Adelaide Cake Makers / Birthday Party Catering

The birthday cake is the main event at a kids birthday party and it’s what the birthday girl or boy looks forward to the most – maybe apart from the pressies! There’s a bit of pressure coming up with the perfect cake and lets face it, not all of us have the energy or the gift of the bake. So if you’re a little challenged in the kitchen, before you go dusting off the Women’s Weekly Celebration cake book for another #bakefail – why not let the...

Coffee Barn and Gelateria, Moonta

If you take a trip to Moonta and only stay in the main street or on the foreshore, you’re doing it wrong! Head less than 5 minutes from the Moonta town centre, down Spencer Hwy and you’ll find the hidden gem, that is the Coffee Barn and Gelateria! Well, we say hidden but the Coffee Barn and Gelateria is such a Copper Coast icon, that everyone in town will be telling you to visit anyway! Carl and Emma bought the business a few years...

The Shores Eatery, Wallaroo

It’s called The Shores Eatery for a reason! You’ll find this fabulous cafe right on the foreshore at Wallaroo at the end of the Jetty – we think it’s one of the best places to eat on the Yorke Peninsula. Great food, great views, great service and a great welcoming vibe for the kids. Let’s start with that- as soon as we walked in the kids spotted the basket of bubbles and chalk on the counter and were thrilled to be...

HJ & Brian Cook Native Animal Reserve, Minlaton

Right across the road from the Minlaton Caravan Park and the Minlaton Playground is the HJ & Brian Cook Native Animal Reserve. You can’t go inside, but take the kids for a walk around the perimeter to have a look at the emus, wallabies and birdlife. There are a few shady seats around the outside for you to sit and watch the animals. The emus were as curious about us as we were about them and followed us the whole way around! When we...

Innes National Park is located on the Yorke Peninsula, around 3.5 hours from Adelaide.

Price Community Playground | Yorke Peninsula

Find it at: Fowler Terrace, Price We have found the perfect stop for the kids to stretch their legs, get some fresh air and have a snack while you are road tripping on the Yorke Peninsula. Price is on the eastern side of the leg (back of the thigh, if you will!), about half an hour before Ardrossan. It’s not a huge town, it’s known mainly for its salt processing plant but the playground sits on the edge of the town adjacent the salt flats and...

The Vine Shed, McLaren Vale

We love a family friendly winery and they don’t come much better than Vine Shed, in McLaren Vale on the wonderful Fleurieu Peninsula. If you haven’t been here yet, clear the diary and book in for lunch, wine tasting or some live music with the whole family at this stunner of a cellar door!

Do The Royal Adelaide Show for 100 Bucks

It’s Show Time baby! The Royal Adelaide Show is back from 31 August – 8 September 2024, and we couldn’t be more excited! But as fellow parents, we know that the thought of a day out at the Show can be a bit overwhelming, especially with the potential for a hefty price tag. If you’re okay with letting the kids spend the day in the Carnival area, collecting more Showbags than they can carry, and enjoying every sweet treat in sight, your...

Adelaide’s Best Burgers

Who doesn’t love a burger? The KiA team have slipped on their stretchy pants (ok that was just Tim) and taken to the streets to find the best family burgers. Fair to say our gastro mission uncovered some serious burger gold. Some we always knew were good, some we had to search bloody hard for and some, well we can’t actually tell you about, because burger disappointment is a real thing. We want fresh buns, tasty flame grilled meats, fancy...

Adelaide Best Playgrounds for Toddlers

When we think of the playgrounds for toddlers we think of one key thing FENCES. Anything else is pretty much a bonus! We also look for swings, toilets and, even better, a nice shaded space. These things are not always possible (why don’t ALL playgrounds have fences ALL the way around?!), but check out these playgrounds around Adelaide that we think your kids- and you- will love [catlist id=1175 thumbnail=yes]

Best Fish & Chips in Adelaide

FISH AND CHIPS. Who doesn’t love it?

Battered, crumbed or grilled, we are pretty spoilt for quality options in South Australia and there’s just something about unwrapping the paper to reveal a delicious piece of fresh fish, being gently...

Springfree® Trampoline Review

Ever heard of a square trampoline? Didn’t realise that was even possible? I didn’t either until I found out about Springfree® Trampolines and their range of not only standard round trampolines, but also their ingenious range pf oval and SQUARE trampolines! The days of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole (or in this case a round trampoline in a square garden) are over! But more about that later. Not only can you choose your...

Barbie Movie Review

Half of the Kids in Adelaide team pinked up and went out to see the Barbie movie this weekend. The youngest is 8 years old, the oldest is….. (don’t worry we’ll keep that a secret Nanna)We’ve all had different opinions on it. No one hated it, most of us loved it, a couple of us thought it was good but not as great as was hoped, and isn’t that in itself actually just brilliant. We’ve all been out with our families this weekend, to see a...

Best Sushi in Adelaide (for kids)

Welcome to the ultimate sushi adventure in Adelaide, where even the pickiest little eaters will become sushi enthusiasts! Either that or they will continue to ask for sushi with no seaweed like my kids. Rice, my kids say they eat sushi but basically they just eat rice. However at Kids in Adelaide, we’ve embarked on a mission to uncover the city’s best sushi spots that cater specifically to kids (and their discerning taste buds). Prepare for a...
