Adelaide International – Kids Day
The Adelaide International Kids’ Day is back for 2026 and it’s shaping up to be one of the best school holiday events in Adelaide this summer.
Taking over Pinky Flat on Monday 12 January 2026, Kids’ Day is a family-friendly celebration that combines live tennis at The Drive with a huge line-up of kids activities, games and entertainment just across the river. It’s relaxed, easy to navigate and a great option for families wanting a full day out during the January school holidays.
Kids can jump in and get active with Hot Shots Tennis, inflatable tennis games and giant lawn games set up under the shady trees, while parents enjoy food trucks, cold drinks and plenty of space to spread out on the lawns. There’s a real festival feel, with something to suit toddlers right through to tweens and teens.
A general admission ticket includes access to all Kids’ Day activities at Pinky Flat, plus the chance to watch world-class tennis courtside at The Drive — making it a great-value family outing and a popular choice for Adelaide families year after year.
