The 50 best things to do with kids in Adelaide

It was a great experience and the zoo is very well maintained. The giant pandas were resting around 11am, so we couldn’t see them, but the rest of the visit was wonderful. The staff were helpful and friendly, and my daughter had a fantastic time. We were lucky to have the cheetah sitting right next to the viewing glass, which was an unforgettable moment. The meerkats, digging away furiously, put on a fun show. For me, the highlight was the walk through the wetlands as it truly felt like being transported into a real jungle environment. Would definitely recommend to visit at least once. Close to the city. Plenty of paid parking.

Absolutely wonderful, so many animal experiences to do and I got to feed a cute hippo. Loved it. I will definitely visit again when I go to Adelaide. The cafe has respectable vegetarian and vegan options and there's a water fountain close to the kangaroos. People are so friendly and nice. This is a zoo I'd actually donate to. Very close to the city and walkable distance too

The car park for zoo allow to park maximum 4 hours. It is not long enough, but understand is a control of the flow of tourists, ensure all visitors got chance to go in and not crowded of people, so that visitors feel comfortable during the visit. The admission fee is quite high, but reasonable. Most native animals can find in the zoo. A bonus to the trip, 2 Panda is found inside the zoo, and we witness one of the panda poo poo.... Hahaha. The zoo is not as big as the one in Sydney or Singapore, but is nice to be there. There is only one restaurant inside the zoo. Foods and drinks are okay. The most lovely things is we meet a few volunteer senior work and guide visitors inside the park. So good to chat with them, and all seniors are act professional, patience, warm and nice. A thumd up for them. Wish them all the BEST!

My granddaughter and I enjoyed our visit to the zoo. It’s been over ten years since I’ve been and I was pleasantly surprised by the changes to the design. There is a great adventure type playground which my granddaughter explored enthusiastically. We also loved the overhead animal runs giving some of the tree dwelling creatures more freedom.

Had a work function after hours with a giraffe feeding experience included. Was an amazing experience. Not just the giraffe feeding but the entire function was great. Food was amazing, well presented and tasty. (My partner is a chef, so I can be picky). Staff were all amazing, remembering people's drink orders and very personable. Well trained and friendly.

The highlight of our trip to Adelaide was here at the zoo! The most beautiful and well kept botanic surrounds, an easy walk and accessible for those who need it. A beautiful home for a wide array of animals. Of course our favourites were the roly-poly pandas however there were others who were just cute.

Adelaide Zoo provides a unique experience. As the only zoo in the Southern Hemisphere that houses Giant Pandas, it is arguably one of the most significant zoos in Australia. The two pandas, Xing Qiu and Yi Lan, are usually visible, especially when they are eating in their spacious exhibits. However, a few of the other exhibits are relatively cramped and unnatural, especially the two dingos, which at confined to a small cage exhibit. Even though it is sad to see some of the animals in an unhappy condition, the pandas are still the selling point of this zoo, and hence make it a worthwhile visit.

Beautiful gardens, amazing setting and very well taken care of. Walked through the entire garden, loved every part of it. Highlight was the rose garden for sure, absolutely amazing place, will go there to chill in the future as well.

The Adelaide Botanic Garden displays a few amazing plants, the most spectacular being the Victoria amazonica, which is the second largest in the water lily family Nymphaeaceae. The gardens were designed beautifully, and reflected the visions of the early directors of the botanic garden. One needs to spend a good part of one day to wander around the 50 ha of the magnificently maintained botanic garden. I enjoyed seeing the avenue of huge fig trees and the wisteria plants which were flowering. The volunteer guides of Friends of the Botanic Gardens of Adelaide take two free tours a day. We were privileged to be shown the gardens as an event of the 18th Australiasian Botanic Garden Guides Conference.

Before visiting this Adelaide Botanic Garden for the 1st time, I didn't have much expectation as I arrived South Australia in January 2025 and experienced the longest drought seasons in history. Everywhere were dry, grey / brown but not green, especially northern parts of the Adelaide City. After five months of raining since late May 2025 and in this Spring time, I reckoned it is now the best timing to visit Adelaide Botanic Garden to see the flowers and greenery. It looked like my understanding was correct, as the Adelaide Botanic Garden was really beautiful, much better than what I expected. Everywhere were green and with beautiful flowers. Thanks to the effort of the team especially the gardeners, the garden is well maintained with healthy plants and trees, and beautiful flowers and lawns. They have kept all facilities well like the ponds, wetland, fountains, glasshouses, walkways, fences, toilets, directional signs and function rooms etc. Everything in the garden were tidy, clean and functioning well. During my visit, there were several weddings events held inside the garden, on the lawns and inside the event centres. No doubt to me here is one of the best wedding venues in Adelaide. I don't think I have walked-through every corners of the garden yet as it is so big. I will definitely re-visit quite again as it is really a nice and lovely park which is so easy to access. For example, it's good to visit it for a walk in a weekend afternoon and then cross the street to visit one of the lovely restaurants in the East End for an enjoyable dinner.

Lovely gardens to wander through. National Wine venue inside was a great surprise find for a lovely lunch. Cafe in the middle was a nice spot for an afternoon coffee. I'd noticed info about the photographic display and had planned to check it out, but only when I arrived at entry I realised it was a ticketed event.

Adelaide Botanical Gardens A great day out. Maps available at entry Well kept and maintained Gardens Lots of variety Lovely old buildings. Wisteria Arch ways both were stunning. Rose Gardens a great variety Not far from the city. Can catch a free tram Lots of grass areas for a picnic or eat in the Cafe. I really loved seeing g the Black oak area very old great to see.

A great place to visit if the traffic & noise of the city becomes too much. Great facilities or find a quiet spot. So much to do. Clean & tidy & looks amazing. Very reasonable prices for cafe food if you are looking for lunch but beware of the birds as they are known to steal food on occasion (there are signs warning of this in appropriate spots)

Lovely and impressive botanic garden which you must visit in South Australia! Very large that will take you a few hours to walk 🚶‍♀️ and you will enjoy coming here again and again! The air is fresh and so many kinds of colourful flowers attract you 🌸 there’re also many bizarre glass statues that made with impeccable skills so artistic and aesthetic!! 💓

What a wonderful museum Adelaide has ! It's main beauty lies in the fact it's still housed in an old building . There are four levels and a mezzanine and all have well set out displays . The main museum is free to enter but donations are accepted to help the museum . The museum hosts speciality displays and these have admission fees . You can go to the museum site to check what is on and admission prices and ticket availability . We started at the top and made our way down to ground level . You can easily spend 4-6 hours at the museum if you are reading information provided at each display . Well worth the visit .

What a great place! And no admission fee! So much for the kids to see and explore. The cafe is a little pricey but you expect that. Beautifully kept and laid out. The kids especially loved the discovery room where they could touch and explore things.

Ideal for a relaxed visit within the city, free entry to some sections in the ground floor, including the one on aboriginals and art. Highly informative. Includes a souvenir shop and cafe.

The Aboriginal portion of the museum is amazing. So much information. Very much enjoyed it. Overall, well curated across all the floors. You can easily visit multiple times.

Nice experience. The Vikings Hoard exhibition was great, took 90 mins at a very leisurely pace, could be done a lot faster if needed. Coffee and cake were good and decent value, with a wait on the coffee though. I would buy tickets online as the queue was long.

I didn’t know what to expect. It will change your life. I’m now a fan of Paul Kelly and a follower of the East Kimberly school. Amazing place. I could go back again and again, every few days … if I didn’t live in the UK.

We have seen so much about Aboriginal culture, opal and Pacific Islands history in a go! This museum is free to enter (except for the special exhibition). We spent two hours there, and it is worth visiting if you visit Adelaide CBD. It is next to the art gallery and university with a cafe and gift shop on site.

The Adelaide Central Market is such a delight! I had the sweetest cherries and the most flavorful quiche Lorraine, both absolutely unforgettable. Everything feels so fresh and made with care. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to wander, taste, and enjoy the best of Adelaide. Don’t miss the bookstore 🥰

This was my second visit to these markets and, perhaps due to the ongoing renovations, seemed a bit less pleasant. Firstly, it didn't feel as large and secondly, I found it quite dark inside. Nonetheless, I did enjoy wandering all the aisles (some are a bit on the narrow side) and perusing the different stalls. The majority are definitely food and veggies, followed by fish and meat. There are plenty of eateries as well. If coming in by public transport, the free tram stops at Victoria Square - a 5 minute walk from the market. There is parking and the first hour is free. On Saturdays, the first three hours are free during market opening hours. There are electric vehicle charging stations in the carpark.

Artisan appeal and presentation - 5/5 Overall vibe was cosy and nostalgic walking around a wide selections of food and trades. Pricing - 2/5 Unfortunately, we felt many items are overpriced, which is a detriment to the notion of going to a market to find cheap local produce. If you’re not afraid to splash money, you’ll find this place amazingly diverse, but if you’re after a deal, you’ll likely wont find it here, and instead go to local famers markets. Whilst we enjoyed exploring the market, we felt reluctant spending money like $10 for a slice a pizza.

Busy and bustling market. Lots of fresh produce, seafood, meats, veggies, fruit. Not very many places were doing samplings when I was there, and inflation certainly is healthy, especially at the little eateries inside the market. Can't wait to see the place once the renovation is complete.

Such a great market in Adelaide! You will find everything from pantry goodies and fresh produce to tasty baked treats. It’s right in the city, clean, well-kept and the vendors are always friendly and welcoming.

Great little market …. Fabulous variety of fruit and veggies, wine, cheese, flowers, fish! A must visit if you’re in Adelaide… service is super friendly as well… highly recommend ⭐️

Just a WOW. Coming from Melbourne I have to say I love this Central Market and the prices are reasonable. Great atmosphere very nice to see people with a smile on their faces

Great location and has an excellent atmosphere. Went for an AFL match and made plans ahead of time with friends and got there very early so we could access seats. Use a walker and found challenges. There were many free parks closer to venue but disability was still on lawn and after the rain getting through the mud was difficult. In the venue there was a good size ramp to access seating and there was disabled areas. Lucky we got there early to access. Prices are high, which is expected. Accommodates more for able body people which is discouraging as it often makes it too hard to frequent locations like this. If I didn't have assistance I would not be able to venture here and enjoy.

