This is a good place for novice bird watchers.
And a fun place for the young at heart,
Flying foxes and slides and amenities nearby.

Beautiful spot! Make sure you go to the kiosk next to the boat ramp to get a key first though (learnt that from experience 😂). The boardwalk needs repair and it looks like a part of the mangroves need some expert attention, but still well worth the trip
Bianca Paterson — Google review
Still unable to access full loop due to boardwalk needing repair but we still thought it was ok & scenic. I went with my 3yr old son and as the forest turned green, parts of the walk got a little slippery so hold little ones hands and get them to slow down. Some pretty spots hidden throughout and could see small fish swimming in the shallow waters which my son loved. Toilets available near main entrance.

Very quiet and beautiful trail through the mangroves. Unfortunately they haven’t repaired the boardwalk, so The trail only goes to the lookout and return the same way. Before you arrive make sure to ring the tackle shop to see if they are open so you can collect the key from the shop. It can be closed as the tide goes over the boardwalk.

Beautiful place with really nice public toilets. Awesome nature trail, excellent for birdwatching!
Maria Elena Di Bello — Google review
We had a good time at the trail. We needed to pick up the key and leave a deposit but all fairly easy. The first part was a bit burned/dead (?) but the remainder was very green. Good time.
Tab U — Google review
Great short walk, less than an hour return. Single path to the end then returns. There are toilets at the entrance and a small place with info of the trail not far from it. The view from the end platform lookout is really nice. Very peaceful, birds everywhere. Not suitable for little kids as the boardwalk is narrow and doesn't have any fence or handrails.
Michelle Liew — Google review
Very quiet (we were the only ones there for an hour), unfortunately a large section was closed off, and a section of the mangrove had died off. However, it was a tranquil and flat walk that was interesting and beautiful.
Collect the access card key from Tackle and Tucker at the carpark opposite the access ramp, leave $20 deposit or ID for the key card.
The Adelaide Central Market is a vibrant, bustling market offering a wide range of local products. It's one of the oldest indoor markets in the world and features fresh fruit, vegetables, baked goods, cheeses, and more. After browsing the stalls, check out some of the cafes in the area or head to one of Chinatown's many restaurants for a delicious meal.
Amazing place for fresh produce. Love how the coffee in the market and the variety of beans sold here. There are some seats for dinning and some wait may be required on Saturdays when it gets crowded. Do take note that the market is closed on Sunday and Monday.
Easy to get lost in the market if you don't know how to navigate. Try to look at the ceiling at both ends which tells you which avenue you are about to shop at.
Tarcisus Ho — Google review
Amazing place. It's clean, spacious, people are all warm and kind. There's different kind of stores that sells just about everything and you can find good snacks or gifts as souvenirs here too. There is a whole section of little restaurants and also another section of tables and chairs in the open for anyone to sit or dine. Highly recommended.

Cute little markets in the middle of Adelaide city. It is right beside the Chinatown area and has a wide variety of foods and other interesting or exciting items. They have food from different countries and is a bit more upmarket compared to regular market food. It is also divided into different “avenues” to keep it organised. The shops range from grocery and meat stores, to bakeries and desserts, to spice and soap or homeware stores. It was quite enjoyable walking through here, and the best part is that it opens at 7am (3 days a week, 9am for the other days) and closes quite late on Fridays, and generally at 5:30pm for most other days.
Probably one of the more enjoyable places to explore in Adelaide as there is generally something for everyone.

Great range of fresh fruit and vegetables at great prices. Lots of variety in fish and cold meats as well. Can get busy Friday night and weekends as well. The car park does fill up quickly so it’s best to get in early. Great smells and heritage are at the markets too. If you get a chance to visit, I highly recommend going there for a visit.
Daniel Oors — Google review
A great place to visit while you’re in Adelaide. It has everything you need from veggies, fruits, to bakery items, cheese, coffee beans, wine, and many more. Well, you won’t find clothes here. But the market covers all your hunger needs. It’s two storey. The place has ample enough parking with a paid parking near by.
Just because it’s a street market don’t expect cheap products. The items are of great quality too. It’s a good place to go if you wish to spend your Friday night having a bit of a walk.

It is different Victoria Market in Melbourne. It has much more variance in food like South America, Europe, Asia. Some of them are very nice. But I haven’t had a chance to try big table. I will give it a try next time.

A very beautiful market in the heart of Adelaide. The market is spacious, well-organized, and offers a wide selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood, and spices. There are also plenty of stands with coffee, pastries, and bread, as well as a few places where you can sit down for breakfast or lunch. In any case, it's worth a visit and a stroll. Additionally, there is a parking lot above the market, which is subject to a fee.

The Adelaide Central Markets were amazing 🙌
The freshest produce and largest selections of fruit, vegetables, meat, cheese, and all assortments of things.
It is a huge indoor market with endless isles to browse and feast from.
This city is the cleanest city I have seen!
We visited for the Fringe Festival, stopping along the way to visit friends in the country town of Sherlock, before hitting the Murray River and heart of the city centre.
The markets are outstanding, and a credit to Adelaide 😊

Adelaide Central Market is an absolute must-visit in the city! 🌆 The variety and abundance of desserts and fruits are nothing short of a food lover's dream.
Strolling through the market, I felt like a kid in a candy store—only better, because it's a dessert and fruit paradise! From decadent treats to the freshest fruits, the market caters to every sweet tooth and health-conscious shopper.
The vibrant atmosphere, the friendly vendors, and the sheer diversity of options make this market a standout destination. Whether you're a local or a visitor, Adelaide Central Market is the heart of culinary delights in Adelaide.
Definitely, don't miss out on the dessert offerings—they're a highlight that will satisfy any sweet craving. Five stars without a doubt!
Zella Keiko Bawr — Google review
I was hesitant on how I should score this place, it was either 3 or 4 stars and I did end up giving 4, the reason it was so hard to decide is because my mixed feelings about this place, as a local market it has a huge selection of different fruit and vegetables store almost like a farmer's market but it also combines a couple of nice eateries and wineries, to top that of it's always one of the busiest places in CBD which make parking and moving very disturbing on pick hours, I've been there a few times already as this is one of Adelaide iconic places and I can't deny that I've been there a few time and I'll probably be there many more times in the future, so all in all I would recommend going there for the experience just make sure to go when it's not super busy because then it's not as fun.

Let me jump straight into the highlights...
Get the custard tarts near the entrance. This is the best tasting tarts I ever had in my life. This is not an exaggeration. I hope it finds its way to Singapore and the world eventually.
Make sure you try the coffin bay oysters as well. It is not very fresh here as compared to the restaurant but... it certainly is much cheaper. Maybe you could ask and get them freshly shucked.
There is a wide selection of food, fruits and vegetable but the price are not very competitive.
It is a fun place to be at and certainly one of Adelaide's must go.

The Adelaide Central Market is a food lover's paradise! It's a vibrant hub of fresh produce, gourmet delights, and culinary diversity.

From farm-fresh fruits to artisanal cheeses and mouthwatering street food, there's something to tantalize every palate. The friendly vendors and lively atmosphere add to the overall charm of this iconic market. A must-visit for anyone looking to savor the flavors of Adelaide!

The experience of visiting here was very good. It sells foods from various countries and sells various fresh fruits and vegetables. Also, it was fun to see various cheeses and ham. If I lived nearby, I would have come often to shop. But I don't think it's bad for tourists to visit, either.

The Adelaide Oval is a 53,500-capacity sports and big-name gig venue in the Riverbank Precinct of Adelaide, Australia. It has hosted cricket matches and other sports events since its founding in 1871 and has also been used for stadium tours and functions. The redevelopment of the stadium in the past few years has boosted seating capacity to 53,000 when they're all yelling.
Adelaide Oval is one of the most iconic cricket ground in Australia. Located in North Adelaide just across the river Torrens, it is considered as one of the most picturesque grounds in the world. It was established in 1871 and recently completed its 150 year anniversary and the home to cricket, football, rugby, shows, concerts and events. Was quite impressed with stadium tour which was very knowledgeable and highly recommend if you want to know more about the ground.

This review is from a corporate invite to the Gage Rd Bunker for the Crows vs Port showdown.
A great evening of footy at the heart of the action. The Gage Rd Bunker is right behind the Crows cheer squad close to the goal. The view of the other end of the pitch was less than ideal but the home end couldn't have been better. The Bunker bar and food package, obviously featuring the Gage Rd product range, was good with a reasonable range and generous quantity of food. Being able to see into the Crows team room was an interesting insight especially as they won and we got to feel part of the celebration.

Did the tour, my advice, do the tour! Our guide, Chris, was so knowledgeable. So much history around the AO and he knew it all and boy can he walk fast. The old scoreboard is a historical standout in this age of technology. The Bradman museum, the change rooms, the story behind Victor Richardson...wow! So much to take in. Thanks AO and Chris.

We visited this nice stadium for the first time and of course, to witness a great battle between Adelaide Crows & Gold Coast Suns with a pleasant result Haha. We were truly amazed by the astonishing structure and design of the Oval as one of the most iconic footy stadiums in Australia. Did not even think that from the outside the Oval could be such a masterpiece. We would definitely be back there for another match.

Great stadium as seats on the lower level are pretty close to the ground. The only issue is that people who see the first 2 rows that you can't buy are fill up from people just wandering down. Security very laxed on that front. Around the stadium is great as plenty of benches to stand around to eat or drink. The rooftop walks look pretty good for the dare devil
John Cartwright — Google review
Fantastic stadium in Australia, this is home to the Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide Power AFL teams, and also home to the Adelaide Strikers cricket big bash team, and to international cricket test matches, T20 and one day matches in Australia.
I went to the Crows v North Melbourne match and the crowd atmosphere was electric. The place to be is on the hill, but you won’t be able to see the other part of the ground fully. You need to be somewhere in the middle and on the second level to get a great view but it will cost you money.
The stadium has several food and drink stations so you won’t go hungry or thirsty during any footy or cricket match.
The stadium is a short walk from Adelaide central train station and it is a really nice walk along the riverbank.
Phil Tad — Google review
Magnificent structure. All stadiums are obviously designed to cater for large crowds but AO is efficient. Even with 50,000 in attendance the concourse feels spacious. Also lots of sanitary facilities for the ladies so no excessive queues. I do however wish stadiums had a kid friendly area for little ones to stay safe and roam, but maybe that’s too much to ask as viewing space is money!

