Laneway Boulders in Stepney offers a welcoming indoor bouldering experience for kids aged 8+, teens and adults of all abilities. Whether you’re pulling on for the first time or working on your latest project, the climbs are thoughtfully set to suit every level — keeping things fun, engaging and appropriately challenging for everyone.
Family passes are available, making it easy for adults to get involved and climb alongside their kids. The venue is fully air-conditioned, making it a great activity rain, heat or shine.
Bouldering is a powerful way to support kids’ physical and mental wellbeing. It builds strength, balance, coordination and mobility, while also encouraging problem-solving, focus and resilience. Each climb is like a puzzle, helping kids learn to try different approaches, manage frustration and build confidence through progress. Unlike many traditional sports, climbing allows children to move at their own pace, making it especially appealing for kids who don’t always connect with structured team environments.
Climbing is also a highly social and inclusive activity, where kids can climb independently or alongside friends, sharing ideas and cheering each other on. At Laneway Boulders, community is at the heart of the space. For young climbers wanting to progress further, Youth Squad launches in Term 1, 2026, offering weekly small-group coaching with membership included, along with climbing shoe and chalk hire, so kids can make the most of the space for the school term. Parents can relax between climbs in the café seating area, enjoying locally roasted barista coffee, light snacks and cold drinks, while kids stay active, challenged and engaged.

If you or your kids love cricket, footy or just a bit of an adrenaline rush, you NEED to do RoofClimb at Adelaide! It's also great for conquering fears, some family bonding or as an activity to do with interstate or overseas visitors. Got a birthday coming up this year for a tricky to buy for kid?...this is it! (Note: children 8-15 need an adult to climb with, but that's all the more fun for you!) We gave RoofClimb a go recently and loved it! There are a range of RoofClimb adventures you can choose from including day climbs, twilight climbs, or even watch sporting events from the roof! You will be in a group, guided by a RoofClimb leader with an earpiece in so they can give you some commentary and cool facts about the Oval and of course let you know all the safety bits and pieces about your climb. Speaking of safety - we aren't that keen on heights but felt completely safe and at ease the whole time during our climb. Your leader will take you through a practise of the "lean out" which is the iconic pose you see in the all the photos, but…

Ahhh mini golf, miniature golf, putt-putt, mini putt, 'the place where dad gets angry and over-competitive'. Known by many names and enjoyed by all (except parents of 6 year olds who think they are playing hockey and belts balls at a million miles an hour all over the place), this shrunken down version of golf is renowned the world over as the ideal place for families to set aside their differences and to come together in joyful and friendly competition for an hour or so. That is obviously a total lie, with this in fact being the area in which the competitive beasts within most kids is awoken, with the slightest 'bending' of the rules usually being loudly called out, resulting in threats of 'behave or there will be no mcflurry on the way home'. All that friendly family banter aside, we love us some mini golf. From the whacky course designs to fact all ages can have a go, there is so much to love about this as an ideal family friendly activity. You just need to curb that one person in your family who becomes a little bit too aggressive and competitive with club and ball in their…
