I have been here many times in my life. The place is amazing and I have full of many memories. It is really interesting to look at the stuff inside and it feels like an adventure when you look around the place as you move. It is really nice that they’re a different floor with different things. I remember a time where my school took me to this place twice and back then I thought this place was boring for a school tour, but now when I think about it it is really nice to know the wonderful history of the place. The staff here are full of knowledge and the Discovery Centre has fascinating information on local and national history. If you're in the area, it's well worth the visit, but beware of the limited opening hours.

Great place to go with people and learn about the history in Glenelg. Full of the mystery of the history behind the place. I think the only reason we can think of to not visit the place is if you are not interested in history. We are in the process of development and it is nice to see the growth we have and...

The Bay Discovery Centre is both excellent artistic display and historical discovery hub for locals, nationals and international visitors alike.

The open display centre downstairs provides access for creative art lovers and with easy, open and secure facilities. The museum on the first and second floor provides a step back in time to the first settlers, history of the local homes, commercial and industry that have gone into making Holdfast Bay what it is today.

The centre also boasts Cityhall meeting space and public access for all with toilets as well.

Definitely something not...