Great experience browsing Adelaide Oval and before the Biga+ trade show, over 50+ suppliers and hundreds of visitors from all states, excellent experience and exposure for all brands and suppliers.

very iconic place in SA!, huge and great structure stadium. tour was really helpful to understand history of Adelaide Oval. very much enjoyed!

Went to Metallica concert at Adelaide oval. Great oval with wonderful views of the ground from every seat. Great signage to get you to your seat

Adelaide Oval is one of the most picturesque and iconic sports stadiums in the world. Located in the heart of Adelaide, it beautifully blends modern architecture with heritage features. The Oval hosts cricket, AFL, concerts, and major events, and is famous for its lively atmosphere and stunning views of the city and surrounding parklands. It’s a must-visit for sports fans and anyone wanting to experience Adelaide’s vibrant culture.

We have stayed in more than 12+ 4.5-5 star hotels in the CBD and this is the best .The rooms are first class in set out , clean,technology , room service ,views, location ,food options You will not be disappointed

One of the best cricket stadiums. It's a beautiful experience to watch cricket here. Very scenic views, good pitch and wind supports good bowling and consistent bounce allows free stroke making. Decent services on the fully packed event days, great food and drink options. Good event management allows seamless crowd movement. Security is also well managed giving you the sense of freedom of mind to enjoy the game.

All the good stuff in this gallery was almost ruined by one exhibit in the second room I entered: two horse carcasses, headless, hanging by one leg - truly horrible. I quickly left that room and avoided it on my return. Otherwise, interesting and very varied art and design work throughout this large gallery. Gift shop and café available.

Really lovely museum with great variety of art. Free entry with a very nice cafe too with outdoor garden area. One of many great things to see along that North Terrace street all close by.

We did the 11.00 am guided tour and it was great she was so knowledgeable you could tell she really loved all the art pieces, i especially loved learning about the illusions in the artworks.

This is a really great art gallery that is free to enter. It has since iconic paintings and sculptures that you can see in my pictures. You probably need a good few hours to see it all.

They have some different pieces not just art which was interesting to see. Tried to ask the information desk about what are pieces not to be missed while visiting and they were very strange about my question? Bizarre staff. There has been exhibitions on that all stopped at the same time so few areas closed and a HELL of noise because people were drilling and got know’s what. Information was very small, sometimes hard to piece to what art piece, then also no further information just artist and date kind of information. Was just ok for me …

Like most state owned art galleries in Australia this gallery is free to visit. Does not require any advance booking. Great for all ages. It has over 45,000 works of art; including impessionist, realistic, relics, renaissance, modernist, egyptian, interative art. It has the biggest collection of Aboriginal and Torres strait, and pre-colonial works. There is a gallery store and coffee shops, so it's a great day trip. Can get to via public transport, and plenty of streets and garage parking.

Really nice art gallery with different artist from different countries showing works. Make sure you visit while you're in Adelaide

Rundle Mall is the heart of Adelaide’s shopping and social scene, lively and buzzing on both weekdays and weekends. Whether you’re looking for budget finds or premium brands, there’s something for everyone. From fashion and beauty to bookstores and tech, it truly is a one-stop destination. There are plenty of restaurants and quick bites to choose from, including sushi joints, cozy coffee spots, dessert places, and more. It is best explored on foot, with side streets and arcades adding to the charm. Do not miss the iconic sculptures while you are there, especially the famous Mall’s Balls and the bronze pig statues. They are local favorites and perfect for a quick photo. Early mornings around 6 AM are wonderfully calm and peaceful, ideal for a quiet stroll before the city comes alive. At night, the atmosphere remains lively. You may come across a few merry drunks, but they are easy enough to avoid. All in all, a must-visit if you are in Adelaide. Whether you are here to shop, eat, people-watch, or simply soak in the vibe, Rundle Mall delivers.

I was surprised to see how vibrant the RM is on a Sunday. Music, stalls, interactive events. Pretty trees, lots of shade & sunny spots. Interesting shops. Great diversity of people. Everyone friendly, happy. My first visit in a long time. Then had a Chai Latte in Rundle Street. Very relaxing day.

Very beautiful and lively area of the city. Lots of shops and restaurants scattered around the mall. There is a tram stop nearby which is convenient for traveling to and from Rundle.

Very nice pedestrian shopping street. Lively. Everything you could want is here somewhere. It's a nice long walk from end to end

Very easy to get around and a huge amount of shops along and arcades off the pedestrian mall. Pretty much any retail store you are looking for you will find here! Also has a Woolworths and Coles and eateries is you need them

Loved this area, great options for food and shopping. The four bronze sculptures Augusta, Oliver, Truffles and Horatio (pigs in the mall) outstanding piece of work

We visited Rundle Mall and the side arcade where we saw Humphrey B Bear We visited many shops including Myer & David Jones - there was a super market too and lots of individual shops like cotton on Haiges Chocolates Oricline Bed Bath & Table etc Quite busy and lots of people out particularly on Friday night Great place to visit and very easy to get around

12 Years since my last visit and I’m so pleased to see the park is still doing great! A wonder experience to walk around and seeing the animals have the freedom to roam around without tight caged restrictions like other zoos. Highly recommend their animal experiences on top of an explore around the park!

Overall Parks ok did enjoy the visit, just a couple little areas that I think need work, one of those been the males toilets which were reasonably clean except the hand dryers, one wasn’t work and the other one is absolutely filthy I opted to dry my hands on my jumper as I didn’t want to put my hands in there before eating. Food was ok just need a better explanation on your Ham toasted wraps as I brought for my son and didn’t realise it had tomatoe Spinach and Onion, maybe I should of asked but by the label just assumed ham and cheese. Other than that the staff were friendly and I said previously enjoyed the park.

It's good 3.5, the area is large and clean, the animals are well looked after. I was slightly disappointed in the lack of different species/animals but the ones that are there are well kept & surrounded by more of a natural setting. If you're looking for a nice open nature park, this one is for you. If you want more variety of animals, go to Gorge Wildlife Park.

Great experience getting to see some animals up close and getting to feed them. Lots of kangaroos to feed in a big, open area. (They also have roped-off sections where the kangaroos can go to keep people away from them if they are tired. That was nice for the roos!) Nice park with different animals and birds to see. Highly recommended for people of any age!

Cleland Wildlife park is beautiful. Quiet on a Saturday and truly feels like you’re walking through a wild sanctuary and not a zoo The team is excellent and feeding the animals is so fun and exciting They are really sweet and cute, and really seem to quite enjoy their time in the park Underrated wildlife park

I am a local and always recommend visiting Cleland. My partner and I spent out anniversary there this visit and it was a relaxing time on a beautiful day. Saw lots of animals and there are so many different talks that happen throughout the day that there are always things to do and see here.

Absolutely loved seeing, feeding, and stroking the kangaroos, wallabies, and potoroos! Plenty were very friendly and would happily come right up to you for food. Also liked that the animals did have spaces to go to if they wanted to be left alone. Watched a few talks as well, which were great and informative. Could tell that the keepers highly enjoy their jobs and have a lot of love for the animals they're looking after.

This was so much fun. 70 different obstacles to try over 4 levels, culminating in a climb to the top of the tower for a great view, then jump off the top level to exit. $60 for 2 hours of climbing. 10% discount if you stay at the Discovery Parks caravan park. They also have a kids section close to the ground so the parent can walk beside them and help.

My son celebrated his birthday with a few of his school friends, and it was one of his best days. He absolutely loved it. The manager and the team were incredibly kind, friendly, and made a wonderful contribution to his special day.

Did the MegaClimb plus Swing with my 8 yr old daughter. Took Friday off school 2 avoid the crowds but ended up having the place 2 ourselves. Our guide Yuri was the best. Very helpful as some things were a bit challenging 4 my girl but he got us through it no worries. Great experience. Would do it again. The swing however I did not expect 2 scream like a big girl. Craziest ride I ever been on. My daughter wanted more so if u r a little squeamish u have been warned. Great fun tho. 5 stars 2 the whole team.

The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I felt supported, encouraged to keep trying even when I was ready to quit and heard. I had such an amazing experience, I went further than I ever expected and I left feeling so satisfied with my own achievement but also grateful for the support around the whole course. I cannot remember the names of the staff but all were lovely and friendly.

My 10 year old and I loved this! We had no time limit and got to have a go on everything as many times as we liked. Staff members are super friendly and helpful. Scariest part was the swing on level 3! So much fun! Definitely recommend, and Thankyou to the kind and informative staff for giving us such a great time! 👌

Such a great experience. The people were so happy, helpful and very accommodating. The venue was fun and exciting, with easy access to parking and facilities. The whole experience was 10/10

Stunning experience. Alert and helpful guides. Please continue this good work and make sure about the gloves 😜. We will definitely come back and bring family and friends here.😀😀

Highly recommend the tree climbing experience! My child had an amazing time — it was not only fun, but also a great way to build confidence, balance, and physical strength. The safety measures were excellent, and the staff were professional, patient, and encouraging throughout the whole activity. Everything went smoothly, and my child felt so proud after reaching the top. The place is clean, well-organized, and perfect for a family outing. Definitely a 5-star experience!

My 4 kids loved their time at Tree Climb! The older two did the grand course ages 10 & 12 and had a blast! The younger two ages 5 & 7 did the kids course and Miss 5 couldn't have done it without Mr 7 helping her the whole way through get the trolley rope through the tricky parts. It's a bit hard to manoeuvre through for the younger ones. Also a bit of a wait by the time they get their harness on, watch the safety video and get up to the start point. Apart from that, it's worth the wait and they all had a challenging but fantastic time!

Such a brilliant day out! I have been with my granddaughter a few times. The staff here are so great with the kids! I heard one staff member (Sofia) yesterday calling out to my granddaughter how proud she was of her, and full of positive encouragement, it was just lovely! 😃 Adults can relax back with coffee or lunch at their cafe with shaded outdoor tables, while the kids are safely climbing above.The staff are always keeping a watchful eye out, and if the kids get nervous and stuck, a staff member climbs up to them to assist. For kids over 135 cm tall, there's the grand course with lots of zip lines. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic! Family friendly. Children gained a lot of knowledge and they just enjoyed everything! All adults were all enjoying themselves also.

Great fun! Really suitable for family to come. We’ve been there twice already. Love it! The staff are super nice and helpful :)

Great place for the kids of all ages .professional and helpful staff. Well worth the money and went over time so that we could finish the course. More seating and food options would be beneficial for families.

