Discover some of the best family friendly things to do around Adelaide this Spring.
Spring is the perfect time to get outdoors as a family and explore everything Adelaide has to offer as we start to enjoy warmer weather and longer days. There’s no better time to get outside and make the most of Adelaide’s walking trails, parks, gardens and playgrounds.
Spring is also the perfect time to visit a wildlife park or reservoir, burn some energy at one of our fabulous outdoor activity centres or attend a show or festival.
