Finding the ideal dining venue for the whole family can be a challenge, especially with little ones to consider. Fortunately we are spoilt for choice in Adelaide with a fabulous variety of places that cater to families with children.
The Play & Go team love to get out and about and we have a great list of venues tried and tested with kids of all ages. Find bakeries, cafes, restaurants and pubs around Adelaide which are family friendly. Some have playgrounds or play areas, some have games and indoor cinemas, and others have outdoor grassy areas for the kids to run around.
Unless stated otherwise, our Play & Go Reviews for places to eat are not sponsored. They are written independently by our Review Team. We pay for our meals and don’t usually let the place know that we are reviewing. We don’t write about all the places we visit, only the ones we think are worth sharing.