This was my second visit to the Oval. This time, it was a great experience. The winter package deal included valet parking, complimentary drink and chocolates (very small box), and a 3 course meal at Bespoke. Good value. Room 628 was great, a bit more spacious than the last room I was in. The view was amazing. Staff happily and promptly provided requested softer pillows and a shower chair. A discounted breakfast was offered and enjoyed.

Great place to unwind and go on a shopping spree in the middle of Adelaide. Well connected by public transport. And you'll always find e-scooters nearby to ride on. Warning: the actual alley of Rundle mall is a no go zone for e-scooters and your e-scooter will power down if you try to drive through the open mall, may have to push through back to the street - which is not he best thing when you were zooming past crowd just a minute earlier.

Pedestrian area with shopping malls or arcade. Take a rest at cafe for lunch or tea break to spend half day here.
South Australian Museum is a popular place for children and adults to explore in air-conditioned comfort. There are extensive displays of fossils, mammals, Ancient Egyptian artifacts, Aboriginal culture, and more. Some of the most popular exhibits include taxidermy from former Adelaide Zoo exhibits as well as an exhibit on giant squid.
Visited on the 27 April after visiting the migration museum. There are lots to see and learn on the natural history of Australia. Covering topics on the aboriginals, land and marine animals, geology and geography. It was fantastic that there were several sections on aboriginals which covered the Kaurna.
Love how a small part of the museum extends into the cafe. Spend at least 3 hours here for a quick walk through, but I reckon a few days would be good. Remember to visit the visitor information counter for a map and ask how to navigate the place.

I also enjoy visiting the shop and its excellent selection of books, educational toys and beautiful handmade items. The restaurant is also worth a visit, with an enjoyable vegan selection. The staff are pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable. I always enjoy visiting South Australian Museum in Adelaide.

The South Australian Museum was a fantastic experience. I definitely recommend visiting if you're in Adelaide. The museum is located in the city center and offers free entry (with some additional charges for certain exhibitions). It's a great place to learn about Aboriginal culture, as well as the geological history of Australia and its flora and fauna. The museum is beautifully curated and incredibly informative and engaging.

Loved the SA Museum, is beautiful place where you will find different cultures and a variety of fossils and information about South Australia and it history. The museum offers free entrance to all the rooms, it is composed for three floors, in which you can observe aboriginal history, paintings, pictures, boomerangs and different tools they apply to hunt animals and fishing.
Also, you will find minerals, rocks and a bit of geological history from South Australlia. The museum has a big mineral collection with beautiful samples and interesting different minerals. They have a huge amonite and dinosaurs fossils, dinosaurs skeletons and different animals.
In the ground floor you will find a. Coffee shop and the museum store to buy some souvenirs.

Definitely a must see museum. And it’s free for the usual exhibits. There’s usually. Special one that would need a tickets. The free one already would take at least 2 hours so this could be a half a day and it’s enjoyable for the whole family.
Couple of levels of different types of exhibits. A cafe and museum shop at the end for the one to wants a coffee and a souvenir.

Brilliant. It was 40° outside and I was melting. Popped into the museum for a spot of culture and some air conditioning. Really good, so glad we went it. There was a display in the foyer and I got to see a Frogmouth Owl. 😁
Lots of information about the Aboriginal people, which was incredibly interesting. You need to allow quite a bit of time to see it all. Definitely visiting again when I'm back in Adelaide.

Loved the SA museum, lots to see and discover, good for kids and adults. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Adelaide city. It was founded in 1856 and has a collection of over 4 million objects and specimens. Located in the cultural precinct next to Art Gallery of SA.

An amazing museum with so much to see and to learn, especially for those into history and science. One whole day is not enough for this museum. The discovery centre is amazing for kids which opens on weekends and Wednesdays and Fridays (10:30am-2:30pm). Well worth a visit to see a working bee hive. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Such an interesting museum with a good variety of displays over four levels. The taxidermy displays are especially well presented and clearly labelled. Children and school going students can see the displays up close for educational purposes.
Entry is free to the various displays, but there are special exhibitions held occasionally which are chargeable. Walking here from Rundle Mall is barely 5 minutes at normal pace.

Awesome. I visited Sydney museum in February and was completely disappointed, BUT the difference between the two is astounding, Adelaides museum is chock a block full of very interesting exhibits, from opelised fossils and an excellent range of contemporary animals to my favourite, the Egyptian period. It was a great experience and loved every minute.

It’s a good place to spend time with your family and friends. It had free access and paid access areas. We visited both. It’s vast and make sure you have plenty of time. We also tried a treasure hunt game on I pad. It was quite difficult, may be good for big team (4members). You will learn so much about animals, past, space and stones. ❤️❤️❤️

I recently visited a museum in Adelaide, and it was an amazing experience! The museum has four levels of fascinating exhibits, which made the exploration and discovery process very exciting. The best part is that it's completely free for everyone! The exhibits range from ancient Egyptian artifacts to beautiful natural displays and ancient civilization exhibits, making the experience both educational and entertaining. If you're in town, I highly recommend checking it out.

A great place to check out if you're from SA, or if you have a friend from out of town visiting! Free entry, and can spend as much time as you want or pop in and out of the areas you're most interested in quite quickly. The stairwell with the giant squid needs some TLC/updating, but overall a great free activity in Adelaide and a decent size given we're a smaller main city.

Free entry (I saw some "experience" on Booking who tried to sell tickets for this museum).
Great place to discover the aboriginal culture (even if Australian society has a weird way to respect it), earth history, australian fauna, flora and geology. The old gallery is still open, now presenting artifacts from the islands and oceanic territories.
If you like history (natural or human), this is a must-see in Adelaide.

We’ve been to this museum a few times and never fails to entertain. The fact that it is free for everyone is just too tempting. The collection from ancient Egypt, natural earth beauty, ancient civilisation is educational. A place for youngsters to see, touch and be mesmerised by earth’s wonders. The museum is perfectly laid out. The best part of the museum was the giant squid which few times of visit still gives me the hibby jibbies. It’s everyone’s a must list of places to visit in Adelaide. A place to learn how everything we do in this planet has a cause and effect.

This was a great place to visit! Very generous that it costs nothing to visit. Very informative and interesting exhibits.
The Art Gallery of South Australia is a major art institution in Adelaide, located on North Terrace. It has an extensive collection of paintings, sculptures, prints and other artworks from all over the world. The gallery is also home to regular exhibitions of contemporary and historical art. Start family day at the gallery is a great way to introduce children aged 3-12 to the joys (and challenges!) of art.
Loved coming to the art gallery, and my little explorer loved it as well, she was more interested then i expected. Art work was amazing, the current Dots display was something you really need to see.

A great place with great masterpieces. It’s free to access. They have guided tours happening at 3 different times during the day. It wasn’t crowded, but the place wasn’t deserted too. The art gallery has a cafeteria too. From art to ornaments to biological concepts to aboriginal art, this place displays a great collection even with origins from other countries. I would say it takes atleast about an hour to properly cover the place. It’s quite big. No parking since it’s in the heart of the city. You have to park somewhere else and get here.

I feel like I will never get bored of coming here. Sure it’s not as big as other cities, but the building in itself is art! Such a stunning place, and a wonderful collection and variety of art. I’ve been here many times and will continue to visit every now and then :)

Since 1900 Art Gallery of South Australia has housed some of the best paintings 🖼️ photographs and other curios. They have so many different exhibitions from time to time. I really enjoy their first Fridays. On first Fridays they offer curated programme of live music, talks and tours. It’s free. Can grab something to eat from the cafe and a coffee or a glass of wine 🍷 some events are ticketed events. Better buy the tickets 🎫 to those ticketed events prior to arriving at the venue.

A great public gallery, plenty of variety. There's weird, modern stuff for the trendy crowd. But also lots of quality, older work for those who appreciate aesthetics. The horse skins are a low point, Chiharu Shiota's 'Absence embodied' was a highlight. Overall, a couple of hours well spent.
Adam Hellyer — Google review
It is always refreshing and intriguing to come here every couple of months when the new theme is coming up. The arts I saw today is pretty marvellous and strong. The blood-knitting-web seems “awfully splendid “, the horses statues are strong too. And really enjoy this season’s theme. As an art newbie, can’t say I have lots to say but they do make me thinking and enjoying.

The most outstanding collection of Australian impressionist artwork and surprisingly incredible level of European and Japanese art also present. Totally defied my expectations. Staff up front were eager and helpful, and a polite guard explained the story behind one of my fathers favourite paintings.

You can go in for free and brought our tourist friends here and it was great and we all had a lovely experience. There was though a minor incident where one of my friend’s mom sat on a chair that was for display and it wasn’t meant to be sat on. Would be nice if there’s a bigger sign so that even the elderly can see it. If you have a backpack, you have to wear it in front. I always love the upside down tree installation that goes around. It is relaxing. It’s also nice there’s place to eat downstairs at the lower level. Worth a visit.

Service: Definitely worth going when you visit or live in Adelaide. I’ve been here twice. The second time was to see the Frida Kahlo exhibition. It was amazing.
Price: Most of the art exhibitions are free and only their special collections that you need to pay.
Transportation: You can use the free transport which is the tram stop at Art Gallery/Museum or use the 99C or 98C free bus city loop and stop at G1 north side.

I didn't expect much but this gallery was quite impressive. The featured art was stunning with a variety of styles including impressionist, dada, chinese, renaissance, religious and contemporary. Noteworthy pieces included the provoking horse corpse and a white room filled with red yarn. Loved it and recommended to all my friends!

