal that had two videos on loop. One of the videos featured an indigenous "comedian" that was constantly dropping the f bomb in his stand up routine. This was otherwise a small, quiet room that was set up with pens and pencils on tables that included post-it notes for kids to draw pictures and write messages to visitors. I found myself constantly having to strangely raise my voice during parts of the video when he was swearing just so my kids wouldn't hear the obscenity. The video was transcribed on screen and the f bomb was censored but the audio wasn't, and it was clearly audible in this small, secluded room. This is totally unacceptable for a place that is marketed as an educational venue for kids of all ages.

Kids like the MOD very much. MOD at the UniSA is Australia's leading futuristic museum of discovery, provoking new ideas at the intersection of science, art and innovation. With dynamic changing exhibition programs, MOD inspires kids about science and technology, showcasing how research shapes our understanding of the world to inform the future. MOD is a free science experience. It’s Australia’s boldest and South Australia’s only interactive public science and creativity space. There are seven purpose built gallery areas over two floors, a cafe shop and lecture theatre.

Good cause it'd free. Wouldn't pay for it

I was not ready for what an amazing place this was to visit. Definitely pop it in the must list. They do change the exhibits. Follow us Sweet-Az RV'n on youtube

Omg! How did I not know this was here?! Nerd mum here, totally the target market for this lol! My kids absolutely LOVED our visit today. Every exhibit made them make that wow face that surprised kids do, and not much does that now they are older (9, 10, 11). We are so looking forward to coming back for your next exhibit, and super happy to have made it (on the closing day!) to this one. Fabulous work guys, thankyou for having this fabulous activity for the kids of Adelaide!

A little bit small, but still a very nice museum. Good for children and also adults. There is a gallery especially about geography and climate change, in which people can learn about things such as how much the Earth’s temperature is rising, how much that will impact fishery, how much rainfall is reduced or increased, etc. in an interactive way. Technologies are integrated to make the lessons more interesting. Cool interactive Earth globe, which many children may find attractive and want to explore.

Always love coming here. Every exhibit is always amazing

Such a nice science-based museum which is suitable for both children and adults with some interesting areas to be explored. It might be a little bit small, but the items are worth visiting for once at least. The staff was welcoming and friendly.

Great range of educational information from AI, geography, indigenous culture and Climate change. An interactive experience worth checking out. This installation ends today, hopefully they will have another interesting installation in 2023.

Free interactive exhibitions exploring current and topical themes suitable for both children and adults. Located close to public transport in Central Adelaide. Staff are welcoming and friendly. There’s an on-site cafe and bathroom facilities.

What an incredible place. I didn't even know it was here but I'm so glad I visited. The exhibits are thought provoking and visually interesting. Check it out.

Wow, love the range of interactive exhibits, that challenge and enrich the soul. Great for the whole family

Another free thing to visit while you are visiting Adelaide. Exhibitions are for all of the family

Excellent layout and exhibitions. Staff at every corner were very helpful. Lots of interactive activities too. I took my toddler who loved it, although I'd suggest leaving them at home if you want the time yourself to fully immerse yourself into the messages behind each exhibition - it's certainly aimed at an older audience. I've recommend it to all my friends to go and see.

Small but interesting exhibit! The whole around room screen are interactive to educate people sea pollution and beautiful reef in danger. The interactive massive earth display all sorts of environmental information visually to raise awareness for our environment. And it’s free! No cost at all.

Free access. The whole family will like this interactive exhibition.

Amazing and immersive experience. Definitely suggest visiting!

This is a pretty cool place ever that i have been to Adelaide🥰 There are lots of things you can do here and it's all about the future things. The Seven siblings areas are very fantastics. The tip for everyone who come here for the first time is dowload the "Seven siblings" app because this app is very useful. This app is use for scan the numbers of each places you visit there and it will show you which sibling is match with your character. It will took you 1 hour and a half - 2 hours to visit all the museum.

