About this event

What to expect

Ever wondered what's behind the gates of Government House?

On Open Day, you can step inside and explore the house and its gardens.

Located at the corner of North Terrace and King William Road. Government House is Australia's oldest Government House and the official residence of South Australia's Governor.

Visitors can tour the public rooms and learn about the history of the house, and its role today.

The gardens will also be open to explore, including the roses, orchids and chrysanthemums, the Governor's Rose Garden, a descendant of the Lone Pine from Gallipoli and a 150-year-old Moreton Bay Fig.

Meet beekeeper Rob and discover the role bees play in the Government House gardens, from pollinating flowers to supporting plant life.

Bring family and friends along for a free day out exploring one of Adelaide's historic landmarks.