It’s free entry and has an excellent range of art from very old paintings to new, thru a web of red wool to a very strange (and grotesque) double horse. There is an incredible exhibit of clear glass balls that go black as you walk away from them. They sometimes have visiting exhibits. I saw a Picasso display of pencil drawings about 4 years ago. There is a child’s area where you can do drawings of your own.

The staff in the main entrance were helpful with navigating the guide map before entering the gallery.
Variety of art from Australia and other countries—art pieces, paintings, videos.
Plenty of spaces to move around which is important as some people might take some time appreciating and reading some displays and descriptions.
There is a cafe inside with food and drinks available which is located in front of the gallery shop.
The Adelaide Zoo is a world-renowned zoo and one of the city's most popular attractions. With over 500 animals, it is home to a range of species including lions, giraffes, meerkat, chimpanzees and so much more! The zoo has three levels of experiences to suit different needs and budgets and you will never be short on things to do when visiting.
This zoo was really awesome . We have seen many of zoos and comparatively this zoo has plenty of space for the animals and the number of trees and plants around really makes it feel like you are in a jungle/Forest.
We really enjoyed this zoo and the pandas and the Girraffes having a tall door to enter shade was our favourite 💛

If you go on Sunday, parking is free on plain tree drive.

Every time we visit there is something different to see. The animals are well cared for and clearly do much goes on behind the scenes that the public likely aren’t aware of. I talked to a staff person whose job was to electronically document what the red pandas were doing every two minutes as they were newly introduced to each other.
An absolute South Australian icon and well known to be amongst one of the best zoos in the world. We’ve been to many and this is accurate. We have become life members due to the great place this is.

The zoo is a nice experience but not better than most others I have visited. Very good for children with a lot of Meet the Keeper educational shows through the day. We arrived at 945, most of the animals were hiding or asleep so I suggest to start in the afternoon. Took us 3 hours to see everything.

Phenomenal experience in Adelaide zoo that is bigger than it looks. Has every animals you can think of aside from aquatic animals (except for turtle 🐢 and penguins 🐧). There's roughly 2 cafes with food in here and plenty of bathroom while walking around. Aside from that, there's some shows or feeding session at specific hours that brings in crowds watching. Very spacious and pleasant visit so far.

A phenomenal adventure in every way. I recommend booking ahead if you want to go to any specific animal experiences, as there were only a few left when I went in the morning on a weekend, though I loved the tortoise and pygmy hippo experiences that I did go to, and so also could recommend just rocking up and seeing what "less popular" animals are still available for a more intimate experience (or even one-on-one experience as I had with the tortoises).
I spent an entire day here from almost opening time through to closing, and I still feel like I could have spent more time here because there are so many animals to see. Bring some good walking shoes, a bottle of water, and a fan if you're going in summer, though there is plenty of seating with some lovely views of the animals all around, and some air-conditioned areas such as where the insects are and pandas.
Lovely descriptive signage complete with an indication of how threatened each species is. If you'd like to see a particular animal, look up their most active hours ahead of time and plan your stroll past them then, or at feeding time (many more animals were active in the morning particularly on the hot summer day I went).
A beautiful zoo, definitely a must-visit if you are in Adelaide, especially as being the only zoo in Australia with giant pandas at time of writing.

We liked our visit to the zoo! It was a beautiful day and we got ample time to spend time observing the animal mannerisms. The lioness was such a poser and Sumatran Tiger was not happy with something , Kangaroos and Wallabies were busy eating while the Dingo’s were busy playing! The orangutan walked the ramp and went out of sight!
Some said the zoo is small but I felt it was really well maintained and easy to cover in a couple of hours with the right dose of animals!

Wow! What an amazing zoo! I was so impressed. The variety of animals was amazing. There were the likes of tigers and pandas which seem to be so rare to find at zoos. We also saw the animals so up close which was incredible.
The environment was beautiful and green and there were barely any people there on a weekday. Winner!
There are also helpful and knowledgeable volunteers all around the zoo which was a nice touch.

We had a fantastic visit to the zoo, where we enjoyed seeing a wide variety of animals and admiring the beautiful plants. A helpful tip for future visitors: try to visit the pandas before lunchtime, as they tend to sleep in the afternoon, making them harder to spot later in the day.

Been a long time since I went to the zoo. Nicely updated facilities. Lion and lioness feeding time was the highlight! And of course the Pandas (I like that you do not have a separate fee to see the Pandas now) Also, enjoyed the walkthrough avaries. The pigmy hippo was a favourite, watching the hippo play with a ball in and out of the water.

Relatively small compared to other zoo's but very nice for what it is and entertaining if you have little ones, Ive been here twice now with my family and would say its a good day out if you pair a visit here with the botanic gardens or something happening in that very scenic north terrace area. My only negative is Id say the ticket prices are a bit too high but I guess you could always buy a membership

I spent a few hours and saw everything more than once. Many more animals than I’ve shared on my review too. If you want to see giant pandas, get in quickly as it looks as though they will go back to China later in 2024 due to lack of funding. The zoo has a cafe and a couple of gift shops, isn’t too big and minimal enclosures are currently closed. Book animal encounters well ahead to avoid disappointment. Staff were friendly and informative. Wear comfy walking shoes, bring water, wear a hat & sunscreen!

Visited this place mainly for the pandas which was lovely! Lucky to see at least one of the 2 pandas active during the feeding session. We also went around to see the other attractions and other animals—some areas were crowded but this is expected as it is school holidays.
There are water fountains around the area which is good.
Shaded seating areas are available for quick rests in between.
Toilets were clean.

We had an absolutely fantastic day with heaps to see. The giraffes were amazing and the meerkats and otters were just adorable.
The coffee at the cafe in the middle of the zoo was just delicious.
I think it’s brilliant how they have a big bird cage backing on to the toilets in the middle of the zoo but definitely feel sorry for the birds with the things they have to smell!
Of course the toilets could have some better up keep but over all it wasn’t the worst.

Adelaide Botanic Gardens is a wonderful and vast 125 acre garden with rare plants, Statuary, greenhouses & cafes. There is plenty to do for children in the Garden with many exciting activities like meandering pathways, wildlife spotting and historic buildings to explore.

What a beautiful place to visit! The Botanic Gardens is free to enter and is conveniently located on the free tram route. We spent a good 2-3 hours there and only touched on the surface of what the gardens has to offer. Definitely a place that warrants multiple trips to really appreciate.
There’s a variety of areas to see including everything from a rose garden to a succulent garden to a conservatory with ferns and other tropical plants. The site is really well maintained and has ample areas to sit and just relax. There’s multiple paths throughout the place, so I’d recommend having a map to help you navigate (unfortunately, though there are signposts indicating different sites, they don’t have nearly enough maps posted throughout the gardens).
Overall, great place to visit! One of the best Botanical Gardens we’ve seen in Australia!

A sensational garden! Very well planned, lots of variety and we loved the little tracks through the trees! Well signed, lots of amusement and surprise and birds galore. We loved how many edible varieties there were too. Anyone visiting Adelaide with a few hours to kill will love this place. Also great for kids as there’s plenty of area to run about and also have a picnic. There was a special event on while we were there with big dinosaurs in the gardens and the kids seemed to be loving that!

Mount Lofty Summit Rd winds through the charming Adelaide Hills wine region, offering stunning views of restored 19th-century homes and lush vineyards.

One of Australia's most renowned landscape painters, Hans Heysen, lived and worked his magic at this historic home in Hahndorf. It contains many original works of art which have been lovingly preserved and are open to visitors between 10am and 4pm.

Hans Heysen was one of Australia's premier landscape artists and the tour of his home, his art studio, and his works was informative and uplifting.

It is a great way to spend a couple of hours. Book ahead to ensure your place on the tour.

WHAT A GORGEOUS EXPERIENCE! Honestly, this was an experience, not just a place to visit. We did NOT go into the home, but we paid the $5/person to walk the acres and acres of grounds. The "artist's walk" is definitely worth it, if you love nature, wide open spaces and sunshine! We then had coffees and scones with jam and cream at the Cafe. The CUTEST, most serene Cafe in the Hills, for sure! Emily the manager is just delightful. The atmosphere feels clean and inviting. Best scones I've had in Adelaide so far! We will definitely be back, even if just for the Cafe.

Worth the fully guided tour for the background info on all items. My only beef was that it was such a large group of equally interested visitors, that it was difficult to get into some of the smaller rooms all at the same time.
Great examples of both Hans & Nora's works, meandering grounds and a lovely little Cafe.

Visited here with some friends and took the artist's walk. This walk is a bit over 4 kms of undulating terrain. You get a good insight into where the painter lived and worked.
We'll be going back again to visit the home and the artist's studio.

Mother’s Day High Tea
Today my sister & I took our 93 year old Mother to a High Tea at The Cedars. We had the most beautiful of days. The event was held in the dining room of Hans Heysen house. It was set up so elegantly with lovely tea cups and every detail was covered, right down to the bubbles, the delicious sandwiches, petit fours, tea and coffee. As we are mothers, lovely Tory presented us with an array of beautiful posies from the garden. It was such a delightful experience…everyone serving us were just amazing. After the High Tea, we wandered through the gift shop and then we had a pot of tea & coffee at the Cottage Cafe…. Our day was so special…. Thank you to Tory and her team at The Cedars, it was such a wonderful day!

What a talented and gifted man.
His daughter was just as good.
The history here is excellent.
The views are beautiful.
It's definitely worth the short drive to Verdun.
I truly recommend to go here for the tour.

I knew nothing of Hans Heysen except I knew I loved his paintings. The knowledge imparted by the guide, Celeste, was comprehensive and filled in all the gaps in my knowledge. The garden, in mid winter was beautiful, and the tea room was perfect. Tea on a china cup and saucer that matched topped off a wonderful morning. I will return.