It was a fun, scary and Unique experience for me as I’m scared of heights. But the staff were friendly and made sure we were secure enough before every climb

Carrick Hill House was the home of Sir Edward Hayward and his wife Ursula. The estate was built in 1930s. It was bequeathed to the State Government of SA after Sir Edward's death in 1983. During my visit on 27 July 2025, the house was still closed for conservation, until 1 August 2025. However, the garden is still open for the public as usual. I think both the house and the garden are worth visiting, but a small ticket is required for visiting the house with a guided tour (booking is required). With such beautiful garden and generous approach by Sir Edward's donation of his beautiful house to allow public accessibility to enjoy walking in his garden and visiting his house to see the historical furnitures, decoration and construction, paying a small ticket ($20 per adult or $3 per child upto 15 yrs old) to ensure sustainable management and long term running of this beautiful historical building is totally acceptable. The garden was spectacular, even I visited during winter. I think I will visit in again in Summer or Autumn to see any even more beautiful garden together with a guided tour for visiting the house.

Beautiful building that has been loved and cared for by the team so we can enjoy it. The gardens are beautiful too. Fantastic way to spend a few hours or half a day so close to the city centre.

Beautiful grounds, lovely view of the city, lots of lawns, flowers and a few picnic areas, all accessible for free. There ia a new cafe, but it was very busy when I visited on Sunday lunchtime. The car park was also packed, difficult to find a spot. The grounds close at 430pm, so don't expect to stay late in summer.

What a surprise I got today visiting this great SA treasure. I had never heard of this place and ca.e across it by accident. The locals are doing a great job keeping this gem a secret. $20 entry. Well spent. Great works of art are displayed and breathtaking antiques.

The museum was interesting but the garden was so much better! Gorgeous estate

Such a beautiful historic location to visit. It's amazing to be able to walk through a home that's virtually unchanged from how it was originally. Not to mention how lovely the gardens are. It's had some additions recently which are great but would have been cool if they'd kept more to the house's theme.

Absolutely stunning property with heaps of history. Definitely recommend visiting it. The volunteers are very welcoming and knowledgeable. We were lucky to come in right before the tour at 14.30 with Pamela and she was absolutely amazing with a lot of passion and knowledge for the place. We had a wonderful time there. Definitely would like to come back around Christmas time with all decorations out

I had a wonderful experience at the National Railway Museum. The gentlemen at the entrance were so welcoming and kind, and I could really feel their passion for railways and their enthusiasm for their work. Their friendliness made the visit even more special. Although I only had a short time before closing, I truly enjoyed exploring the museum, it’s fascinating and full of history. It’s a pity I’m leaving Adelaide tonight, but I’ll definitely come back to spend more time here in the future. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Adelaide!

2 weeks ago, we visited National Railway Museum in Port Adelaide on King’s Birthday holiday 2025. Not disappointed, after parked out the metered outdoor parking lot just opposite to the museum, we walked about only 1 minute to it. Although it was a national holiday, we didn’t need to wait then could paid for our entry fee (also enjoyed discount with my NSW senior discount card) 👍 There are plenty of historic trains, trackways and carriages to display. To end this visit, we took a free of charge riding on the mini railway, travelling the whole museum, indoors and outdoors displays. Interesting snapshots, our mini ran in parallel with another real modern light railway for nearly one minute 😂 Yes, I recommend it to everyone who is travelling to Adelaide.

Love coming here, lots of trains to see and get to ride in a little train as well around the Museum getting a glimpse at items we can't see when walking around. A real stroll into the past. Great for younger children all the way up to older ages. Lots of memories that are well kept and often interactive.

Lovely museum, showcasing a large variety of old trains and providing a glimpse into the life of the past with many displays, some even interactive! Miniature trains also present on site which depart at the little railway station approximately every 30 minutes. Saw many kids hyped about riding the train 😊 Recommend for train enthusiasts of all ages to visit 🚂

Great museum with great staff! Very polite and made to feel welcome. Great exhibits with a fun miniature ride around the grounds. Well worth a visit if you’re in Adelaide!

Definitely worth a visit if you are into trains and the rich and splendid history of Australia’s industrial development which they had contributed to and been standing for. The story of Bub the stray cat is fascinating. The cabins and vintage locomotives on exhibit have been well maintained even after decades. Explore the adventure of tea and sugar trains that once carried essential procurements and brought joy and hope to railway workers and their families. Hop on the small yellow train for a ride accompanied by cranking noises and whistles. You’d forget how time has lapsed.

a must coming here if u like trains. not only u can see different trains, u can drive a train by paying a little fee and reserving a time slot via a lottery app . also there are tons of train simulators.

Definitely a park that you should trek during your weekends or whenever you have free time. Most of the trails are doable without a walking stick. Very tranquil and full of wild animals including kaolas, rabbits and birds

I visited Morialta Conservation Park and it was such a refreshing experience. What I loved most was how close it is to Adelaide — yet as soon as you step onto the trails, you feel completely surrounded by nature. The waterfalls were beautiful, especially First Falls, and I really enjoyed the sound of the water as I walked along the creek. The walking tracks are well-maintained and suitable for different fitness levels. I took the First Falls walk which was quite easy and relaxing — perfect for a gentle stroll. I spotted a few koalas sleeping in the gum trees, which was a highlight for me. The Mukanthi Nature Play Space is fantastic if you’re visiting with kids. It’s thoughtfully designed and blends really well with the bush setting. I loved seeing families enjoying picnics and children exploring the natural play areas. One thing to note is that parking can be tricky if you come on a busy weekend — it’s best to arrive early. Also, I’d recommend bringing plenty of water and your own snacks because there aren’t any cafés or shops inside the park. Overall, I’d definitely recommend Morialta Conservation Park to anyone looking for an easy day out in nature. Whether you want to hike, spot wildlife, or just relax near the waterfalls, it’s a beautiful spot to unwind and reconnect with the outdoors.

A hiking trail for all! Whatever level you are. Morialta has trails from beginners to advanced depending on what you choose. Usually at the start of the hikes is a man who also sells coffee and light snacks if you want a little pick me up at any point. Some of the trails are quite steep and would be a bit heavy on the legs. Great family friendly spot though

Beautiful walk! The Morialta Loop via First and Second Falls is a great mix of forest, cliffs, and waterfalls. The views are amazing, especially after some rain — though it does get a bit muddy then. The trail’s in good shape overall, not too steep on the ups or downs, and easy to enjoy at a steady pace. A solid choice for a relaxed hike with rewarding scenery close to the city.

A good picnic spot on sunny days. Seperate barbecue places are available to enhance family time

Great spot to visit. Has easy and medium level style hikes. Plenty of parking located lower down in the park. For the more difficult hikes you can get great rolling views of the valley and waterfall. Definitely recommended. If you want to see more photos and tips, feel free to check out my Instagram → @6yearsinjapan

Always a great walk. Amazing scenery. We've seen Koalas, Kangaroos, Echidnas, Hoping mice, Superb Blue wrens, Yellow tail Black Cockatoos etc etc, on our numerous visits.

Small but very nice and well prepared museum that displays the stories and belongings of the people who migrated to SA and Australia in general during different periods of time, such as the war. There is a lot to learn, as well as pieces of arts showing something of the home country of many of the nationalities or backgrounds that exist nowadays. I quick and nice stop, highly recommended and the tickets are free!

I reckon that Migration Museum is one of the must go tourism spots. Although the size of it is not as big as other museums, the ambient atmosphere and cleanliness is very good. The display items and contents are very nice and informative. Parking at metered street parking spot is convenient.

Great location. Having a couple of the old buildings around is amazing. A lot of good information and my only wish was that it was a little larger because I enjoyed the displays of the personal items and family stories. Free Entry, but you can make a donation to help support them.

Nice experience and tells the stories of many of the migration events over the history of Australia. It makes you appreciate the country we have and give you pride in its history for both the tall tales and but also doesn't shy from exposing some of the more sensitive and haunting elements that built us. Would recommend popping into the free venue. Fairly accessible through the Adelaide public transport system and city tram lines

Small museum in historic buildings, telling about colonial settlement and profiling individual immigrants to South Australia. Currently, there is an exhibition, “Face to Face,” of coloured and decorated photos of elderly people: black-and-white photos illustrated by both the elders and the students, who spoke with the subjects about their lives. Outside is an expanse of paving stones bearing the names of immigrants to South Australia. One wall near the entrance has a gathering of plaques in memory of oppressed and exiled peoples from their countries of origin. Free entry.

What an amazing experience and a magical moment! This museum is real gem, the history, the discovery, the moments our first generations lived when arriving in SA snd then today’s connections and reality. Take the time to jump in the past to better enjoy the present. There is also an old car: you can seat inside and imagine those moments… the old leather smell, the feelings are incredible… and I do remember those! Free entry, not too busy and easy to explore. Highly recommended

Wonderful small exhibition but beautifully done. Great insight to early Adelaide

Adelaide Gaol locates at 18 Gaol Road where is not difficult to drive to. Compare with other museums, it doesn’t have air conditioning exhibition halls and beautiful interior decorations. However, its real heritage and historical displays are worth enough for us to spend nearly two hours to walk through it (actually, multiple blocks joined together to form this museum). After parking outside the prison, we walked to the admission counter to purchase our entry tickets. We started our self-guided tour after having a brief introduction given by the lovely staff 👍

It was certainly an interesting but eerie visit! At the time we visited there was only a handful of other visitors so we could explore everything in peace which was nice. The employees were lovely and helpful. At the entrance we got handed a map with a suggested path to follow to ensure you see everything which was very helpful. There was a lot of exhibits with many stories of past inmates to read. Most of the gaol has been well preserved; many graffiti’s from past prisoners are able to be observed within the cell doors. Some areas were definitely spooky considering a fair few prisoners have been executed here and are buried within the outer wall. It was interesting to have seen the gaol once and I would recommend it to others however it is not something I would re visit.necessarily.

No matter what you've been told an hour is not enough . Staff are so nice , friendly and great for a joke . Plenty of I formation around the goal for self guided tours . We are going to book the ghost tour next.

We took a self-guided tour on a weekday. If you're into history, this establishment is an important part of Adelaide's history. The facility is very well-maintained & immaculately kept.

