A family friendly restaurant with a built in kids cinema? Shut up and take my money! The newly renovated Tower Hotel, out on Magill Road at Magill is a majestic old property that has been an icon in the area since around 1840! The renovations have done wonders, with a number of different areas within the precinct catering to pretty much everyone, with a great family area, spacious outdoor area that would be perfect in summer and sports and cocktail bars.
During our visit with the fam, we sat in the lovely family seating room adjacent to the kids cinema. Thats right it has its own cinema, complete with raised bench seating and projector, it was actually hard to get the kids back to the table to eat their food. Speaking of the food, the kids menu has everything you want here at a good price ($10 bucks which includes a small ice cream for dessert), but it would be remiss of us to not mention that the kids hotdog is about half a metre long. Credit to Mr 7 who gave it all he could, but it is good to know that your kids won’t leave here hungry.
For the parents (or in our case, the teens who can ‘no longer eat from the kids menu because they want to be adults….without the paying their way bit’) there is the usual pub fare which they do well, with plenty of variety to keep you coming back to try something new.
It is overall, just a beautiful and relaxing spot. Have a crack in the gaming room if it takes your fancy, but we will definitely be back in the warmer months to have a dinner in the outdoor areas (I mean the kids can sit in the cinema can’t they!) The milkshakes we grabbed weren’t on the menu in case your crew love a milkshake as much as ours, you can just ask and they will sort you out. A well priced, relaxing, spacious and beautifully renovated spot that caters really well for families. Definitely worth checking out!

Uraidla Hotel, simultaneously best and worst pub in Uraidla (that's kind of the joke because it is the ONLY pub in Uraidla), but if you are only going to have one pub in a country town it better be a good one right.....? Well let us tell you.....it is. It definitely is! Only 20 minutes from the city (how lucky are we to have this beauty right on our doorstep), this stunning location was perfect when we popped in to help celebrate a family birthday recently. I mean look at the photos, you can almost smell that clean, crisp country air can't you! The kids loved the spacious outdoor areas complete with outdoor games (Jenga for the win), totem tennis and a nice little playground. There's also a footy oval a few metres away. Food wise Mr 7 highly recommends the kids Meatball Macaroni Bake which at just $12 bucks is spot on value wise. Our older kids were left wishing they were under 12 as well so they could try the chicken bacon parmi, and the macaroni bake with cashew cheese sounds delish - and a nice option for kids who are dairy free or vegan. A nice range…

Here at Kids in Adelaide you know we LOVE a local place we can take the family for a meal that everyone will enjoy, and the Paradise Hotel is just that place - it even has an indoor cinema! In fact, the Paradise Hotel caters for families so well, they have TWO cinemas to make sure all the kids enjoy their visit as much as the adults do! The folks at Paradise Hotel have really thought of everything for families with children wanting to dine out. Having been recently renovated, the whole place is looking great and there is now a dedicated family section, with a range of tables that look straight into the 2 indoor cinema rooms. Children can enjoy a range of in-house movies or ABC Kids etc in the multi-row cinema rooms while the adults sit comfortably just meters away and able to keep an eye on them through the windows. Our kids had a ball watching Bluey and other faves while they waited for their lunch to arrive. Speaking of lunch - it comes highly recommended! The decent sized children's meals were a hit with the youngsters, while older children and adults will enjoy a great…

Where: 32 Gawler Street, Mount BarkerFollow them on Facebook hereFollow them on Instagram hereCheck out their website herePhone: (08) 8391 1003 We love a good pub feed and were excited to head up to Mt Barker to try out one of the best pubs in the hills, not only because we had heard great things about the food, but they have an in-house magician! You heard right! Magic and a schnitty. What bliss! Each Wednesday from 6pm til 8pm during school holidays (usually it is more often but covid has stuffed the schedule this year of course!), Rich Tieger Magic is in the bistro area ready to entertain the kids (and adults) with his exceptional family friendly tricks and skills. With a combination of magic and card tricks, sleight of hand fun, great banter and some of the best balloon art (because this isn’t your usual balloon dog with a tail) you will see. Our crew absolutely loved Rich’ antics and this really sets a family meal at The Barker above standard pub fare. It was a real treat and we can’t wait to go back. But how is the pub itself? The Barker is located on the picturesque main street at Mt Barker,…
