Getting there

Train to Adelaide Showground station, right at the Showground (corner of Anzac Highway and Greenhill Road).
Tram from Victoria Square or Adelaide Railway Station to Goodwood Road (stop 3), then about five minutes' walk. Buses stop at stops 1 and 2 on Goodwood Road.
Parking (in from Rose Terrace and Leader Street): $6.50 under 2 hours, $15 all day. Disabled parking bays are available.
Taxi and rideshare pick-up at the Goyder Forecourt on Goodwood Road or the Rose Terrace entrance.
You wear a wristband to get in. Keep it on: one that's been taken off is void.

Companion Card and Carer Card holders: your carer or companion gets in free. Buy your own ticket, and show your card at the door with both of you there.
Every area of the venue can be reached by ramps and lifts.
Each seminar room has reserved accessibility seating and wheelchair spaces: ask a volunteer or crew member.
Official service animals are welcome.

Kids 12 and under get in free with a paying adult; under 13s must be with a parent or guardian. Children's wristbands are there for writing your contact details on.
Bags can be checked on the way in and out.
No photos or video in the guest signing area and photo studio, and no video in Q&A panels.
No smoking or vaping inside or within 10 metres of doors.

Props go to Weapons Check first; its call is final. Banned items are held for the day and given back when you leave.
Props up to 1.5 m. Longer ones must be emailed to Supanova 14 days ahead.
No real or decommissioned firearms, BB or airsoft guns, gel blasters, metal replica weapons (sharp or not), bats, real tools or barbed wire. No skates, skateboards or hoverboards.
Prop guns need an orange or red tip (CosplayHQ has tape). Nerf is fine unloaded; bows and crossbows only if they can't fire.
Masks and helmets must come off easily when staff ask; glued prosthetics need ID. Keep it family-friendly, and wear shoes.
Bought a weapon-type item at the show? Keep it in its packaging or check it at Weapons Check. The Cosplay Repair Station is at CosplayHQ.

Food and drink at the Atrium food court, the Goyder and Jubilee outlets and the Jubilee Café.
The show is alcohol-free (except the 16+ Supanova @ Sunset event), and no glass.
We couldn't find dietary options or water refill points listed by Supanova or Adelaide Showground.

Wheelchair-friendly toilets throughout the venue.
A parents room in the Atrium Food Court for feeding and changing babies.
We couldn't find gender-neutral toilets listed by Supanova or Adelaide Showground.

A quiet space for when you're overwhelmed, in sensory overload or need a break from the crowds. Any volunteer can point you there or walk you over.
Lost something? The Info Desk is near the entrance.

Supanova's code of conduct bans harassment regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, appearance (costumes included), body size, race or religion. Harassing photos or recording count too.
To report it, whether it happened to you or you saw it, tell Supanova staff (branded collared shirts, often with radio headsets) or go to the Information Desk. Volunteers in bright T-shirts can find staff for you. Staff can call security or police and arrange an escort.