The Old Adelaide Gaol stands as a hauntingly fascinating relic of South Australia's penal history. Stepping through its imposing gates, visitors are immediately transported to a grim past where the echoes of incarcerated lives seem to linger in every brick. The self-guided tour allows for a deeply personal exploration, winding through narrow cell blocks, the exercise yards, and even the chilling execution room. While the atmosphere is undeniably somber, the gaol offers a remarkably insightful look into 19th and 20th-century prison life, highlighting the harsh realities faced by both inmates and staff. Information panels provide context, detailing notorious prisoners and significant events. It's a place that provokes thought about justice, punishment, and the evolution of human rights. Despite its dark history, the Old Adelaide Gaol is an essential visit for anyone interested in Australian social history or seeking a genuinely unique and somewhat unsettling experience. Allow ample time to absorb the weighty ambiance of this incredibly preserved landmark.

We enjoy visit Gaols and historical places and this one is one of the better ones we have seen - great spot and we also enjoyed our lunch here too

You can go on a tour or go through by yourselves. Its very interesting and eerie in some places. So much history there.

I’ve experienced Beach House with my own friends, with over 100 children at a time with OSHC and with my 3 year old. This place is stimulating! My son and I love lights and noise so it was great for us! The merry go round was an accessible and enjoyable option for him, I was able to join him for no extra charge and he had a lot of fun on there! He was also desperate to try an arcade game and was convinced that it was him making all of those hoops 😉 I think that the place could do with a bit of an upgrade, a big clean and some new paint? Being by the ocean means that it probably gets damaged quicker than other places though.

A brilliant weekend for the kids with lots of laughter. Parents can also join in many games. The space is quite comfortable with great customer service. Always happy every time we come here with our children, because we see them happy.😄😄😄 Update: Again, we had a fantastic weekend with the kids, filled with laughter & fun. The customer service was friendly & welcoming as usual.

Place is so unloved needs a decent clean. Arcade games either broken partly damaged need topping up or just take your money with no go. Only thing good is the slides for now. Very costly for what it is now days. Not fun more unwelcoming and needs a bloody good clean

Beachhouse Playground is a family gem! Kids adore the creative, beach-themed equipment—especially the ship climber and sand play area. It’s spotlessly clean, shaded by palms, and safely fenced. Parents appreciate the comfy seating and ocean views. Perfect for sunny days, birthday parties, or post-beach energy burns. Pure childhood joy!

Most of the games were not functioning properly or at all (mind they still took credit) the mini golf is in need of a lot of maintenance and stunk of stagnant water. Playground seems to have vanished since our last visit. Absolute waste of money. The place needs a massive overhaul.

I didn’t really have a good time at The Beach House. Most of the arcade games were broken or not working, which was really disappointing. The water slides weren’t running, and the water boats were also closed. For the price they charge, I expected much more. Overall, it felt overpriced and not worth the visit

The Beach house at Glenelg was very enjoyable. We met some old Family members there and enjoyed our time together.

One of the best maritime museums I have visited around the nation. What stands out on the South Australian Maritime Museum for me is its focus on SA history, interactive science-works like activities upstairs and the ketch downstairs with compartments that are accessible. The entire place was just well maintained. My family and I truly enjoyed walking around and reading about SA history.

Good museum illustrating and explaining the history of maritime life of South Australia, including the lives of the first peoples, explorers/navigators/cartographers/scientists, dolphins, windjammers, shipwrecks, immigrants/colonists and beach and port life. A restored ketch can be boarded and entered. Gift shop has educational books, souvenirs and jewellery. 4.5 stars. A few displays need repair, and the elevator is currently iffy. If you visit one of the four museums in Port Adelaide, you get discounted entry at the others: South Australia Aviation Museum, National Railway Museum and clipper ship "City of Adelaide."

Engaging and extensive artefacts to view, loved the focus on the Ports history, especially on the top floor. Haven’t been since I was a child, yet it still possess the same magic and charm. Price is a bit steep, but if you pace yourself and genuinely take the time to read and interact with the artefacts (big and small), screens and audio being played throughout, it’s well worth it in my opinion.

The South Australian Maritime Museum provides a comprehensive yet entertaining experience to all. The museum spans across three main levels, with a main exhibit of a ketch named ‘Active II’. The side exhibits are also very informative, giving specialised insight into South Australia’s maritime involvement. These are quite well designed and interactive, giving a broad range of aspects, including colonial, modern, civilian and military perspectives. Staff are friendly and helpful. Overall, the South Australia Maritime Museum is a visit well worth its price.

Loved this place - well worth a visit we love maritime history so we visit maritime Museums wherever we find them and this one is a very good one - we probably spent about 2 hours here

Some good interactive activities and loads of interesting displays over several floors. We spent a good couple of hours here.

saw my grandad steering the boat and it really gave me PTSD from when he used to feed me porridge into my nostrils feeding the beans inside the porridge. really hit home when i saw his skeleton with his 10 inches helping used the power of the boat making it use an iceberg.

This was a beautiful introduction to our most unique wildlife, for our overseas visitor. Being able to pat a koala, feed kangaroos and Wallabies, see them all at the same place.

Even though it was a bit pricey on entry, I highly recommend this place. A large wildlife park to spend a few hours in. You can not see the entire place in under 3hours, may need the whole afternoon. Great place and workers there are awesome, professional and friendly.

Cleland National Park is a great place to experience Australia’s natural beauty. With scenic walking trails and wildlife such as koalas, kangaroos, and emus, it’s perfect for nature lovers. Visitors can feed kangaroos by purchasing a food pack for AUD 4, adding a fun and interactive element to the visit. Tickets cost AUD 33.50 for adults, with concession rates available. The park also has a beautiful lookout near the rock kangaroo area, offering stunning views of the cit. Picnic spots are available for those who want to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. While some days include koala rest days or limited access to certain areas, there’s still plenty to explore. The on-site café offers tasty snacks and lunches, making it easy to spend a full day at the park. Cleland National Park is a wonderful destination for connecting with nature and wildlife.

Enjoyed it very much. Very well organised and structured. Great information and directions to various sections of the park. We were able to pet a koala during interactive session. Highly recommended.

A beautiful place. I love wandering around and observing all the wildlife. The staff are all friendly and they do important work.

It's really good and refreshing. Plan a day to enjoy the full park

Very picturesque, a great climb to the summit, the climb is for moderate to highly fit, but the first waterfall and Utopia are for any fitness level, beautiful peaceful place to appreciate nature.

A great place to catch up with your friends, suitable for kids party. Upon arrival at 10am in the morning on a Saturday, there were some people already. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and helped us to take group photos too. She told us the time for each kind of options written on the board according to the number of people we had. We had around 9 people, and there were 3 options. According to the time she told us, we chose the 24 holes instead of 18 holes. (can't remember exact numbers, so it might not be accurate) 24 holes is $20, 18 holes is $14. So after 18 holes we ran out of time already, and each of us lost $6 in our group as we couldn't finish the rest. A suggestion: remember if you don't have sufficient time, don't choose 24 holes if you have a big group. Overall good environment, nice atmosphere, good facilities and it was fun to play. Recommend this place.

This is one of the best mini golf courses that we have found in Australia. We have taken our grandchildren for years and the oldest at 15 years old still has a good time there. The sales shop and Cafe manager is a young adult who presents as if he hates but tolerates his job. Don't expect any polite conversation or a smile. The toilets are filthy including walls etc etc but fits with the " Its just a job" attitude of staff.. Otherwise still happy to give it 4 stars for the family fun.

Went here 2days ago. Great time. Doesnt need to be just for kids, its for those who want a bit of fun. Lucky we missed all the school kids. We played 18holes and had a blast. Clean tidy, looks simple but is a challenge. $16 worth it. Next time will play the other 9 holes on the new course.

Not Disability Friendly.. Both in facilities and the course. Walkers & frames need to be lifted over cement edging and a few courses have obstacles which take up almost all of the hole. Need to step off and edge around these. The courses themselves were very interesting.. A wide variety of obstacles. Friendly staff, but the kiosk looks like it needs a proper clean. Coffee machine wasn't working. Toilets not accessible to the disabled. Apart from this our group enjoyed playing mini-golf.

We loved playing mini golf. It's a fun course and gives lots of cool photo opportunities. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Snacks / food / drinks available. The course could have been cleaner with less obstacles that have fell from natural vegetation but I guess that's hard with the business endured on the day during school holidays and it didn't really matter when playing with a 6 year old but if playing against adult could be a bit different. But it's about fun which it was. Could be tricky for people with disabilities with mobility aids to get through . Some spot would be harder to navigate with a few spots that would be a challenge. Overall a great time.

Awesome experience. Affordable, friendly atmosphere. Acceptance of all race, sex, disability ect ect. Great challenging holes and lots of drinks to choose from!

Its a good little course, and the price is acceptable compared to Holey moley. But when we went it was extremely quiet, so we went around again. The young guy at the counter eventually noticed when he unglued his eyes from his phone and felt the need to let us know we will have to pay another $18 to play again. Really? When you have a really quiet day, you would think you would just let the people play again for the price they have to pay....?

Very good place to stop whilst in Handorf. Strawberry picking available when in season. In the shop there is a cafe available serving drinks and food. In the shop there is a wide range of jams and other products available, for reasonable prices. Well worth a stop. Good sized car park outside.

Strawberry picking was absolutely amazing especially with the kids. By far the sweetest juiciest strawberries I’ve ever eaten (eating straight after picking it was the best). Definitely worth going when it’s the season and be ready for a long day out of walking too!

The restaurant crowded of people. The menu selection is quite simple and specialist. Seperate into 2 section. The meal area consist ice cream order. The shop area sell variety of products. Order do it in the counter and remember to tell your table number. Food and drink will be deliver to table. The lamb pie, smokey, bacon & eggs is good. Free flow of water is self service, get the cup and bottle of water from the counter.

Beerenberg Family Farm is a great spot for a day out. The strawberry picking is fun. After picking, the farm shop is well worth a visit. I did a lot of shopping there and stocked up on their fresh jams and local products, all excellent in quality. The place is very well run and the staff are friendly and helpful. It’s a simple, enjoyable experience that feels genuine and well cared for. A great place to relax, pick strawberries, and take home something delicious.

strawberry picking in beerenberg farm fun day hahaha you can do strawberry picking here but only during Nov to Apr, honestly the ticket is very valuable you can visit strawberry farm and taste a bit, but sadly the strawberry not sweet at all…still a funny experience in hahndorf they have a cafe shop insides with some green plants hanging, quite good environment and the shop next too only bad thing today is keep raining in between we have to stay under the tree to cover ourselves lolll hahaha Beerenberg farm rating of mine: 4.3

Nice relaxing walk from Hahndorf Inn, saw some cows. Strawberry picking not yet started, so we had ice cream & cookies, & browsed at the shop.

