Adelaide Family Friendly Dining | Venues with Play Areas

August 9, 2024

Adelaide pubs, cafes and restaurants with playgrounds, play spaces or play equipment for kids.

Looking for somewhere family friendly to eat where the kids can play while you sit and relax? You’ll find plenty of fantastic venues all around Adelaide with playgrounds and playspaces alongside their dining areas.

Not only do these family friendly places offer great kids’ menus to keep fussy eaters happy but they also offer play areas like playgrounds, movie theatre rooms or games rooms. Most of the play areas are located inside under cover, but a few venues also have dedicated play areas outside. They are generally located close enough to the dining area so that parents can sit down and enjoy their meal while watching their kids slide, climb and play.

We’ve put together a guide below so that you can plan your next family dining out occasion with kids in tow.

Play & Go Reviews – Dining Venues with Play Areas

We all know that dining out with younger kids can be challenging at times and when you find an eatery with a grassy play area for kids to run around, or somewhere with arcade games, a playground or cinema room it’s an absolute win! It means parents can sit and enjoy a meal while the kids can go and play. A lot of the spaces have been thoughtfully designed with families in mind so that you can keep an eye on your kids and but still have them within close reach while they entertain themselves.

Below you’ll find our reviews of places to eat which have a playground or a play area for the kids.