Have to admit this visit wasn’t my choice but I was so glad I went. I was pleasantly surprised by how lovely an experience it was!
Such a loyally preserved capture of time by the very knowledgeable volunteers who keep this artist’s home, studio & family memories alive. Well worth your time but I strongly suggest booking in advance for the tour.

One of those places you pass by your whole life without ever stopping at. So I finally did !
A beautiful property preserved to capture a fascinating family. Both Hans and his daughter have galleries on display. The tour covers the studio on the hill and also the family home. Guides are very friendly and knowledgeable.
I recommend buying tickets on their website which includes the option for a gorgeous afternoon tea with scones afterwards.
Take the time stop for a visit next time you visit Hahndorf.
Well worth the effort!

We booked an 11am tour on line and after a short wait we were taken on the over one hour tour through the Heysen property, including the Studio and their house. Our guide, Robyn, was pleasant and informative, explaining the life of Hans Heysen and his daughter Nora through their paintings. This place is well worth a visit if you come to Hahndorf.

Hans Haysen - The Cedars has a very historic background for South Australian art culture particularly.
I strongly recommend 60 minutes guided tour ($22 Adult entry ticket) if you are interested and have time. This guided tour gives you access to studio and house internal visits with special access to art collections.
You can still visit the garden around the house ($5 entry) or do a self guided tours ($17) with access to some additional facilities.
Local cafe at this domain is also nice to spent time with natural environment around for such a mindfulness experience.
The family-run farm shop, Beerenberg Farm, sells homemade jams and chutneys as well as strawberry picking in the autumn and winter. The farm is located in the Adelaide Hills and is a great place for kids to pick strawberries.
What a massive upgrade this place had. Love the modernised interior. Everything looks so posh now. They even expanded the ice cream section to include more flavours. Strawberry ice cream was so creamy and still the best. They even do shakes. But it was quite diluted. Strawberry farm for picking is just next door and they have very juicy and sweet strawberries.. Or you can just buy them right off the shelves.

If you like strawberry picking and jams, this is the best place to go. We have been coming here but this time is to get the jam for our families and friends who were just visiting Adelaide. They made a great revamped of the place as they added cafe for customers to enjoy the food and strawberries, made it bigger for the shop too. We loved the different jams like blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, blue honey, apricot and orange marmalade. Very delicious for a reasonable price. Worth it for giving gifts too!

Beerenberg is just beautiful. They have thought of everything in their renovations. The variety of products is extensive. The young lady who served our breakfast and then later provided us with tastings was friendly, knowledgeable and obliging. Breakfast was lovely although I wasn't a fan of the shortcrust pastry on the pie. My husband's rosti looked so good too. Can wait to come back with family.
Elaine Green — Google review
This is a beautifully designed, and well appointed destination.
I'm so glad that we have something this worthy of a visit, not far from the city of Adelaide! I was wowed, thoroughly impressed by the renovations, since I was here last, while the cafe was under construction.
We spent an idyllic half a day here.
We started off with breakfast, then had our coffees, and desserts. Their house made ice creams and waffles, were a hit with the kids, and the plating really impressed me.
The kids had a lovely time picking strawberries. If intending to pick strawberries, definitely try to visit before the weather gets too warm.
After having our fill with the strawberries we picked by hand, we had lunch in the cafe.
The pies we tried, are touted to be made from the sauces, available for sale in store. They were bursting with flavour, A must try.
The staff were very polite, and helpful. They really made me feel at home.
I am sure SA is proud, to have such a quality establishment, that will be a pleasure for both tourists and locals.
Especially those with kids, who are looking for a lovely, fuss free, activity to entertain the little ones, for the school holidays.
I'm looking forward to come back again for the food, if not for the sweet freshly picked strawberries! 🍓
Well done, to the staff at Beerenberg!

It's part of the history how Adelaide started. 129 days' of sea voyage with 199 seasick German, led by a captain who needed to ask around on how to get there. Pleased to see the Paech family's success. The choc-coated strawberry is my top choice,truly delicious

Plenty of parking and a very well organised and beautiful experience.
We loved the scone with the botanical jams (we bought back the strawberry and rose) and the beef pie with beerenberg sauce was delicious. The teas are loose leaf and worked a treat with the scone.
You can buy the 30g mini jam jars for 90cents each... what a steal. I packed them into my socks for carry on purposes.
Would highly recommend visiting.

This is a tricky one. This is a place that you want to give a good review to as it has a lot of hype and it’s a cool place to visit.
The shop was good and it’s good to see all of the products that you can get. We bought some jams that you don’t see in the shops. So that’s positive.
However, the food and the dining experience let it down. The menu options are limited, there were no real dietary options and the food just didn’t taste as good as it sounds on paper.
It is also so busy, so expect a wait for a table.
On a positive, the staff were friendly and good to deal with. We will probably give this place a second try to see if this was just a bad day.

So. Much. Fun! The kids had such a great time picking strawberries and contests as to who could find the biggest! A lot has changed since I was last here and I love the new spacious cafe and gift shop. The food was great! We stopped at a playground on our way home so some of our strawberries were a bit squished, but just made some jam!

We had an excellent time here. The staff was accommodating and allowed us access to the farm, despite our late arrival near closing time. The strawberries were heavenly in taste. Exploring the mini museum and learning about the farm's history added to our enjoyment. Plus, there was a diverse selection of products available for purchase, perfect for bringing a piece of our visit home.

We headed over to one of our favourite sauce and jam place from Hahndorf. Fantastic to visit the place that produces all our favourite jams and sauces we buy in Sydney. The cafe was cool and busy we had scones jam and cream and the edible strawberry and chocolate pot with some good coffee too. The purchased some goodies to take bake to Sydney and a bulk tomato sauce yummo. Totally recommend a visit if your in Hahndorf.

I live in Queensland and have never been here before, I went to a lovely restaurant for breakfast in Brisbane and got some small little jars to take home, I had some of the blueberry jam on toast and oh my goodness!

I will definitely be buying your jam online, I can’t wait to try the other sample jars I have, absolutely beautiful🩷

If you are ever in Adelaide, this is a must visit location. Perth needs a place like this.
Not only is this little town of Hahndorf the sweetest, but the Beerenberg farm is a stand-out location.
It was very hard not to buy everything as it all is so tasty. The Hahndorf hot mustard is yummy. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The chilli jam has got a good chilli 🌶 punch. And the jams are amazing.
The Devonshire tea with jam samples was amazing.
The staff are friendly and helpful.
For all interstate visitors, if you want to buy more of the delicious jams, sauces, meal sauces, jump on to their website to order.
Can't wait to order my Sri Lanka n fish curry sauce 😋

🍓🌿 Delightful Family Outing🌿🍓
If you're seeking a memorable outing that combines wholesome fun with delicious rewards, look no further than the Beerenberg strawberry farm. Nestled amidst picturesque Hahndorf German village, this farm offers an enchanting experience for families and friends alike. The $5 entry fee is a steal for the joy it brings. 🍓 Abundant, Juicy Strawberries!!! The star of the show, of course, are the strawberries themselves. Shiny, plump, and bursting with flavor, these strawberries are a testament to nature's bounty. At $11.99 per kilo, they're not just affordable but also an excellent value for their quality.
👩🌾 The best part? You get to be a part of the harvest! Pick your own strawberries straight from the bushes, with the freedom to indulge in a few along the way. It's an interactive experience that fosters a deeper connection with the food we eat.
After working up an appetite, head over to the on-site café for a delightful treat. Indulge in creamy, refreshing ice cream that perfectly complements the sweetness of the strawberries. It's the cherry on top of an already perfect outing.
👧👦 can have Kid-Friendly Fun here! our visit to the strawberry farm was an experience to cherish. It's more than just picking strawberries; it's about creating lasting memories with loved ones, savoring the simple joys of life, and appreciating the wonders of nature. We'll definitely be back for more berry bliss!

Beerenberg Farm is one of the oldest family owned jam , condiment and sauce in Australia.
Inside there’s a huge shop and cafe , they also offer a strawberry picking.
Please note that Strawberry picking is only available between November to April , start from 9 am to 4.15 pm.
This farm just one stop away by bus from Hahndorf Village ( German Village). We took a bus from city and it took around 1 hour to reach here.
Worth a visit when you’re around.

At first we didnt know this place, we stopped by just because we saw so many people picking something. So we stopped by and it was strawberry.
4 of us decided to go in and pick our own strawberry and it was the most sweet strawberry i ever eat. OMG it was really sweet like sweeeeett.
We end up bought 3kg strawberry for $12 per kg. 1 kg finished the same day, the other 1kg was not that sweet after over night. Dunno why. But we will come back again here, they have really nice and helpful staff.

Had an amazing time with my daughter and father strawberry picking last week. $5 entry fee for adults and children under 5 are free than $11.95kg. We went just before Valentine's Day and they had some many amazing red delicious strawberries 🍓
Definitely family friendly activity to do while they are open!!!
The Hahndorf Farm Barn is a great place to learn about farm animals in a fun and interactive way. You can ride horses, goats, and pigs, feed the animals, and learn about their life on the farm. The barn also has a wildlife park where you can see many different types of animals.
Great place for a few hours of fun. Kids loved this place! There’s a small shop at the front for ice cream too! There’s plenty animals kids would love. There are animal shows, please check before you go to time it right. Pony ride was the top attraction for my kids :). Tractor ride was quite fun for the parents too!