The new barn is modern and high-end, and I found the mini museum quite interesting. Although the strawberry patch was closed today, the café was still bustling with people. As part of our mystery trail experience, we collected our meal base and had a quick browse through the shop before leaving. If we hadn’t already had lunch, this would’ve been a lovely spot for a meal—perfect for brunch or lunch in the Adelaide Hills. That said, I feel like Beerenberg Farm has lost some of the charm and personal touches that used to make it such a special place. Little things, like being personally greeted by staff, seem to be missing now.

Gorge Wildlife Park is a wonderful place to visit with family. You can easily spend 1–2 hours here enjoying the animals, especially if you love interacting with and caring for them. The park is well maintained, and you can feed some of the animals. There’s also a shop where you can buy souvenirs and animal food, plus a cafe offering meals and drinks. Parking is convenient, with three car parks available, one right at the entrance and two across the road—so finding a spot is not difficult. Entry prices are fair, and for an additional fee you can hold a koala at 11:30 am or 2:30 pm, which is a popular highlight. Walking paths are in place, though some areas have slopes and stairs, so keep this in mind if you’re visiting with prams or wheelchairs. There are several spots where you can sit and enjoy your own food, making it a relaxed outing. One improvement could be adding more information boards with animal details, which would make the experience even more engaging. Overall, it’s a great family-friendly destination that balances animal encounters, facilities, and accessibility.

Absolutely worth visiting! If you want a real, hands-on Australian wildlife experience, you must visit George Wildlife Park in Cudlee Creek, South Australia. This place is completely different from Adelaide Zoo, Monarto Safari Park or most other animal parks. You can hand feed friendly kangaroos, pet adorable koalas and enjoy an up-close encounter with many of Australia’s native animals, all at very affordable prices. The atmosphere feels natural, relaxed and family friendly. Staff are welcoming and the animals are clearly well cared for. It’s the perfect spot for tourists and locals alike who want an unforgettable wildlife experience without the high crowds or high entry costs. Highly recommended!

My first experience at Gorge will not be my last. I had the most wonderful day. I already can’t wait to go back! So many different animals .. the park itself was relaxing and spacious. Food was nice and the staff were lovely. The admission price was great value.

One of the major reasons we came to Australia from the states. How many people can say they held a koala or a kangaroo ate from the palm of their hands? Fun little park, we went on a public holiday so was packed but you find your private space to interact with the animals. Staff was polite and accommodating. Make the drive to Adelaide, it is 1000% worth it.

I think this is one of the best wildlife parks in South Australia. Be careful around the Ostriches though they are opportunistic and will eat hair accessories and hats. We alerted staff about it but they didnt seem all too concerned so I hope they are doing ok. All the animals were very active. Goats and birds were mighty keen for a feed. They have Capybaras. If you want to see Fairy penguins up close this is a good place to see them. Very active dingoes too. You can hear them howling across the park.

Really great open zoo for family day out. Surprise that we only discovered this recently. With the quite fair price and lots of animals to see, way better than the zoo in CBD and botanic garden. Lots of different birds and kangaroos there.

I recently visited Gorge Wildlife Park and had a wonderful experience. The park is beautifully maintained with plenty of shaded areas, which makes it comfortable to explore even on a warm day. The range of animals is impressive — from native Australian wildlife like kangaroos, koalas, and wombats to a variety of birds and reptiles. One of the highlights for me was the opportunity to hold a koala and feed the kangaroos — it was such a special, hands-on experience that you don’t get everywhere. The enclosures are clean and spacious, and it’s clear that the animals are well cared for. The staff and volunteers were friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions. There are also good picnic spots and a small café for snacks and drinks, which made it easy to spend a few hours there. Overall, Gorge Wildlife Park is a fantastic place for families, tourists, or anyone wanting to get up close with Australian wildlife. I highly recommend a visit!

Great little garden to relax and think in. Nicely laid out rock paths and a small water feature that you had a small bridge to cross. There's a cozy seating area overlooking a Zen garden/Japanese dry garden. Was there during a bit of a rain and the water was flowing nicely. Very nice place to go and have a ponder.

A beautiful peaceful garden. Not too big and plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. This is a place to enjoy the peace and quiet and respect others need for the same.

The Adelaide Himeji Garden is truly a hidden gem tucked among the expanse of parks. The garden essentially guarantees an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity away from the busy hustle of the city. The pond in the centre is home to several species of fish, including medaka rice fish, goldfish and even several turtles. The winding gravel track travels around the pond, leading to a clean dry garden. Crystal clear water gently trickles down rock terraces as a waterfall, passing green lilies and suffusing with the greenish water of the main pool. Copious tree coverage, including that of Bonsai trees, provides adequate shade, while the grassy lawn allows for picnics under brilliant sunshine. Ultimately, my visit to Adelaide Himeji Garden has given me overwhelming reason to revisit in the future as my favourite garden in the entire city.

It's tiny—I circled the entire thing in just two minutes. The photo shows its full extent. Still, if you like the scenery, have a seat on the bench and enjoy the view

An astonishing carefully crafted garden that offers a brochure upon entry which guides you on how to switch off and truly appreciate the serenity of the garden. Visiting the Himeji garden and getting to experience a little piece of Japan will be a forever memory in my first ever proper trip to Adelaide. I strongly recommend visiting here even if gardens are not typically your thing

I was expecting it to be a bit bigger only a 15 minute experience if you photograph everything maybe 20 minutes. Apart from that there is lots of parking nearby no wait times lovely plants and beautiful Japanese scenery.

I stumbled upon the Adelaide Himeji Garden, and it felt like finding a hidden gem. It’s a unique mix of Japanese design blended with the Adelaide park style. I sat there for about 20 minutes, just enjoying the calm and beauty. Such a peaceful little escape right in the city

Absolutely incredible! Such a massive variety of shows, food stalls, entertainment, venues, rides and sideshows! Prices for the shows vary depending on who the performer/s are, food can be a little expensive. Quite shocked to see 6 small cinnamon doughnuts were $16 and a tiny box of popcorn was $10. $50 for unlimited rides was a sweet deal. Saw the Fountain Lakes on Lockdown Parody which was hilarious! Then a comedy show to end the night seeing Simon Taylor. darkfields seancé, flight and invisible between for a bit of fun too!

Amazing experiences, variety of events to attend with family and friends. We had really good time this year (2024), we visited music concert, circus and the garden of unearthly delight ❤️. It has something to offer for everyone. The rundal street turned to a party place where various artists performed on the street and restaurants offered food In outdoor sitting.

It was a pleasure to be in Adelaide the time when the Fringe took place. A great festival with so many cool events and so much to do & to see.

Going to this show was my best choice on Friday night. I definitely hope to see this show again at another venue.

Lots of great shows to watch tho a little bit expensive. The food want to bad and the rides have medium variety good for kids

The Adelaide Fringe stands as Australia's largest arts festival, enlivening Adelaide and its surrounding regions for 31 days and nights each summer. This dynamic event showcases a diverse array of performances including cabaret, theatre, comedy, circus acts, music, visual arts, workshops, and more. With over 6,000 independent artists participating in 300 venues across South Australia, the Fringe hosts upwards of 1,200 shows, catering to a broad spectrum of tastes and interests. From free outdoor spectacles to cutting-edge VR experiences, inclusive children's theatre, and even intimate one-person performances set in office cubicles, the Fringe offers an unparalleled cultural extravaganza.

Omg what can I say about the Adelaide Fringe 2021, the best so far! The acts, the displays, the shows, the music, the food and drinks stalls - fabulous darlings!!!

Mount Lofty Botanical Gardens WOW what a display of colour. The Rhododendron Trail was spectacular the vibrant display of colour and liter hundred of different colours. Magnolia Gully blooms were just getting started a great variety of blooms The main lake was alive with bird life. We had such a great time the trails up and down the hull never seemed to both us. Well done everyone who maintains these gardens.

Mount Lofty Botanic Garden is one of my favourite places in South Australia. I’ve visited many times and always find something new to fall in love with. The variety of flowers, plants, and towering trees from all over the world is amazing, and every season brings a different kind of beauty. The walking trails are peaceful, the lake is beautiful, and there are so many perfect spots to relax, take photos, or just enjoy the fresh, cool air. It’s the perfect escape from the city. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves nature, photography, or simply a quiet, beautiful place to unwind. Can’t wait for my next visit!

Mount Lofty Botanic Garden is truly one of Adelaide’s hidden gems. The gardens are beautifully maintained and offer something special in every season — from the vibrant autumn leaves to the colourful spring blooms. The walking trails are well-marked, and there’s so much to explore, whether you want a gentle stroll or a more challenging hike. I loved wandering through the different sections, especially the cool-climate plants and the fern gullies — it feels like you’re walking through a fairytale forest at times! The views across the Adelaide Hills are stunning, and there are plenty of peaceful spots to sit and have a picnic. It’s a fantastic place for photographers, families, or anyone who just wants to escape the city for a while and reconnect with nature. The only tip is to wear good walking shoes — some paths can be quite steep. And bring a jacket, as it can be cooler up there. Overall, I highly recommend Mount Lofty Botanic Garden — it’s a perfect day out for nature lovers and a beautiful reminder of how special the Adelaide Hills are.

We had a wonderful time exploring the Mount Lofty Botanic Garden. By chance, we arrived just as a free guided walking tour was starting, and it turned out to be the highlight of our visit. Our guide, volunteer Henry Krichauff, was knowledgeable, engaging, and truly inspiring — incredibly fit and active at his age. The gardens themselves are beautifully maintained, vibrant, and full of scenic walking trails that make for a relaxing day out. Parking is also convenient and affordable, with full-day parking available for just $4.40. A peaceful and enriching place to spend a few hours or even a whole day.

What a beautiful place! I was looking to go for a walk and unwind in nature, and this spot was absolutely perfect. We explored several walking trails, and the duck pond was probably my favourite part. It’s also an ideal location for a picnic.

