When you’re looking for activities to do with your tweens and teens, you probably want to make sure they tick three key boxes:
- They aren’t too expensive (so they can bring a friend perhaps)
- Keep them mentally or physically active (so you can avoid the dreaded, “I’m bored. This sucks.”
- Something that is supervised, but where you could still allow them their “independence” while keeping an eye on them!
So here are ten of the best for your teens and tweens to enjoy in Adelaide…
Bounce
Bounce is always going to be a favourite for your tweens and teens. You’ll probably enjoy having a jump too (provided your pelvic floor is up to it that is!).
TreeClimb
Move over Tarzan, TreeClimb is the Adelaide City Parklands’ newest attraction and it’s calling all energetic, outdoors loving adventurers – young and old! Thrill-seekers, nature enthusiasts and curious adventurers can walk, climb and swing your way around six elevated tree-walk courses, 70 obstacles and several zip lines within a 16,000-square-metre zone.
Shadow Initiation
The Shadow Initiation is an Australian first. A digital adventure game that has you racing against the clock, solving puzzles, decoding clues and uncovering hidden treasures. There are secret buttons, hidden doors and plenty more that you can discover only by playing The Shadow Initiation.
