Discover Art in the Streets
Public Art in Adelaide
Adelaide's artistry spills out of its galleries, brightening up streets, laneways and playgrounds across the city. Put on your walking shoes and simply wander to discover local street art gems. Build your own trail for a leisurely day out or make a quick stop while you grab a bite nearby. With lots of room to move and play, little minds can get curious at their own pace.
Notable spots to explore include the Morphett Street Bridge, North Terrace and Bentham Street.
Indoor Water Play
Adelaide Aquatic Centre
Grab your water babies and head to the Adelaide Aquatic Centre for water play no matter the weather. With extended opening hours for school holidays, there are plenty of activities to thrill and delight.
Fast track your kiddos' confidence in and out of the pool with some swimming lessons or let your fearless kids have at the giant tubular water slides.
And if they're still not tuckered out after splashing around? Head to the Bush Magic Playground on Jeffcott Street for a fun bonus adventure.
Feed the Animals
