Rices Creek is tucked away in the picturesque town of Auburn, surrounded by a beautiful native garden, vineyards, and an olive grove. One of the highlights is the full 18-hole mini golf course, which was a fantastic way to spend an hour or so with the family with visiting the Clare Valley region. The kids had an absolute blast, and even Dad mentioned that the course was surprisingly great – challenging enough to keep everyone engaged.
The cafe overlooks the mini golf course and although we didn’t have time to grab a coffee or an ice cream (much to the kids’ disgust), but the cafe looked really cute and would’ve been the perfect spot to linger a bit longer. There’s also a fully enclosed courtyard, making it ideal for families, with a children’s playground just nearby. There’s also a large sheltered seating area next to the playground, with extra games to keep the kids entertained while you relax.
Our round of mini golf set us back $30 for a family of two adults and two children, which we thought was pretty decently priced. It was the perfect activity for quality family time in a lovely outdoor setting and a great way to keep the kids entertained before we headed off to wineries!

Located in Regency Park and now also in Paralowie, you can forget about novelty clown heads and spinning windmills here. Unlike anything in the Southern Hemisphere, SHANX Mini Golf looks exactly like a standard golf course — only it’s been shrunk down to miniature size. It was created as a way of making golf accessible to anyone and everyone, no matter your age, gender or skill level. SHANX Regency Park sits on the edge of the Regency Park Golf Course and SHANX Little Para is on the same site as the Little Para Golf Course, so you can watch the pros go by while you putt your way around the eighteen holes. You’ll come across bunkers, twists and turns as you make your way across the green, and each hole has two courses to choose from: and easier option for those just getting started, or the SHANX Course for those looking for a challenge. Everything is provided, including a club and ball per person as well as a scoring card for the group. SHANX @ Regency Park + @ Little Para are Australia’s best mini golf courses and they're right here in Adelaide! It’s never been more important to find…

A South Australian icon for more than 55 years, the Pancake Kitchen always makes me nostalgic for my childhood. It was so exciting to head to that nook of Gilbert St & be allowed to eat pancakes for dinner! I can still smell the maple syrup & remember looking at the menu wondering who on earth would eat bacon on pancakes (adult me, that's who). Does anyone else remember the jukebox out in the back room? The original Spotify! It may have changed a bit since then, but The Original Pancake Kitchen is still a hit with kids & makes the perfect family dining spot. It is also now in THREE different locations across Adelaide. The original Gilbert St restaurant has had little pancake babies (pikelets?) & is now also found in Modbury & now inside the Marion Cultural Centre. Of course, it goes without saying that the pancakes are amazing. There are so many different options to choose from including sweet & savory options in small, regular or tall stacks. If pancakes aren't your thing, you can grab something from the all-day breakfast menu or is you need some meat on your plate, Pancake Kitchens also double as a…