When my older children were small we went here quite a lot of times. We realised last week that my youngest had never been, so we planned a day out.
My older two, now 12 and 14 came as well.
My daughter fell in love with your chestnut mare and fed her all her food and day and talked to her❤
She was disappointed she was too old for a pony ride, i pointed out she was also far too big for the poor pony🤣
We all went on the tractor ride. My boys were slightly terrified of the cows🤣 but the rest of us thought they were adorable and so friendly.
It was a lovely surprise when the young lad driving the tractor stopped so we could see the cows. He also embarked on a lot of information about the cows as well as answering all the questions we had. He was delightful, friendly and knowledgeable.
We also thoroughly enjoyed the milking presentation and my daughter was brave enough to have a go. The boys stayed firmly in their seats😁.
Personally i loved seeing all your gorgeous roosters and wish i was able to keep all my boys instead of having to regime them all💔
All of your animals were a delight and friendly. Each of my children found an animal to love and my dad and i had a fabulous day.
A number of years ago you had a bit of a comedy routine for the milking presentation - I'm very very pleased you have moved on from that. The girls who presented it in a serious manner did an amazing job and were also lovely and knowledgeable.
I think we will be back again.
Thank you.

Wonderful place to visit, especially for children.

My granddaughters were upset because they wanted a pony ride which is only on weekends, public and school holidays. At the time we went many children were still on school holidays.
Interaction with the animals is great.

It is a great barn to visit especially for kids. We visited the place on a weekend that will be Saturday.
The area was really spacious however there will be fewer animals to see.
I had a mixed experience as i liked the experience of seeing the animals up close to be with them and also to feed them.
However, the charge per person was a bit high i felt as for me but it can be only for the betterment of the barn i suppose.
Also there aren’t much animals or birds to see here but an easing experience was to be shared.

If you want to see and feed some animals (goats, chickens etc), pet baby animals (lambs, calves etc) and maybe experience milking a cow, then I'm sure you'll love it. The overall atmosphere is that of a romanticised version of a farm and child friendly. They even have lizard enclosures, kangaroos and deer (sadly the latter two were hanging out in the shade when I was there, so I didn't want to disturb them). Overall the animals were friendlier than I was expecting

If you’re in South Australia, be sure to head out to the German influenced town of Hahndorf. Whilst in Hahndorf, we recommend visiting the Farm Barn with the family. It is a children’s farmyard and wildlife park but also a great place to play in the park and have a picnic.
Whilst in the park, you can hold, touch and feed most of the animals. In the first space are baby animals such as chicks, and lambs and you can go in their pens and hold them.
In the outdoor spaces, there’s animals to feed and oat such as cows, goats, deer, alpacas, ponies and more.
You can look in reptile cases and also see plenty of birds.
They also run a pretty corny led milking show and guests can have a go of milking the cow.
In addition, there’s plenty more for the kids to do such as ride a tractor, mini electric diggers in the sand pit (all at extra cost) and play in the park.
There’s lots to do and see, so you’ll probably find yourselves there are while so take food and settle in the bbq and picnic areas. It even caters to groups and birthday parties.
Staff were friendly and helpful. We did find it a bit pricy, especially when you pay extra for all the activities too. But it’s perfect for a fun day out for the kiddies.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at the Farm Barn house. We were a family group of 10 people, spanning 3 generations - 4 adults and 6 children. The property is well-appointed and catered to all our needs.The children had a fabulous time. They accompanied the staff each morning, to feed the lambs & calves, experienced milking a cow and held the chickens, ducklings and rabbits.
The extensive private garden provided the perfect place for the kids to run around. Thank you to Michael Farmer and the staff for looking after us.

A good place to have hand on experience with farm animals. You can buy animal food from the reception shop, go to different barns, pat the animals and fed them, and take some pictures. You can also go on tractor ride with the group and pat some cows. Lots of animals, including some snakes too. It just at the bus stops, which make more convenient for non drivers ❤️❤️ . They have a big space which you can hire for a small gathering and bring your own food or you can buy from the main Hahndorf street eateries.

Today was my daughter and my 23mth old grandson's first visit. It was my 7yr old granddaughter's 2nd visit. The experience was 'packed' with wonderful animal interactions. The staff are 10/10. Friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and humorous. The animals are healthy and child friendly.
I have enjoyed the Farm Varn experience over the last 10 years and am delighted to see it go from strength to strength.
Wishing all involved in the work required to maintain and provide such an excellent Family friendly Venue, every success in the future.
It provides a positive experience for children of all ages as well as the accompanying adults.
It enables it's visitors to engage with a Farm environment to whatever level each individual is comfortable with.

An excellent place to take children. It has many creatures great and small and they are mostly friendly and gentle with little kids.
The smaller ones inside the barn are great for little children and their older siblings. You can hold some of them not not feed them. That's only for the ones outside.
You'll need more than one bag of food to feed those animals, most of whom know the drill.
Unfortunately there were no horse rides this visit because we went during the week. But we still had fun. There are electric toy excavators and a small playground too.
Well worth the visit.
Prancing Pony Brewery has quickly become a prominent fixture in the local beer scene despite being only 10 years old. The brewery and restaurant, located just off the beaten path, offer visitors a chance to witness the magic behind their acclaimed fire-brewed ales. Recently relocated to a larger shed at 42 Mount Barker Rd, Totness, Prancing Pony continues to draw attention with its exceptional brews.
Popped in for a beer and some snacks. Cool industrial warehouse style brewery, with a few quirky design choices. Really tasty beer and yummy snacks. Introduced Dad to frickles for the first time!! Chicken was delicious too.

Our first visit to Prancing Pony Brewery promised an atmosphere of relaxation and culinary delights. Eager to sample their offerings, we ordered a variety of dishes, including meatball pasta, chicken tacos, and wings to share.
Unfortunately, the meatball pasta left much to be desired. Its taste was off, reminiscent of being reheated in a microwave, with dry meatballs and overcooked, mushy pasta. The chicken tacos fared slightly better but failed to leave a lasting impression.
The shared chicken wings were deemed average, lacking the wow factor we had hoped for. However, amidst the culinary letdowns, the saving grace of the evening was the Dizzy Donkey cider, a refreshing delight that stood out amidst the mediocrity.
As we washed down our meal with a less-than-pleasant cocktail, we couldn't help but regret our menu choices. The aroma of the pizzas being served to nearby tables only intensified our disappointment, as they appeared to be a more promising option.
In conclusion, while Prancing Pony Brewery offers a relaxed atmosphere and some standout beverages like the Dizzy Donkey cider, the food fell short of expectations. With regrets over our menu selections, we can't help but wonder if opting for the pizzas would have provided a more satisfying dining experience.

Prancing Pony is a beautiful brewery with a soul. They have a range from light and easy drinking to hippy and intense, and variations to satisfy almost every beer lovers palette. The service was friendly and while I didn't order any of the wood fired pizzas they looked very yummy!
Also some cows live right next door.

Went for a look see. Heard plenty about the place but never been before. Plenty of beer on tap. I'm a non drinker but my daughter tried out a few glasses. She enjoyed what was on offer. I tried it all as a sip but did nothing for me. It's nothing flash but I'm sure it would be a hoot and a holler on the night. They have quiz night on Wednesday and other things on given nights. It would be worth exploring. We did not eat there, early afternoon , but saw a few with take away and watched the end of the football between magpies and lions. Close game.

We are tourists from Singapore, and our AirBnb host recommended Prancing Pony as being kid friendly and with good food.
We loved our afternoon 'tea' here. We had pumpkin soup, fries, and fried chicken fingers, all of which were excellent. The pumpkin soup in particular was outstanding - the pumpkin taste shone through, accentuated with a hint of herbs (parsley?), perfect for a cold and rainy winter's day
I loved the Piper West Coast ale as well - wonderfully hoppy with a delightful long bitter finish.
My kids couldn't stop devouring the fries and chicken fingers, both of which were tender inside and remarkably crispy outside.
Finally, service was prompt, professional, efficient, and always cheerful. Even the staff clearing our wiped-out plates did it with a smile. We regret we never got to know their names (feedback - give them some name tags?)
5 stars for sure, and we will recommend it to friends who pass through the area.

Came in today to celebrate 10 years of Prancing Pony. Was a great atmosphere, local radio outside ( games for the children ) Brilliant singer inside ( did not get his name ) Food was very tasty & plentiful. I had the wings for 1 & side of chips, had to bring some home was more than enough. Great beer as always also brought 4 tins home. Hope to be back in the New Year. Usually manage 1/2 a year but definitely more often, got to try the Pizza too

If you're out for some awesome beers and bites, this is definitely the place to be. Superb ambiance with friendly staff for sure. Many varieties of beer are brewed fresh on site. The best one would be the Indian red ale which has an outstanding flavor profile. Other types of beers like Zeppelin, Hopwork Orange and the Piper stand out closely as really good beers are best enjoyed ice cold. Suitable during the sweltering Australian summer. Chicken wings.. hmmm it really is out of this World. Do choose the honey soy or the spicy Buffalo wings. Finger licking good and the best compliment to the beer. There are many more food items on the menu worth trying as well. Pricing is quite reasonable for an awesome experience. Will definitely visit this place again in the near future.

Gorge Wildlife Park is an Australian wildlife park located in the beautiful Blue Mountains. The park hosts a variety of animals such as koalas, wombats, dingoes, kangaroos and wallabies. There are also many rare albino species to be seen.
Such a beautiful wild life park. The animals are clearly loved and cared for and the staff are happy to talk about the animals and share their knowledge.
There is a petting zoo as well, where you can pat goats, baby ostriches, chickens, bunnies and anything else that may be in there at the time.
There is koala holding for a really cheap price and it's so rewarding! There's also free koala patting.

One of my favourite wildlife parks in SA. Been a few times before but we recently went back with our 7 month old bub and they've added new animals which was great. It's not a waste of time to come here since they have lots of wildlife to show, but especially love the camels.

Great Wildlife park off the main touristy track. Easy access from the main road with parking available on the street leading up to the park. The staff were very friendly. Arrive early if you want to get pictures holding a Koala as the spots fill up quickly. Fairly steep incline in some areas which involve a bit of climbing/descending. A great selection of animals given the smaller size of the park. Very well maintained and excellent value for money given the price of other similar sized wildlife parks. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Perfect setting. Excellent areas for animals, birds etc. Staff very helpful and informative. Kids would love it because you can go up & touch many animals, kangaroos, bird life, wallaby's & so much more. It's a must to visit 👍😉

Lovely wildlife park with an interesting array of native and exotic animals. Is definitely a fun day out and I recommend giving it at least half a day to get around and see it all. The only downside is I wish they had a lot more signs/ info for the animals, especially the birds.

