Adelaide: 3 days. What to do

We will have three full days in Adelaide in late September without a car. I am having difficulty putting together activities for 2 seniors to enjoy. The Botanic gardens and South Australian Museum sound nice. Also, the tram ride to the beach. We are looking for anything different and unusual. We also love theater and really any live performance. The wine areas look interesting but I don't think it is very doable without an automobile. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. We are staying at the Oaks Horizon on North Terrace.

I'd second the suggestion for day tours if you don't have a car. There are nice spots to visit outside the CBD like the Adelaide Hills but you'll need a car.

Check out the Migration Museum, 2 minutes walk from your hotel.
A trip out to Mount Lofty Gardens is lovely, as is a short tour of the Adelaide Hills wineries.
Try a beautiful meal at Jasmin Indian Restaurant, Hindmarsh Square.
Adelaide CBD is very compact, so getting to see the historic buildings, the Central Market etc is quite easy, with coffee shops in abundance.
Have a great trip!
