Children's University Australia is managed by the University of Adelaide and offers educational experiences for children aged between 7 and 14 years, recognising their achievements through the award of formal certificates and graduations.
Children can validate their trail by contacting their school's Children's University coordinator for a stamp in their passport, rather than the usual way of obtaining a stamp from the Visitor Information Centre, which is currently closed due to COVID-19 restrictions.