The trees were bursting with color everywhere you look, like something straight out of a painting. There’s this huge open space that’s perfect for a picnic — you could literally spread out a blanket, relax, and just breathe in the fresh air. The whole place gives off such a calm, peaceful vibe — it’s the kind of spot that just makes you forget all your worries. Totally the perfect chill day location. Visited during the month of May.

A very picturesque botanic garden to visit and not at all crowded on a week day! Be aware that you have to pay for parking excluding Sundays and that many of the paths are pretty steep and only gravel.

This is a great space on a cold day. It was cosy and warm. Lovely staff. Lots of interactive exhibitions full of interesting facts, things to learn and creative displays that will expand your mind and grow your imagination. Kat Bell's exhibition was a highlight with an interactive digital media installation that you could control whilst lounging on comfy pillows.

It's my first time visiting MOD. What a great way to educate and entertain at the same time. There're lots and lots of media used to explain how our earth changes and what's the implications of it. With a visit wrap by story step by step, we are introduced to every piece of meaningful arts, color plates, lights art and so many messages around the corner. Everything is set beautifully and meaningfully. I really enjoyed it.

Visited MOD today with kid and had a great time. First of all, it’s completely free to enter. There’s also a good café nearby for coffee and snacks. The space is spread across multiple levels — the ground floor, one level below, and the first floor. There were quite a few interactive exhibits and sessions, which the kid absolutely loved (and so did I!). It’s not a very long visit — around 30 to 45 minutes — but it makes for a fun and engaging little getaway for kids. Definitely worth a visit!

Wow the Forever exhibition is truly something amazing Great fun playing and learning, and such a cool concept to get us thinking about some really deep questions about life, death, time and mortality Go in with a child’s wonder and you can easily spend 2 hours engaging with all the activities Thank you to the wonderful guide Prianca and team. Will definitely be excited to see what comes up next year

The interactive games and globe was so much for our short visit. The cafe served good drinks and the dining space is quite nice! Free entry and MOD. staff will guide you in.

such an amazing, thoughtful, and thought/provoking museum. we visited the ground floor and the floor above. each exhibit was so interesting and different, but as a whole tell such a coherent story that really makes you contemplate. highly recommend visiting this—can’t believe it’s free—and would love to come back again to see what their next theme will be.

This place have good exhibition, I think about human, environment, and related to future world. They open until night and have interactive part too. The information board give clear information and encourage us for thinking. This is good way to learn.

Perfect Place for Family Time! The kids absolutely loved it. Great for a peaceful walk, playing around, and just enjoying quality time together. It's one of the best places to bond with your children without the distractions of social media. Highly recommend for families looking to unplug and reconnect.

Our son was wanting to try camping and this was a perfect first trip. We booked a bell tent which came with BBQ and a selection of camping basics. My son had the best time. The facilities at the park gave a good variety of activities to do with our day. The price was great value for money.

Fantastic place to visit for a day or even stay for couple of nights. The place is acres after acres, massive area to explore and activities are all around the adventure park. So driving, walking all required. We stayed in a cabin with the family, kids just loved it and so we. We did some fire outside in a fire pit as it was cold at night, kids enjoyed it. We also liked the natural serenity around us. So green! The activities are designed in a way that everyone needs to do some work out. If you stay then the activity cost is included. It is not expensive staying overnight at all. There are BBQ pit around the places and so you do your BBQing here. Highly recommended if you have kids.

It was a very fun experience because I was hanging out at a party. It was fully inclusive although we had to pay $17 for adults to come in to see the party. The challenge Hill was challenging for the kids and me because we had to figure out how this was going to work. The tube slide is really fun and I would definitely recommend Lasertag. I’m only putting four stars in because challenger Hill has some pretty dangerous Paving and I got injured from it In my leg. Definitely come it’s worth the money. If you camp there take the chance it’s great. They also have some non-hands-on activities such as the labyrinth. Altogether a great place for kids to hang out with friends or family

I love the area and the obstacles but a few issues with the holiday activity program. A scam honestly, and the leaders for the program lied and weren't honest. They also hate fun as I noticed from their behaviour (especially one called Brooke) . The camp area was awesome and loved seeing all the wildlife but the program spoiled everything.

We camped for one night as a family of 8. Whilst price is expensive per night for us compared to a caravan park, it works out more affordable as we could check in at 9am and check out 5pm the next day. Kids loved the tube slide and challenge hill. We saw a lot of wildlife up close including 3 koalas (one on the ground), tawny frog mouth mother owl with its baby and ducks with ducklings. Toilet and shower blocks were clean and modern. Plenty of bench space to put your personal items. Camp kitchen areas had 4 large free BBQs, tap and sink, and lots of trestle tables. Well sheltered area if weather is bad. We appreciated the fire pit and there were numerous portable fire drums for use. Lots of grass and shade. River nearby was entertaining for older children. Little ones would need watching as fence not toddler proof. Our group enjoyed it so much we are planning our next visit.

If you are looking to have a fun day out or want to camp for the night, I would highly recommend this place.

Absolutely lovely! The dolphins were out in force, the mangroves were imposing in an emotionally powerful way, and it felt natural in the middle of one of the most industrial areas I’ve ever seen

Highly recommending the 3hr tour. Fantastic team building activity with the better half, and great way to see the area from a new perspective. Only saw a small glimpse of 5he dolphins but sometimes that's how the cookie crumbles. There is plenty else that you can get from the tour such as local knowledge provided by the tour guide and adventure around some of the ship wrecks in the local area. Use the toilets before hand because there are no opportunities on the water. Plenty of parking.

The Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary is more than just a haven for dolphins—it's a place of extraordinary natural beauty and deep cultural significance. Nestled among mangroves and winding tidal creeks, this sanctuary offers a peaceful escape where you can witness resident bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat, alongside a rich diversity of bird and marine life. Equally important is its cultural and spiritual significance to the Kaurna People. The sanctuary lies within the traditional lands and waters of the Kaurna Nation, whose connection to Country stretches back tens of thousands of years. This area is part of the ancestral pathway of Tjirbruke, the revered Kaurna creation ancestor. According to Kaurna tradition, Tjirbruke carried the body of his nephew along the coast, mourning deeply and creating freshwater springs with his tears. These springs of sorrow are scattered along the coastline—including sites close to Garden Island—and remain sacred to this day. Visiting the Dolphin Sanctuary is a powerful reminder of the enduring relationship between First Nations Peoples and the land and waters of South Australia. It’s a place of reflection, learning, and deep respect—for nature and for ancient storylines that still shape this place today. Highly recommended for those seeking not only natural beauty but also an understanding of living culture.

Views are stunning with seabirds, mangroves and at least 15 dolphins permanently inhabiting this place. You may bring your own kayak as the water is open to public.

Beautiful and peaceful place to enjoy nature by the water. Great spot for walking and relaxing, and sometimes you can see dolphins if you’re lucky. Nice for photos and spending quiet time outdoors.

Nice relaxing area, nice walk along the jetty, nice and close to the city..

Spotted dolphins while I was walking on the jetty! It’s my very first visit to Garden Island in 3 years, very lucky! Should’ve brought along my lenses🔭

Fulfilling a childhood dream of visiting a chocolate factory! Well behind glass on a viewing deck away, with a couple samples. No songs or kids being turned into blueberries. It was a no photo zone. . 🍫 Being the factory they also have outlet packs of chocolates, priced around $20. It's a huge shop, compared to the city stores, a stop not destination near the CBD. . 🍫 Haigh's Chocolate Factory Tours @haighschocolates 📍 Parkside, Adelaide (south of the grid) 🚗 There's parking and a bus nearby 💵Entry is free

We came for a look, as we were trying to fill some time before flying home, and it was recommended to come here. The factory tour was okay. I was expecting more from the tour, but they are framing it as a 'self guided tour.' There were a few samples to try in the store as you were paying, which should have been offered earlier as an incentive to buy them prior to getting to the registers and having to halt the line whilst you went and got the product from the shelves. Also, we had never eaten Haigh's before, so we were unsure if we even liked it so we were unsure whether to buy any. For what it is, we found it very overpriced. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate, whereas I preferred Melba's. I wouldn't return unless buying a special treat for my husband.

Very informative tour with lots of yummy samples. My only suggestion for improvement would be a nicer seating area for the talk at the beginning.

I accidentally booked the tour for the wrong date and arrived a little late due to parking, but the staff went above and beyond to look after us. Rina was so kind, offering us sample chocolates and giving us time to shop. Matty welcomed us into the tour, and he was absolutely fantastic—funny, engaging, and clearly perfect for the role. My son said it’s been his favourite day in Adelaide so far! Thank you to the Haigh’s team for such wonderful customer service and a memorable experience.

I attended the chocolate factory tour today with my parents, who are visiting us from overseas. The factory had accessible toilets, and the location is also suitable for people with special abilities / needs. There were a few free parking spots available, which was helpful. The tour was excellent. A lovely lady guided us through the experience, explaining the history of the chocolate factory and showcasing how much of the chocolate-making process is still done by hand. The tour began with a chocolate tasting session and ended with another one. At the conclusion of the tour, visitors had the option to purchase chocolates, although it wasn’t compulsory. We bought some anyways as you can't resist. Unlike most places in Australia, both the tour and the chocolate tasting were free, which was a pleasant surprise. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you to the lovely staff and management. Keep making the great chocolates locally 😊

Really enjoyed our visit! From our warm welcome, with samples, by Matty to the tour conducted by the knowledgeable Pam, the whole morning was fun. Was great to learn about how the Haigh family developed their chocolate business, while nibbling on samples. We watched the hand rolling of truffles, the spinning of Chocolate bilbys and hand wrapping of eater eggs. I was impressed with the packaging of the chocolate purchased and have loved my choices of choc orange discs and freckles. Saving my Australian Made with Australian beans grown in QLD to enjoy during TC Alfred. If you're in Adelaide, this is a stop you should put on your list. Especially if it's your birthday. But do note that the chocolate is priced as you would expet hand made chocolate to be. Recommend the seconds section.

the moment you step through the doors, you're swept away by the rich aroma of chocolate and the warmth of beautifully curated décor. Take a peek into the magic behind the scenes with a self-guided view of the chocolate-making rooms, then wander at your own pace through the shop floor and endulge in some delicious handcrafted treats.

