When it's time to let the kids run loose, it's time for Adelaide's kid-friendly attractions. It's not all playgrounds and jungle gyms, these attractions are truly fun for the whole family -- and the inner child in you. A must-visit is The Beachouse, Adelaide's favorite fun house. Situated in Glenelg, Adelaide's premiere beachside suburb, this exciting fun house promises a day of entertainment for the whole family. Features include the Soli Italian Formula One dodgem cars, a five-story high play castle, a Ferris wheel, bumper boats, mini golf, a fabulous carousel, various arcade games, and three fully enclosed and heated water slides that will have you reaching super speeds in no time at all.
Especially fun for kids, check out the Port Dock Station Railway Museum. In 1856, the British Empire opened the first government-owned steam railway. Known as the "Port Dock," the railway ran between Adelaide and Port Adelaide. Now residing on the site of the Port Dock station is Australia's largest undercover collection of locomotives, passenger carriages and freight vehicles -- every child's train set dream come true. There are railway signals and gauges, steam-engine and diesel locomotives, plus a complete history of South Australian railways. You can even ride a three and a half kilometer steam railway journey along the shore.
For a hands-on visit with kangaroos and koalas in a scenic park, visit the Cleland Wildlife Park. Operating within heritage-listed Cleland Conservation Park, this wildlife park is set in stringy bark eucalyptus tree forest, and offers pleasant walking opportunities. Wander freely amongst kangaroos, wallabies, emus and waterfowl. Hand-feed the friendly kangaroos, and cuddle a koala. Book a guided night walk and enjoy the nocturnal marsupials. Adelaide hosts a whole range of activities for kids -- young and old. So, go ahead, have the time of your life at these family-friendly Adelaide attractions.
