Kid-friendly Things-To-Do in Adelaide

Tourism Australia has ‘spied’ some of the best kid-friendly pit stops and activities for families to ‘spy’ on their next city trip.

I spy cricket fans

Cricket-fanatic families can take a tour of the Adelaide Oval and try the RoofClimb on top of the iconic ovals Western Stand for 360 views of Adelaide and beyond – the perfect place to ‘spy’ some of Aelaide’s most iconic landmarks.

I spy Japanese garden

For some innercity serenity head to Adelaide-Himeji Garden. The free garden is the perfect place for kids to explore, with everything from water features to giant Bonsai’s, and a great pit stop for an afternoon snack.

I spy a koala having breakfast

Stop by Cleland Conservation Park to see some of Australia’s native animals in their natural habitat. Families willing to brave an early wake-up call can join the Breakfast with the Birds experience an exclusive tour with the Bird Keeper before the park opens, or even hold a koala!

I spy an adrenalin kick

Visit Skymate at Mega Adventure Adelaide. The aerial structure (18 kangaroos high) will take adventure to a whole new level of fun. Kids can do everything from playing tennis in the sky, rowing a boat mid-air or maneuvering between obstacles from a floating esky, BMX bike and sky-high picnic table. For those looking to enjoy the views without a harness, they can explore the SkyWalk and take 83 steps to the top of the viewing platform for uninterrupted views across the Adelaide Hills and Western shoreline.

I spy an ancient jail

Take the kids by one of South Australia’s oldest buildings, the Adelaide Gaol. Home to some of the states most notorious and dangerous criminals over 147 years, visitors can walk through the Goal and experience what life was like behind bars for Adelaide’s prisoners from 1841 to 1988.