Spend like almost 4 hours. Highly recommend for all the family members specially for kids. There are 3 different size of swimming pools in according to the children’s age groups. Water slides 🛝 also available at the site. Canteen, wash rooms, rest areas swimming stuff also available at the place inside. Reasonable fee will be charged at the entry.

We held our daughter’s 5th birthday yesterday and it was absolutely amazing - our hosts were Ethan and Indie and they were smiling, patient, courteous and attentive and definitely an asset to waterworld! Being our first time we were not sure what to to expect -we booked for 15 kids and they got a lovely private area of the pool for games. Everything went smoothly, and despite having a few alterations to plans they were super accommodating and also being Australia Day a super busy day where if not staffed appropriately I could see things getting missed or being a little all over the shop but that did not happen at all and none of the staff looked one bit stressed! Thankyou so much for making our daughters birthday one to remember the kids had a wonderful time playing games, swimming, eating and enjoying the sunshine! Also shoutout to Martina the coordinator who was seemless and professional to deal with from start to finish! All round 5 stars team 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Waterworld Aquatic Centre is a great place for families, especially children, to have fun and enjoy the facilities. However, more attention to safety measures and hygiene standards would make the experience even better. Overall, a nice spot for a day out!

Brilliant - plenty of shaded areas and spots to sit on the nice lush grass even on the hottest of days, with the water the perfect temperature and always crystal clear.

Really good place, offers kids pool, medium pool, and 50m olympic pool divided into lanes for laps. Use lanes on your skill level. Gives an immaculate vibe. 2 Fast slides to race your friend, one slide which is fun cause its dark for a bit, canteen selection is good, I suggest hot chocolate with hazelnut and chips, overall this place is a great place to take your friends, kids, family, or just yourself.

Excellent staff, instructors and venue. Very professional, patient and knowledgeable instructors. Although there are many excellent instructors, Angie was amazing to deal with. Thanks Angie!! Great location, water slides are awesome, loads of free parking with easy wheelchair access. Reasonable prices. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic place for a kids party! The staff were really lovely and helpful and the facilities are brightly coloured and clean

Lovely park but very dry at the moment. End of April 2025 We did a waterfall loop through the tunnel which was really nice and to the lower part and then the upper part of the falls. Even though there was no water the views are lovely and we were rewarded with 7 koala spotting and one echidna. Kangaroos and many different types of birds galore. Park is very well maintained with lots of trails, picnic areas, toilets and a playground. It seems to be less busy than Morialta and Cleland which for me was a bonus. The entry fee is $13.50 but you can also park before the entrance and walk in.

Belair National Park, just 13 km from Adelaide, is a perfect nature escape from city life. Set in the Mount Lofty Ranges, it offers scenic landscapes, native bushland, lakes, seasonal waterfalls, and a variety of hiking trails for all levels. Ideal for a day trip, the park has plenty of picnic areas with BBQs, shelters, and toilets. Kids can enjoy playgrounds and open spaces, while adults relax or explore. Wildlife is abundant—keep an eye out for kangaroos, koalas, and colorful birds. Visitors can also enjoy sports facilities like tennis courts and cricket pitches, or visit the historic Old Government House. Belair National Park is a beautiful, family-friendly spot to unwind and reconnect with nature.

Good for the soul, a bit noisy being so close to the road. Had a nice couple of walks friendly camp staff nice fire puts to rent, overall happy. For a quick close getaway I would say yes

Went there during a chill September afternoon for the first time, it’s so nice to have an easy access to the National Park from the city by riding the train. It is beside the park north western entrance. Lovely place and i am sure to be back in the future!

Lovely campground inside the Belair National Park, lots of wildlife and wonderful views of the park. Lots of trails to explore and experience. Many options for kiddos with great playgrounds and arcade room, plus the bike trails “bike track”. Clean and modern bathrooms and laundry.

Lorikeet Loop Walk was lovely, we spotted many birds, some Kangaroos and one Koala. We stayed one night in the caravan park, the amenities were spotless and with beautiful murals.

Great trails, beautiful scenery and lovely plants and wildlife. We went for the wild flowers and we were very happy. There are lovely orchids growing and all kids of other native flowers. I have mobility issues so the trail we chose (Microcarpa) took quite a lot longer than the 1 hour quoted. However a lot of it was fairly easy to do until we hit a section that was much more undulating. We know for next time though and will probably just do the first half then turn back.

A fascinating place for both history buffs and photographers. The affiliated museum is definitely worth visiting if you wish to get a quick sketch of the state’s past and present or run into some interesting stories behind exhibits. Last not but least, don’t miss the Holden exhibition!

Definitely worth to go, it is the kind of library has breathtaking views. Met a kind librarian offered a brief tour. It was great to know more about the place.

The Mortlock Wing of the State Library of SA, what an amazing library in a historical building. There are many old books. I guess none of the books is younger than me, although I am very old already. It's a very old building, but nicely maintained and equipped with air-conditioning. Self-studying inside this historical building would remind you to keep quiet and surrounded by so many historical books would definitely remind you it's time to read and study instead of doing other things. What surprised me was the skylight lay in the middle of the historical building. We see skylights everywhere nowadays in big shopping malls, universities and various commercial or government buildings. How come it was also in the mind of Architects 150 years ago when this historical building was designed and constructed?

Nice quiet state library, managed to spot some old black and white Adelaide photos. its a pity that Mortlock wing is under renovation possibly till September 2025.

It’s a shame that the Mortlock Chamber is closed for renovations as I really wanted to see it. The main library had a great exhibition on Holden cars. You can hire for free since small and large meeting rooms here. The National Archives are also here. I do feel that there was a lot of empty for space here though. It has a great foyer exhibit with its oldest artefact that it owns - a tiny Mesopotamian tablet. You can even go into the first State Library which is now the home of The Centre for Democracy.

beautiful place, enjoyable to review it. but less quite place to sit.

Chasing Hogwarts in Adelaide. The Mortlock Wing (1884) above the gallery was stunning! Well worth spending an hour exploring just this area. . Note - Silent study, and it's actually too dark to study and there's no lamps. It's a lot darker than in the professional photos too. . 📚 @statelibrarysa 📍 North Terrace, Adelaide 💵 Free entry, oddly no enforced cloakroom or security (huge contrast with Melbourne - fights about bringing in an EMPTY keepcup straight to the lockers, it's personal but I've had multiple panic attacks going to state lib of vic)

My mate and I jumped on our bikes and picked up the trail just south of The Adelaide Convention Centre and used the riverside cycling track as our guide all the way west to the St Vincent’s Gulf and then south along the beach towards the Adelaide Airport for some spectacular cross wind aircraft landings. The trail is very well made, signed and is quite beautiful to ride with varying vegetation areas and makes for a great way to spend several hours.

I just love all the parks, rivers and wetlands throughout Adelaide and surrounding areas. This was my first visit the Henley Beach section of the River Torrens Linear Park Trail. As it was late afternoon in the winter I only walked to the first river crossing but utterly enjoyed the experience. On this side (north side) there is for the most part two tracks near each other - one is bitumen and the other gravel. The runners and cyclists used the first and some of the walkers used the latter. Dogs on lead allowed and I was pleased to see that the owners of dogs adhered to this policy. Lots of frogs and water birds around. There is also some undercover seating, though not sure I saw any bins around so it's a matter of taking all rubbish home with you.

One of my favourite places to run! Gorgeous views, well kept path, water fill stations along the way!

Walked the length from the city to the beach in about 3 hours on a nice day with some good podcasts. Fairly easy walk, mostly in the shade.

The River Torrens Linear Park Trail in Adelaide, South Australia, is a remarkable asset for both locals and visitors. Stretching approximately 30 kilometers from the Adelaide Hills to the Gulf St Vincent, this trail offers a picturesque and versatile experience for walkers, runners, and cyclists alike. The River Torrens Linear Park Trail is a highly recommended destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Its blend of natural beauty, accessibility, and recreational opportunities makes it a standout feature of Adelaide’s urban landscape.

Very nice and calm place to go for a run along the beach☁️💕

Henley South to Lockleys section - beautiful since it was upgraded

Lovely Anglican cathedral in Adelaide. So nice to get a chance to kneel and say a prayer here. The building is spectacular as in the altar inside. They have a Lady’s Chapel too in honor of the Virgin Mary.

Lovely cathedral, just a short walk from the CBD. Worth a visit in the city of churches! And it’s opposite the botanical gardens so definitely worth a visit if you’re in Adelaide

All i can say is amazing scenery and view during sunrise and sunset, the vibrant colours and architectural style are a grandeur.

Went there to experience some of the best churches and cathedral in Adelaide and was stunned by the beauty and serenity of the place. The local care takers were gorgeous and helpful with a cute store to purchase some gifts for you family. They provide candles and matches for prayers. Whether you are religious or not, you can admire this cathedral.

Attended Candlelight Concert, Vivaldi's Four Seasons performed by Amicus Strings. The acoustics in the cathedral made the concert extra special!

Could not get inside, but the outside architecture does impress, very much in a style of traditional gothic cathedrals in The UK. Most impressive.

St Peter's Cathedral in Adelaide is a stunning architectural gem that gracefully represents the city's profound history and commitment to its religious legacy. The cathedral's majestic spires and elaborate stonework are a testament to the Gothic Revival style. The interior is truly breathtaking, with magnificent stained glass windows that cast a spectrum of colors across the sacred space, creating an atmosphere of reverence and tranquility. The history of St Peter's is as fascinating as its appearance. Constructed between 1869 and 1904, it has been a silent witness to the city's evolution and a steadfast symbol of faith for its community. The cathedral's role transcends religion, serving as a gathering place for the community and a venue for various cultural events. Visitors are often captivated by the cathedral's ability to blend historical significance with a sense of welcoming warmth, making it a must-visit destination for both worshippers and architecture enthusiasts alike.

The South Australian Aviation Museum provides a unique and exciting insight to the history of all things aircraft. There are over 10 main aircraft, such as the AP-3C Orion, Fokker F27 Friendship, and F-18 Hornet, split across two hangars. There is also a surprising collection of both military and commercial aircraft. Knowledgeable and passionate staff are able to give extensive information about missiles, planes, helicopters and more. Many old books are also able to purchased from the shop for under $5! My only criticism is that some interactive exhibits are in need of maintenance, including the flight simulator. Ultimately, my visit to South Australian Aviation Museum has been gratifying and worthwhile.