Had visited twice since I came to Adelaide and what a wonderful experience ! Got to hold cutest Koala and I forgot all my worries ! Great place to have some vacay time with your kids or family ! Definitely a place for animal lovers !
You can call and book tickets for animal petting and holding sessions before you arrive as you might find them all sold early. Sharing some photos too ! I just love this place !!!

Love this place. The compound is not huge compared to many wildlife parks. Happy that the place is not crazy crowded with tourists. The park is nice and cosy with open spaces for many free roaming animals like the kangaroos, wallabies, peacock and a variety of birds. Highly recommended.

Great wildlife park in the nice rural area. There is a good variety of native animals and birds to watch here. The fun part would be feeding kangaroos, wallabies & camels which could be touched as well. Great coffee and pastries could be taken from the cafe inside the park. Highly recommended if you've got half a day to explore amazing creatures.

Absolutely amazing place. Who needs elegal medication when you have animals.
Creatures seemed well cared for. As were not fearful, but interactive with me. Wonderful coloured birds & mammals plus more. A total delight.

Awesome place with a fairly wide range of cute and interesting critters, some lovely spots for a picnic and tasty light snacks from the shop if you don't feel like packing your own food.
If you're interested in holding a koala I would recommend visiting earlier in the day as it is very popular and tickets for holding the koala get sold out pretty quickly.
Looking forward to the next visit.

Lovley place, all the workers are friendly and willing to help at a moments notice. All enclosures are well set up for the animals. Wide range of animals and lots of opportunities to feed various different animals. Love coming here and will always take the opportunity to come back.

Beautiful place with lots of animals to touch and feed. We were lucky to get an opportunity to cuddle a koala. Best experience ever. We fed camels, kangaroos, wallabies and ducks. The otters were so adorable.

If you love holding Koalas, touching Python,running after Kangaroos n feeding animals. This is the place.
You can either get your own food or buy burgers and fries. Picnic tables are available. You can easily spend 3hrs.
Don't understand why we need to feel these animals as they don't try to do so😄

A great experience overall. The park is close to the city and is a nice drive through the hills. The park itself has a good range of animals in decent habitats. The wall through open areas with kangaroos and wallabies are great as is the chance to pat or hold a koala.
Signage and a 'best path' through the park are lacking a bit. The signage was the most inconvenient, always interested to know more about the animals!
Gavin Meredith — Google review
The wildlife park is such a good experience. Completely worth the 30 minute trip that it takes to get there from the city. There is a wide range of animals, both native and foreign species. The park also has lots of spots to sit and take in the wildlife at your own pace.
There is a cafe on the way in and the food is really well priced and very good. We had a hot chips and a hot dog which were both very good.
We also took our son in the pram and all the tracks were fine to use it on. He enjoyed seeing all the animals and I would say the park is for all ages.

The Gorge Conservation Park is an incredible destination! The diversity of animals offer a fantastic opportunity for us to connect with nature. Having drinking water and hand washing facilities conveniently placed throughout the park reflects a thoughtful approach to for comfort and hygiene.
An amazing cafe with reasonable prices is always a bonus and also to relax and enjoy some good food. The availability of picnic spaces and a great outdoor BBQ area adds to the allure of the park, offering us multiple options to enjoy our time outdoors.
Reasonable ticket prices make it accessible and overall, it is a wonderful place to spend time, whether it's for a day out with family, a peaceful picnic, or simply to immerse oneself in nature's beauty.

Had a fantastic time here!! The best wildlife in Adelaide for sure. The entry fee affordable and definitely recommend getting a bag or two of animal feed. You can get right up close to the kangaroo and feed/pat them, along with throwing feed into the camels mouths.

Absolutely love this place.
The new upgrades look amazing, and the staff are super friendly, patient and welcoming!
(Thanks for your wonderful customer service Sam)
If you want a reasonably priced day out , then head to this place.
Cost $90 for 2 Adults and 4 kids aged over 3, we took our own lunch/snacks and drinks and spent a good 3.5hrs. Lots of picnic spots, and places to sit along the way for tired legs to take a break or shady spots for a mum to BF.
Toilets were clean, enclosures look beautifully kept.
Only down side is the koala holds sell out quick, so book ahead, but the bonus is you can still have a photo and pat for free.
Can't wait to come back, we saw a mum & son doing a meerkat experience, which is something we would love to do next time.

No place in Adelaide offers such an experience! It was my first time standing so up close to a Koala & even holding her in my hands. It was such a great feeling… While they have more to offer in terms of animals you can meet & feed. Had the opportunity to feed wallabies, kangaroos and even camel. Rest it’s a huge park with many reptiles, birds and other predator species to see. Also the baby penguins & the otter have my heart.

One of the best place I’ve ever been. Animals are very well taken care of and are very well relaxed!
We didn’t book the hug the koala in advance so we missed out. However there is a photo opportunity with the koala for the public so it’s not too bad.

Gorge Wildlife Park offers a captivating experience immersed in nature and wildlife. The variety of animals, from kangaroos and koalas to exotic birds, creates an engaging and educational environment. The park's well-maintained enclosures and knowledgeable staff contribute to a memorable visit. The opportunity to interact with some animals, particularly hand-feeding kangaroos, adds a personal touch. It's an ideal destination for families, nature enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a close encounter with Australia's diverse wildlife.

Best Zoo in Adelaide!!
Holding Koala 🐨 for just $10. (11:30am & 2:30pm)
The main part I adore this zoo is that traffic flow is effectively well management. It’s kind of wild but also safe at the same time with different animals. (I thought I were in Jurassic Park for one second!)
Reasonable price with heaps of fun 🤩
The Big Rocking Horse is a popular tourist attraction in Gumeracha, located just outside of the city. The Horse was built in 1981 and is 18 metres tall, making it one of the tallest wooden structures in the world. The Horse is also famous for its large rocking horse, which is said to be able to move at a speed of up to 12 kilometers per hour.
What a wonderful few hours spent at the Big Rocking Horse. Nominal fees to climb up the World's Biggest Rocking Horse and to enter the petting zoo. Beautiful fauna and flora small little walk with the kiddos.
We also had lunch at the cafe and enjoyed it. Kids finished mostly everything.
The Toy Factory has really nice wooden stuff and naturally made items. Superb to pick birthday party favour or just something quirky for your home.

Took the family out to their first time at the Big Rocking Horse at Gumeracha.
For $2 per person gains access to climb to the top of the Rocking Horse.
After that we went to the Cafe for lunch. Ordered a hamburger for Barbie and me, and the boys shared chicken nuggets and chips.
Next stop was the wildlife park for $3 per person.
Overall it’s good value and price for a family adventure.

Quite a nice little place to take your family out & about. $2 dollars to enter into the gaint rocking horse, there are many ladders to advance up, and elevate down. So make sure to wear the right shoes, clean cafe, and even a tourist house to buy souvenirs.
Tung Tran — Google review
It had been some time since we last visited, so thought we would try it out on a public holiday.
Turned out it is still a good family trip and well worth a visit.
Free entry to the complex, free ample parking, accessibility park & buses parking available.
Cost is $2 person if you wish to climb the Big Rocking Horse, 3yrs and under are free. Payment in cash or card inside Cafe.
Entry to the wildlife park is $4 per person and animal feeding bag $2 each. Payment and entrance to wildlife park through the Toy Factory shopfront.
The cafe offers limited hot food and drink, ice creams and snack at a reasonable price. An upgrade is the make your own fairy floss machine, which uses card only.
Plenty Shaded picnic seating around the lawn area for resting and lunch in the open space if not wanting to sit inside the undercover cafe dining area.
Staff in all areas were helpful and friendly.
Highly recommend a family day out exploring the oldest wooden toys manufactured here.
Toilets are roomy and kept reasonably clean. Family and Accessible ramps into the toy factory and accessible toilets available onsite.

Rocking Horse is a truly wonderful picnic place to visit with kids. The presence of a love park adds an extra touch of charm to the surroundings. The calm ambiance creates a perfect atmosphere for relaxation. Additionally, having access to a toy factory adds excitement and entertainment for the children. The staff is incredibly friendly, ensuring a pleasant experience overall.

Plenty of parking, a playground, cafe, toyshop, petting zoo and picnic area. Could use some barbeques and a few extra tables and chairs in their grass area but all in all a good place for a wholesome family outing. Don't let the goats take your bag of feed.

After 5 years and a covid, the number of animals here seemly are not too many as before. But all animals in animal park are too cute and the smell is ok, not bad as i thought. It is only $4 for entrance fee and $2 for animal food. This is a good place to visit, relax and watch cute animals.

Nice spot for a day trip.
Kids love climbing the horse. $2 per entry and you get a certificate that you have climbed the biggest rocking horse in the world.
The cafe there is decent with some regular items. We have some chips and gravy which was good. Recommended to take your food and picnic there.
Plenty of parking available and kids friendly.

A great little gem to visit. Nice scenic drive. Cute wooden toys for sale. Nice sized animal enclosure to feed some goats, llamas, ducks, peacocks, an emu (who didn't want to take any food lol) and some wallabies to name a few. Give yourself about 1.5 - 2hrs here.
Also has a Cafe if you don't bring your own picnic. Heaps of parking, even for buses.
To climb the wooden horse, be ready to climb ladders. We mistakenly thought it was stairs all the way. It's not.

We had a great time, the goats are very cheeky and cute, the kangaroos were great. We had a fun time looking at all the cool items in the shop and got some lunch in the cafe. Of course we climbed to the top. The kids had a great day out, and the new owners have made some wonderful improvements, we can't wait to have a chance to go back again.

