Last updated February 2026

The Bradman Collection is a cricket museum located within Adelaide Oval in North Adelaide, dedicated to celebrating the life and career of Sir Donald Bradman, Australia's greatest cricket legend. The museum features interactive displays, memorabilia, and multimedia presentations that bring cricket history to life for visitors of all ages. Children can engage with hands-on activities including batting simulators and cricket-themed games that make learning about the sport's heritage entertaining and accessible. The collection is housed within the iconic Adelaide Oval precinct, offering families the chance to explore both cricket history and one of Australia's most beautiful sporting venues. **What to Bring** Comfortable walking shoes for exploring the oval precinct. Camera for photos with cricket memorabilia and stadium views. Water bottle as the museum can get warm during summer months. **Best Age Range** Best suited for children aged 6-14 who have some interest in cricket or sports generally. Younger children may enjoy the interactive elements but older kids and teens will better appreciate the historical significance and statistical displays. **Good to Know** Parking available in Adelaide Oval car parks but can be limited on event days. Museum access may be restricted during match days and events so check the schedule before visiting. The venue is wheelchair accessible throughout. Stadium tours are available separately and can be combined with museum entry. **Nearby** Adelaide Zoo is a short drive across the River Torrens and makes an excellent combination for a full day out. The Adelaide Botanic Garden is within walking distance and offers beautiful grounds for a picnic lunch. **Tips From Other Parents** Check online for any special cricket events or player appearances that might coincide with your visit. Allow extra time to explore the Adelaide Oval grounds and take photos from the stadium seating areas. Visit on non-match days for a quieter experience and better photo opportunities.
