If you’ve got kids who love all things ocean, the Marine Discovery Centre at Henley Beach is definitely one to have on your radar!

Their workshops and open days are packed with things to explore - aquariums, fishing games, microscopes, VR, craft, movies and even live fish feeding! 🐟🔬

We love that kids can explore at their own pace and follow what catches their interest - our kids didn’t want to leave! 💙

The Centre isn’t generally open to the public, so keep an eye out for upcoming events and book early.

Hop on down to the Port for an unforgettable weekend at River Night Walk 2026.🐸

Brought to you by the @cityofpae as part of @salafestival Port Adelaide will be transformed into a vibrant celebration of art, music and community.

Explore as the waterfront becomes home to giant illuminated frogs, and be captivated by large-scale drawing projections and sound that guide you on a visual journey.

Across the weekend, enjoy an exciting lineup of live music curated by Porch Records, explore exhibitions by South Australian artists, get hands-on with workshops, interact with the Escarglow roving performers and discover the Meandering Markets filled with local makers, artists and handcrafted goods.

Whether you go for the art, the music, the markets or simply to experience Port Adelaide in a whole new light, River Night Walk is an evening not to be missed.

📅 Friday 14 August to Sunday 16 August, 5pm–9pm

Have you tried this pole vaulting cliff rider yet?
When our young reviewer tested it out she declared it’s “The best thing ever!”

Just comment: pole
and we’ll send you all the details straight to your DMs (just make sure you’re following our account for us to message you).

We love that it’s something a little bit different to the usual playground equipment.

It’s part of The Entrance Playground @cityofplayford

Reading Revolution returns Tuesday 25 August from 6:30pm – 8:00pm at @straphaelsprimaryschool Parkside.

In just 90 minutes, children will help create a brand‑new story, discover new books and build confidence as readers. This is not a typical “reading night” - it’s a fun, free, interactive evening where children step into the role of storyteller.

The event includes a lively theatrical storytelling experience, a favourite‑book sharing opportunity and a relaxed book swap.

Great for families with children from toddler to Year 6.

Activities are tailored by age group, with separate workshops so all learners are engaged.

Places are limited, please RSVP via the link in our bio

“A child lost in a book is a child found in success.
It’s time to revolutionise reading together.” ...