The toy factory museum was amazing, It takes you to your childhood memor, I hope they keep the place open. There is a small animal zoo, the entrance is very cheap. There is a toilet and some food available on the site, and the parking is big. We also had a peacock 🦚 in the parking by our car. The young boy in the reception was super friendly and is doing a great job.

We were here on Sunday (23/07/2023). This is a place where kids and adults both can have a good time. The Big Rocking Horse claims to be the world's biggest of the sort! You can pay $2.00 to climb to the top of the Big Rocking Horse and get a certificate!! There is a small wild life park with a $4.00 entrance fee! Animal food bags you can buy for $2.00 each. There are a small range of animals but still good enough for a quick visit and to take photos with the animals and feed them. Snowy the Goat can be cheeky! There are Peacocks, Ducks, Wallabies, Kangaroos, Australian Alpacas, Goats and Emu. Not to forget the talking parrot! When we went to the park it started to rain so we had to go to the warm and welcoming cafe! Great service! Chips and gravy were so yummy on a cold and rainy day and the coffees/ chai latte were so good. Perfect temperature! When the rain stopped they let us go back to the park using the same ticket! All the staff at the souvenir shop, park and the cafe were so helpful and friendly! Souvenir shop got lot of interesting hand crafted toys and board games and a variety of souvenirs. A must visit place on the way to Barossa!

Great location for a family day out , or even a causal couples date. Heaps to do from climbing the rocking horse. A lovely cafe to sit for a meal or beverage, or you can even go in to admire the wildlife animals , fun to feed them for only $2 a bag of food which is plenty for the furry friends to enjoy you. They even have a great toy shop you can grab yourself a little momentum or purchase a hand made wooden toy 🧸
Lovely destination to seriously suit all ages and groups.
Equip with plenty of seating area and even a play space for the kids that is fully fenced.
Laura Hutton — Google review
A great find for smaller children, but best to go early to avoid the crowds. Our kids enjoyed getting up close to the goats, roos, peacocks, alpacas and ducks.
The Cafe served good food at very affordable prices but be prepared to wait.
Staff were very friendly.

Corey Cook — Google review
An amazing place for the whole family to have fun, especially for the kids on weekends. The big rocking horse is quite scary for some adults because of its height but interesting for kids.
There is a toy factory and souvenir area with lots of pretty items. I have bought some magnetic and finger puppets as they're so cute.
The relatively airy cafe and bakery even sell ice cream and fairy floss. A simple zoo with gentle and friendly animals helps the kids get closer to nature. There is a small playground for children as well, with tables and chairs for everyone to rest in or a small picnic.
The parking lot is quite spacious and airy. The toilet is not so bright but clean enough.
Thanks!
Hong Nguyen — Google review
It was a bit outdated , yet we had a lot of fun here.
$2 entry each to climb right to the top of the rocking horse , not advised for kids under 4 as the climb is up and down ladders. My 5 year old managed but was scary to watch from under her. However you also receive a certificate to say you climbed it. ( Great value for money.)
Also $ 2 entry each into the petting zoo and $2 for a bag of food to feed the animals .
Kangaroos , Goats , Llamas, Sheep and Peacocks !
We did this on a $10 budget for myself and one child.
Great value for money and some amazing pictures.
There is an on-site Cafe also the Toy factory which you go into to get to the animals.

This is a wonderful experience for the whole family. The Giant Rocking Horse is very impressive.
The toy shop is absolutely amazing with the locally crafted woodwork pieces. A true skill.
It was lovely to walk among the deer, goats, alpaca, etc, and feed them.
This is a highly recommended place to stop and visit.

Long-running wine estate offering an airy tasting room, tours, a restaurant & a picnic area.
A brilliant experience from start to finish. We had the last tasting of the day which we thoroughly enjoyed. Following that the gentleman who was speaking with us about the winery was telling us about the 100 year old tasting and year of birth tasting which we hadn't booked. After a bit of pleading they took us to do both which was thoroughly appreciated and well worth every dollar. This is one of the few places in Australia where you can experice history that goes back further than the last century. Top marks to team Seppeltsfield and appreciate you bending the rules a bit to accommodate our request it made our day 😀

Our first stop of the day, Nice lovely grounds of Seppeltsfield . When we stepped into the vineyard, it seems like we are transported back in time, Spanish villas and buildings. Lovely to soak in the sun outdoor with a bottle of wine. Their forte is in fortified wines. Did a tasting flight and got to choose 6 wines from the list. Nothing exceptional caught my palate but really enjoyed the grounds.
Yoong Hwee See — Google review
Seppeltsfield is one of most scenic vineyard in Barossa Valley. It is so green, beautiful architecture, well maintained gardens and it so serene. The staff are really welcoming and have a great knowledge about their wine. Now this part of the review can be personal since what you like can be subjective. Most of us who had their wine, we thought they were average and slightly over priced. I am definitely huge fan or their fortified wines and have bought 3 bottles but I could not bring myself to buy their other ones.
Robert L — Google review
Great stop for a quick port tasting. Stopped off for an hour at this beautiful location. A quick peruse of the art gallery was followed by a helpful member of staff being able to arrange a shorter version of their normal wine tasting to focus on their fortified wines. David was extremely welcoming and knowledgable (especially as it was only his second day!) After trying four of their fortified wines, we moved onto their skincare barn and had a great time trying out their products in their huge sink. A quick coffee from their coffee shop and we had to hit the road.
Would highly recommend for a visit, even if you don’t give the wine tasting a go!
For info, the wine tasting was free if you bought some wine. Otherwise, it was advertised at $15 per person (which gave you at least 8 wines… we only tried their 4 fortified wines so don’t quote me!). They also offer a tasting of their 100 year old port for $100!
Alex Doherty — Google review
Our group of 6 did the Centenary Tour, which was a superb multi sensory immersive experience. We tasted the fortified (port) from our birth years, as well as the 1922 centenary port. We loved the history narrative provided by our fabulous host David. All set among the picturesque settings of the Seppeltsfield grounds. This was a really fabulous experience- thoroughly recommend! Lunch at Fino was also lovely.

If you’re going to do one vineyard in the Barossa it would have to be Seppeltsfield. Beautiful grounds showcasing the history of this vineyard since 1855! Lovely to take stroll around, check out the architecture of the beautiful heritage buildings, do a wine tasting, have lunch & browse a couple of art studios & gift stores. Loved the Tawny tasting & cellar tour - definitely worth it.

We went here July 10th, 2023. It was a Monday. We went to other places prior to this so by the time we came here, it was closed. But they were kind enough to allow us to take a look around and take photos. I love their gift shop where they sell beauty products made with natural ingredients. You can even try them on. They have samples. If not for the limit on my luggage, I would've bought so many products. They're all so good! I ended up buying their olive oil soap (you won't need to use lotion if you bathe using this), and 2 lip balms. I would put the lip balm on some of my lines and they seem to disappear. Amazing!
Overall, this place is amazing for tours and stuff. If you're visiting Adelaide, make sure to visit this place. 👍👍

Seppeltsfield is the very first winery that I had the pleasure of visiting in the Barossa Valley, and it represents everything the Barossa has to offer. From the moment you step out of your car in the parking lot until you step back into your car, you are greeted with beautiful sights, sounds, smells, tastes and interactions. The grounds are lovely. We were lucky enough to visit on a beautiful day, so was able to enjoy everything that the grounds had to offer. Inside the winery, they offer tastings at their unique pod stations. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable of the wines, and do their very best to match you with the wines they think you will like. I really loved everything about Seppeltsfield.

Awesome time, took a little while to get my confidence but once i got used to it, they were so much fun. They allow you 15 minutes before the full hour tour for training and to allow you to get used to the Segway. They then take you for a tour of the winery finishing up out in the vineyards where you can really open up the segways and admire some of awesome views at the top of the hill overlooking seppeltsfield, they also allow you about 15 minutes of free time where you can have some fun within reason!!!. The tour guide was really friendly and knowledgeable as well

My wife and I planned a trip to the Barossa for a few nights. When we arrived in the Barossa this was the very first thing we did hoping that it would kick start a great time and we were not disappointed! In fact the segway experience exceeded our expectations. Doing the experience at Seppeltsfield is such a great way to kick start any trip to the Barossa! Not only are the Segways thoroughly enjoyable but the tour operators Shane and Jonathan were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.
Coming from NSW we didn't know what to expect visiting the Barossa but the Segway tour really highlighted what the region was about which is more than just wineries but also great history. We learnt a lot about the incredible history at Seppeltsfield and the area and during the tour had some great photo opportunities within the vineyard itself and also a few great photos with some of the heritage listed buildings (all which you cannot see at Seppeltsfield unless you do the Segway tour).
Thank you Shane and Jonathan for allowing us to have a great time and being so friendly and considerate! As customers we really felt valued from your excellent custer service. You both helped us feel at ease to operate the Segways and we had an absolute blast! Overall you helped make our trip enjoyable and one to remember!

This is possibly my favorite place in the world. 10 minutes from Tanunda in the heart of the Barossa Valley, down a narrow dirt country road, is Jacobs Creek Retreat. Nothing to do with the famous Winery, this is a little piece of French Chateau in the heart of South Australia. Each native stone room is part of the original faming houses and have been superbly restored. The entire place would sleep no more than 20 people.
The grounds and rooms are an incredibly hard to achieve combination of Australian native wildness and manicured to within an inch of its life, French Chateau. The luxury os each room is undertated and yet still reflects the more than 150 year old frontier history of the location.
If you ever want to holiday in the Barossa, this is absolutely the place to stay.

The actual place is great.. really loved it. The pool area and gardens were beautiful. However, there was a mix up with apartments which meant I paid over $200 more than required. The establishment said they would pay me back. That was 4 Jan 22 and still waiting. Keep saying they are going to do it and never did. Very disappointing and unprofessional which is a shame.