A fantastic experience for aviation enthusiasts and families alike! The collection is impressive, with well-preserved aircraft and plenty of informative displays. definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

This was a great rainy day outing for our preschoolers. They got in for free! Plenty of things to see and explore without getting into the video displays etc. They especially liked the little planes to fly around the hangars in.

Great place to understand Australia aviation history. Lots of old and new planes. Can go into some of the planes. Got cute kids push car for kids to ride. Museum is within walking distance of Port Dock metro station.

Visited here with my toddler and husband. We really enjoyed looking at all the aircraft and equipment displays. We very much enjoyed being able to go inside a bunch of the aircraft and learning about them. They have 2 big hangars with a good range of things to look at. Food and drinks not allowed in the museum but have a good area to sit between the hangars to have a snack break. They also have a good museum shop with toys, a wide range of model aeroplanes and souvenirs. Would definitely recommend this museum. You can also go to the other museums in the port area for a discounted price with min 2 months of the first visit.

I’m glad I visited this museum on the weekend. It's a popular spot and a great place to bring kids. You can see many unique planes, most of which are well-preserved, and some you can even enter and explore. The museum grounds have recently been upgraded with a larger parking area, making it more convenient for visitors. The best part is the friendly volunteers who are always eager to share interesting information about the exhibits. Overall, it's a fun and educational outing, and I highly recommend it for a weekend visit!

Fantastic experience. Didn't know what to expect but if you're doing the route of museums in Port Adelaide this is possibly the best! Tons of stuff to see great for families and enthusiasts alike.

Popular event each Sunday. Note occasional changes in location. Outdoor and indoor tents and stalls. Outdoor seating. Large number of vendors. Lots of vegan options. I bought from Let Them Eat (savoury pastries, salads, patties), Croissant d’Or Bakery, Yummy Veggies (pickled veg, dolmades), Darlin’ Dal (frozen pot-pies, lentil dal meal bases) and Cooinda’s dried-fruit. Several fruit-and-vegetable vendors, many organic or pesticide-free. Get there early, for shorter waits. Lovely music by three young people near the entrance. I spent about $80. Probably good to become a member, if you live in the area. (Aug 3, 2025)

they usually holding nearby the venue of royal adelaide show but the show is on going this time so the market has moved to Goodwood Primary School for three weeks the vibes is pretty nice here and many ppl come to have meal and grocery shopping here, looks so fun haa Adelaide Showground Farmers' Market rating of mine: 4

This is a “traditional” farmers market where local farmers & producers / artisans can only sell what they grow or make - locally. No interstate or imported goods. So please bear that in mind. To all the people that complain that it’s expensive, it’s your choice! if you don’t like the price, don’t buy it. Simple really, you the customer have the power.

The highlight of the week is going to the wonderful farmers market with my family, getting our coffee and hot chocolate from the amazing Mem then onto Patlins for most of our veg before picking up our of the fresh produce and of course a lavender brownie too! What a great way to start Sunday’s!!!!!

Very nice and clean farmers market. There's so many food stalls, bakeries, cakes, drinks, etc in the indoor area. You can listen to music since there's a few ladies playing the violin. The outdoor area also has some stalls selling drinks, sourdough, honey, etc. There's a number of covered seating area for you to dine and have your breakfast or brunch. There's a few vegetable stalls, fruit stall and one stall selling fish. Many people at the farmers market but not to worry as there are plenty of parking spaces. I think the flower stall is the best seller since so many people bought beautiful flowers from them and the price is reasonable.

For us, it it easy to get there, and the selection of South Australian produce is in most cases excellent. The atmosphere is relaxed with a personal touch. I also like that the market is flexible with its location, so it can pop up elsewhere if the main spot isn’t available.

Nice Farmers Market just a little south of the central part of town. It’s easily accessible by both train and tram (though unfortunately just a couple of stops outside the free tram zone). It has a wide variety of fresh produce as well as numerous stalls inside and outside selling food and drinks. It’s free to enter and worth the visit if you’re nearby. There seemed to be some similar vendors to the Central Market, though it had a much different vibe. FYI, try to get there earlier than later as things were starting to close up when we visited at noon.

Excellent venue showcasing indigenous artists, with a large, modern auditorium fills music and theater performances. The gift shop has some excellent goodies, paintings and souvenirs that you won't find easily elsewhere. We were there on survivor day and really enjoyed the atmosphere and sincere hospitality of the organisers.

This is a great space that's within the CBD of Adelaide. It has a huge gallery space and a theatre performance space.

Beautiful space, warm welcome at any time & amazing stories to enjoy - a huge asset to the State

Closed at 2:30 today (Friday) which is apparently during opening hours.

The Fringe event "Yabarra - Dreaming in light" is a beautiful interactive, immersive experience with an important message about how we need to wake up and think about how we treat the environment around us.

Always a great visiting exhibition .Awesome staff ... Very very tempting gift shop .... Indigenous enterprise at its fairest and best ...Brilliant business

Is not open. Travelled far to get here from Sydney - very disappointed. There is some level of responsibility to keep people informed otherwise you lose business.

Our family loves this park! It has wide open spaces, beautiful plants and trees, lots of shade, bbqs for use, plenty of seating, a quaint little cafe and an accessible playground that our son LOVES! Big ticks for being inclusive, free and fun!

Beautiful park with family-friendly space. Playgrounds, walking & cycling paths, picnic & BBQ facilities, plus a cafe nearby. Very clean, peaceful, and easy to spend a few hours relaxing.

Located on the northwest side of the River Torrens, Bonython Park is a 17-hectare park bordering Port Road. Bike paths surround this large campus. Spacious children's playground with modern and amazing equipment. An ideal place for a picnic during the day with outdoor grills, tables, and chairs with the roof. Drinking water is available from the tap. Public restrooms are available. Ample parking. Highly recommended.

Nice park with running & bike track. Creek & small water spots are nice to see. Lots of space around. Could do with some BBQ’s / BBQ areas.

Plenty of parking, toilet facilities, kids playground, walking/cycling tracks and lots and lots of open space to relax. Dog friendly park (on lead for the most part) as well as an off lead dog park at a short walk. A couple of cafes are also available.. one next to the golf course if you keep walking to the linear park trail.

Everywhere you look, is picture perfect. Stunning surrounds, walks, trails, playground, toilet, plentiful areas for picnics and all out amazing. If you haven't ventured here, put it in your bucket list. So much to see. Loads of parking. be careful not to park along the parklands, you'll be fined! My girls love the bunyip trail...

Fun for the whole family, has been there many years some things are the same and the equipment was nice, able to be used by children and adults and grand children. Wide open green grass spaces for frisbee, dogs, ball games. Walk by the river or over the river on the train bridge which has a safe pedestrian walkway side by side able to watch the trains or the river and water birds below.

Excellent board walk along the rugged coastline of the Hallett Cove Conservation Park. There are a few spots along the way where you can venture down towards the water. The views are stunning 😍. This board walk is also part of the Marion coastal trail, which is about 7 km long. There is interpretive signage along the route describing the park's cultural and geological heritage, including evidence of an Australian ice-age some 280 million years ago 😳.

Sea breezes && sunsets here! Bring some water and your comfiest walking shoes & forget the world. That nature place to replenish, to have those healing moments and rejuuuuV!

We walk here often—it’s easily one of Adelaide’s most stunning coastal walks. In fact, I’d go so far as to say it’s Adelaide’s best walk (yes, much better than Mount Lofty in my opinion). The dramatic cliffs, ocean views, and changing light make every walk a bit different. I recommend starting your journey at either The Nest Café or Marino Rocks Café—both offer a great pre-walk coffee and a good vibe to kick things off. From there, follow the well-maintained boardwalk as it winds along the coast. At a moderate pace, it’ll take you about an hour to reach Hallett Cove’s Boatshed Café. The scenery along the way is spectacular: rugged cliffs, crashing waves, sea birds, and on a clear day, sweeping views of the Gulf. It’s great for photographers, nature lovers, or anyone just needing a bit of headspace. Once you reach the Boatshed Café, grab a coffee or a smoothie, then take some time to explore the area behind the café. You’ll find some of the region’s most fascinating geological features—ancient glacial pavements, clay formations, and layered rock that tell a story millions of years old. Perfect for a weekend stroll, a catch-up walk with friends, or even a peaceful solo outing. Just bring water, decent shoes, and maybe a windbreaker if it’s breezy.

Beautiful place - bring a hat!! And be ready for a nice long walk:)

Good stretch of coast and interesting walk..be prepared for the steps though! I walked from Hallett Cove Beach to Brighton Jetty.

Very serene and relax. Perfect for family outing, nature walk or any reason to get away from city hustles.

Absolutely phenomenal walk! Coming from Brisbane we don’t have anything like that 🙌🏻 Impressed with the picturesque view, well built wooden boardwalk and informative signs. Our kids (9 & 6) learned a lot about the origin of the landscape. I wish we lived nearby to have that walk as our family regular routine.

We had a great time at Lollipop Playground Café! The big play castle was a huge hit with the kids — they loved climbing, sliding, and exploring every part of it. It felt safe and well-maintained, which gave us peace of mind while they played. The food was surprisingly good too — fresh, tasty, and there were plenty of options for both kids and adults. It’s so nice to find a play café where parents can relax and enjoy a nice meal while the kids have fun. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for families. We’ll definitely be back!

Lollipop Playground in Croydon is a great spot for families. There are plenty of fun activities to keep the kids entertained, and the food court makes it easy for parents to relax while the little ones play.

The Grand children had a great time here. It's definitely the best play Cafe I've been to for variety of activities. Lots of parking available as well. Staff were friendly. Children were never bored. There are also 3 Op shops in the same complex if the adults want to rummage for some vintage wares.

Great range of areas for the kids to play...fast slides and free pirate ship ride every hour....

Fantastic for birthday parties. The food and layout is really well done and means parents can chat and rest outside the party rooms whilst the kids eat etc. They also heavily padded all the play equipment so it's quite safe though that slide is huge!

Fun for littles on rainy days. Can be very busy on weekends, we did go on a long weekend and was actually kind of quiet and so much more pleasant for the parents (no bday parties!)

We celebrated our child’s birthday at this Playcafe and had a wonderful experience! 🎉 The space is large, giving the kids plenty of room to play, and everything is clean and well-maintained. The prices are very reasonable, offering great value for money. The children had an amazing time — highly recommended for hosting kids’ parties!
