Things To Do in Adelaide SA With Kids
Welcome to South Australia’s cosmopolitan coastal capital – Adelaide is an area of enjoyment, known for its festivals, sumptuous and delightful food, and the premium wine regions adults will always adore. It is also a tourist spot because of its exceptional beaches, with a lot of tourists flocking the area all year round. All the more, it’s also a livable city; with one of the lowest costs of living among all mainland capital cities in Australia, and considered one of the finest locations to reside or even just have a quick weekend with your family regardless if you have a budget or not.
Yet, when you’re considering visiting the place, somehow it can just be confusing planning what to do there. Sure you can do whatever you want with adults, but when you’re with your family with a bunch of kids around, it can get confusing how you can entertain them and avoid tantrums during the trip – we all hate it. But don’t let that thought keep your trip to Adelaide on hold; you may do these things if you’re around kids.
Join a Festival
Festivals are more than just booze and dancing – it’s about getting immersed in the culture of a place while enjoying the bounty of arts and crafts of the location you’re in. Well if you’re in Adelaide, you can join a festival, of course with the kids too!

While it only happens 4 weeks from February to March, it is considered a brilliant family event for kids of all ages. The festival offers many activities such as the Splash Test Dummies with slapstick comedy, physical circus, and a hunch of humor that grownups can also relate to. More so, they have the Petit Circus – Bon Appetit, serving you a lot of juggling and aerial acrobatics with the most talented performers where you’re just gonna take your hats off. Additionally, your family can end the festival with the Sky Song – a light and sound show that showcases the culture, tradition, and history of the people in Adelaide. Hence, it’s all just endless fun and performances and the list just goes on and on.
We’re sure the whole family will never get bored with a festival that’s made not only for kids but for all ages as well.