As name suggests it’s modern type of place. Science, medical, physic, robotics. Not really big but enough for an hour or two. Located in city. Parking can be issues but catching tram 🚃 is best to be there.

Very interactive and educational. Staff were really helpful and explained exhibitions to us. Enjoyable by the whole family

A museum with a focus on science, tech and innovation as opposed to nature and history like the the typical museum. Quite a few interactive and different exhibits to see however is quite small. Overall a clean and neat place but I would not put it on the “must see” list if visiting Adelaide for a few days.

One of my favourite places to visit in the city. The only downside is the exhibits don't change often enough

This Museum is such a go-to place if you want to learn more about science, including space, research, and past and modern technology. Good for family specially for children. 💛

If you are someone interested in stars and astronomy or someone who likes to explore art then it is a place I would recommend you to visit.

Mod Museum: Free, interactive, and captivating for all ages, blending modern themes seamlessly into an engaging experience. My children ask to come therr every vacation term.

Love this place. A good place to reinforce or introduce to space or planets. ❤️❤️❤️

Definitely interesting and I enjoyed the direction of the exhibit, but I left feeling like I was wanting something more. Regardless, I think it’s a great spot to spend a quick hour if you have some free time. Worth a visit.

It was good to see a modern technology/science museum in SA as we usually rely on interstate and overseas visits for these places. It wasn’t big, but enough to spend about 45 mins wandering around the areas to look, watch, interact. Lovely staff and nice modern clean place.

Staff are nice. It’s free.Very educational and worth a visit.

Absolutely brilliant place. Staff/volunteers are super nice. My 5 year old son loved it and was encouraged by staff to try everything out. Highly recommended.

Fun for kids aged 5 and up 😁 great interactive science based fun 🥰

This is one of those Adelaide gems that you makes you wonder why it's not busier. Really fantastic experience, especially with kids and you can catch a free tram right to the front doors. Highly recommend a visit.

Great little interactive museum for kids.

Visited with our 2 kids & although the exhibits were interesting there were far too many people which didn't follow covid restrictions & there were bus loads of kids meaning the interactive components were not usuable. Cafe was closed on a weekend which is very strange, we would have love to grab a drink & souvenir & spend more time but it just wasn't worth it. Really disappointing.

Nice small exhibition. I enjoyed the visit.

A surprise visit here, and well worth it, lots of interactive activities and for all ages. We will go again. As its a hands on experience, there are several hand sanitation stands, but these only work if they are regularly serviced, unfortunately, 2 of 3 stations were out of hand sanitiser. Simple fix, manager, manage!

This is a superb museum! One of my favourites! I especially enjoy the exhibits combining science & art. This museum always inspires me whenever I visit. Highly recommended for all lovers of art, design, science, environment. Lots of interactive exhibits also. Great place for both adults and kids.

These are just one of the many things that are being exhibited, the staff are very friendly and helpful without getting in the way of your exploration. Excited to see the next exhibit here!

Perhaps I'm being too harsh here, but there were 5 exhibits that I got through in an hour. As a museum AND art nerd, I'm disappointed. I usually spend days in museums and this to me seems like a place you take your kids to touch a few animated screens then cover yourself in their free sanitizer and leave. It didn't feel organised and the art was chaotic. No signs to read or information about the artists/their inspiration/interpretation of the art. Very very random.

It's a good place where you can interact and learn about technology and about your body

This is a great place to visit and experience some interesting exhibits. It's not too big and doesn't take a long time, so well worth to stop while exploring the city. And it's free!

Excellent effort by Uni SA, students and lecturers. What an amazing experience for the whole family. Loved each exhibits. Extremely informative and fun filled. I suggest these kind of exhibitions should get promoted and advertised on a much bigger platform, so that everyone will experience and enjoy it, along their loved ones. Schools should organise excursion for their students. Its a knowledgeable and interesting exhibition. Keep it up👍

Grab a coffee from their Lorde cafe and take it with you around the exhibition. Great experience.

Amazing museum offering a totally different and unique experience!
