Find it at: 46 California Avenue, Craigmore Fancy an open space that’s not too BUSY but still good enough to entertain any age kids? This might be one worth checking out! We ventured a little further North to visit California Reserve and we’re so glad we did! Upgraded in 2022, the space was relatively quiet, making a nice change to the busier playgrounds we normally frequent. The reserve showcases a variety of things to do for...

Picture this. You’ve been up most of the night with a teething baby and at 5 am, your 4-year-old decides it’s time to play. You feel so exhausted you wonder if it’s possible to fall asleep standing (the answer is no, FYI). Cue a caffeine fix, because everything is just a bit (or a tonne) better with a great cup of coffee. The kids in tow will love High Street Cafe so much, that meeting up with friends for a chinwag, will be a...

We may have just found Adelaide’s most charming, family friendly spot to eat, that caters to both parents and kids. White Picket Coffee House, on the Eastern city fringe, serves up some brilliant kid-friendly menu options in a spacious setting with a choice of indoor tables, enclosed verandah tables, or our favourite, the rear courtyard/ garden setting complete with a sweet little cottage style cubby house! I think the fact that the rear...

Day drinking becomes a difficult task when you have children, trust me. I know because I like beer, a lot. But I also like our kids, a lot. In fact, if I had to choose, I’d definitely pick our kids over beer. But, it shouldn’t have to be an either-or situation because the undeniable truth is, people like to conregate over drinks and guess what? Parents are people too. Lo and behold, The Suburban Brew – a brewery catering to...

Located on Main South Road at Hackham, as far as child friendly pubs in Adelaide go, The Aussie ticks a lot of boxes. Offering the laid-back atmosphere you need when venturing out with the little...

Beer loving parents in Adelaide have a friend at Pirate Life Brewing and I for one, think it’s about damn time! As parents of young kids, my partner and I occasionally NEED a strong drink. Sometimes we simply enjoy the subtleties of a frothy pale ale or a full-bodied IPA, and seeing as we’re also human, we deserve to leave the house every now and again too. We love a good Sunday Session which let me add, doesn’t necessarily...

I feel like a family holiday should be mandatory… at least once a year. I know, I know, not everyone is in the position (financially or otherwise) to jet-set all over the country BUT if holidaying with little ones has taught me one thing, it’s that happiness is contagious. Booking travel is a sure way to give your family that little spark of excitement, especially after the couple of years we’ve had with COVID and what not....

When you have a baby or a young child, sometimes you just want to get out of the house and feel like a part of society. Enjoy a hot drink and perhaps some adult conversation. Is that too much to ask? An awesome kids’ menu and an indoor playground are positive signs a cafe welcomes customers with children. But as a mum of a 2 and 4 year old, I know being kid-friendly is more than just that, it’s an attitude. It’s offering...