A perfect spot for a nice romantic getaway. We stayed in the Cedar suite and honestly could've happily spent the whole time in the amazing spa bath. Gardens are wonderful to walk through and the complimentary touches really just make it feel special. Communication with staff was great, Jerry was happy to answer any questions we had. Having chromecast for the TV was a big bonus as well, we rarely left our room except to dine out. Literally the only complaint we could have is that we couldn't seem to get the shower to stay at a stable temperature, but when you've got that amazing spa why bother using the shower 😜 I hope we'll have the chance to stay here again

The grounds were stunning and magical. We stayed in the Orchid King Suite, arrived to find heating, lights and music channel on which was a great touch, made it comfortable and inviting. The room also smelt great. Suite itself (WOW) was regal, royal, elegant and classy. Loved the huge spa, the window next to our spa was great, we loved being able to open that up and have some cooler fresh air around us while we soaked in the hot tub, was nice to have the candles there too. Bed also comfortable and lovely. Room fixtures and character was gorgeous. Thank you Jerry for being friendly and helpful & the sparkling wine, cheese platter, fresh muffins etc, YUM. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Rockford Wines is a historic stone building that offers sales and tastings of locally made wines, as well as sauces and chutneys. The winery features traditionally made, small-range wines, including reds from smaller labels like Teusner, Langmeil, Kalleske, and others. Visitors can witness the wine-making process and even see grape vines being shoveled into an antique grape de-vining machine. The staff is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the wines they offer.
My father-in-law recommended this Vineyard to us! It did not disappoint! It was very interesting to see the process of creating the wine. We were lucky enough to arrive at a time where grape vines were being shoveled into an antique grape de-vining machine. (if that's what it's called)
The server (Brett) was very informative and shared many interesting facts about the vineyard and the wine making process.
We left with 7 bottles of wine! (Yes the wine was that good)
We can't wait to visit here again one day!

If you in Barossa you Must visit this Gem! Staff is very helpfull, friendlyand they know about their wines! They have about 11 wines to taste and best amazing thing is their wine tasting is complementary!! Good location for photos with all the autumn colors and old buildings! We ended up buying 3 different wines and we LOVE their 2019 Shraz VP!!

One of the best wine tasting experiences we have had ever. The only place we have seen in vintage that follows a more traditional approach to wine making right as you walk in. The tasting room has character and our host Nahum gave us so much information around the rich history of the area and was super knowledgeable on every wine they stock.

A MUST STOP winery in the Barossa.
Absolutely fantastic, unique and wonderful winery. Kris ran us through a free tasting of their 10 wines. She did a fantastic job and was very knowledgeable, friendly and kind.
The winery itself was beautiful, we were there in May so couldn’t see everything functioning. However, come from on Feb-April and you will see it all in full working order. It’s incredible. The old buildings and autum leaves were INCREIDBLE.
All their wine was delicious and we ended up buying a few bottles!

Tasting at Rockford today. 2022 vintage still coming in.Limited selection of wines however those we did taste were excellent. One of the only places that doesnt charge for a full flight tasting.
Their basket press reds are seriously good wines and the Black Shiraz sparkling outstanding.

An absolute amazing experience. Not at all like the commercial wineries. So personal and warm. Staff are incredible. The guy who took us for wine tasting was absolutely brilliant. We were greeted by the wonderful hostess, even though they were so busy, they made a plan for us. A must, if you are in the Barossa.

A great tasting experience with a passionate team in a beautiful location. We tried 11 wines and all were thoroughly explained and we were not rushed or overwhelmed. The setting is wonderful with the cellar door in the original buildings adjacent the winery and associated buildings. Good pricing of some exceptional wines also to take a souvenir home.

Love this little gem of a winery. It’s like you are transported back in time. Such a cool place with very cool staff working there. Everyone is so friendly and love to share the history of Rockford wines with you. The wine is spectacular and every glass just gets better and better. Stand out for me was the sparkling Shiraz, which I was able to purchase on the way out.

As a long term fan and purchaser of Rockford wines, we took the opportunity to take some good friends here from the UK to Rockford's Stone Wall Club area yesterday. We were hosted by John - what a host! His knowledge of not only the local wines, but of European wines entertained and informed us over our visit. His enthusiasm rubbed off on us all. He is a wonderful credit to Rockford Wine. Thank you

Hands down the best wine tasting experience in Barossa Valley. Walked in without a clue about what we should try. We were greet with very friendly and welcoming staff. Prompts to Atonia (sorry if I butchered your name), who was extremely helpful in guiding us to finding best wine that suited to each of our tastes. Aside from the interesting back stories of each bottles, the brewing processes were also explained in a simple yet fun way.
Even though the wine tasting was complementary, and the staffs were not pushy at all about making a purchase. We walked away with 12 bottles of wine and were very pleased that we decided to take a trip to this niche winery in Barossa. :)

It was an amazing experience! We had a fantastic moment in wine tasting over there! Their wine is amazing! So tasty….

As always, an absolute delight. Greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality, eagerly sharing their knowledge and passion for their wines.
Not only were the wines exceptional, but the atmosphere was also inviting and relaxed. It was evident that this winery takes pride in providing a truly authentic experience for its customers. Whether you're a wine aficionado or a casual enthusiast, this winery is a must-visit.
Visited this winery on Saturday. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. I really enjoyed the wine tasting and all the explanations and informations provided by our host. Beautiful setting, which reminded me of the south of France. Beautiful garden outside with nice group tables and a fire pit. We were only 2 so we sat inside which was really nice too, with comfy seats and love the decoration and the paintings on the walls, very stylish. The wine was really good and we ended up purchasing a few bottles to take home. They do platters as well (but I believe you have to book in advance for that) I will have to come back to try the regional platters with the wine. Also it can be a bit cold there especially when all the french windows doors are opened and all the wind stream is circulating in the main room so make sure you wear a good coat so you can fully enjoy winter time outside/inside.

Delicious wines and really amazing platter ($45 regional one). Keeley (our host) was fantastic, greeting us with warmth and even brought a water bowl and treats out for the doggos right away. She was very new to the job but already confident and very friendly in her approach. We enjoyed all the wines we tried and found it hard to pick what to buy. Highly recommend!

Last stop on our day around the Barossa and what a wonderful way to wrap up our day. This smallish winery has some of the nicest reds and at reasonable prices. It was like sitting in someone's professionally designed inside-outside from overlooking their vineyards. We were well attended by a young man who explained the various wines we tasted and their origins. We purchased 6 of a kind and received a discount and free shipping home. Murray Street winery is a real gem; definitely include this place on your tastings and visit list in the Barossa.

Visited here 5 years ago after extensively visiting vineyard cellar doors. At Murray Street they seat you and bring the wine to you. After 5 years they are still doing this and instead of chasing tastings around the wine country, this is a great experience. This is an exceptional "slow down and smell the roses" sort of place..oh and left with a few bottles

Again not really a winery person but this place was very enjoyable. We were in a function room so didn’t get to enjoy the whole place but the buildings and outside areas were very beautiful and well done with lots of sitting areas with shade around the place.
The service was good, everyone we dealt with was very nice and a made us feel comfortable.
The wines we tasted were some of the better ones I’ve had. The charcuterie board was good but had pretty “fancy” examples of each type of food so not for someone that’s not adventurous with food. Would like to see more cracker options but that’s being picky.
Parking was good. The address on maps seemed to be up the road from where it was but heck if you made it that far you should have the ability to find it.
Would definitely go again

Excellent service and knowledge advice by staff. Platter for lunch was fabulous. Wine tasting (reds) was inspiring and eye opening. The philosophy of Murray street wines has evoked a wider palette for us. Had intended to buy a bottle or two and only left after spending $600 😊
Can’t wait to come back next year.

Chateau Tanunda is a historic 19th-century winery in Barossa, with guided tours and tastings. The estate boasts beautiful gardens and a cricket oval, making it an ideal spot for a picnic. Its rich history dates back to the 1840s when Prussians first migrated to the Barossa. Visitors can enjoy scenic routes from Tanunda to Angaston via Bethany, offering stunning valley views.
A great way to learn about a part of Barossa history. Good selection of wines to taste. We had a lovely lady (ex air cabin crew) look after us and tell us about each wine. Chateau Tanunda is well worth a visit. Plenty of parking available.

Was ok, but I had high hope and perhaps was expecting a little more. My experience felt more like of a tourist stop then the personal, memorable and fun wine stops that I’ve previously had.
The grounds are magnificent and the cellar door/tasting area looks grand, but it’s letdown by the lacklustre staff. No greetings upon arrival. The wines however were amazing and enjoyable.

A nice winery in Barossa Valley. This winery was larger than I expected. They have a lot of barrels inside which makes you feel you are coming to a winery. The quality of wine is also good. They provide red sparkling wine which was rare to me. This winery is located southern part of the Valley, so I would recommend you to start with this winery when you come from Adelaide to explore Barossa Valley.

Beautiful surrounds outside and cosy ambience inside.
We did a wine tasting with Alex, he was knowledgeable and enthusiastic while explaining the wine selections.
We ended up purchasing their Tawny Port, some Shiraz and their sparkling Shiraz which only costs $15.00 to ship it home.
Well worth the visit!

Nice building and beautiful cellar door but our experience wasn’t the best. We pre booked the “Old vine expressions tasting experience” and the person who was serving us didn’t know much about their wines. We didn’t learn anything from it. The friendly cellar door team offered us some back vintages to taste after we asked a few questions, good wines but we expected a better experience with knowledge and understanding. The lady serving us gave us the tastings notes to read but I can do that at home. Hope you can train your team, especially if someone pay $50 per a wine tasting. Thanks for understand

A beautiful building, fantastic interior. We had been looking forward to this visit for some time, yet the tasting left us a bit underwhelmed. So pay more for a higher quality wine tasting, also the customer service was a bit drab which also took away from the experience & excitement of our purchases.

If you’re only going to go to one winery in Barrosa, this is the one! They don’t call it Icon of the Barrosa for nothing. I’ve been to wineries throughout Napa and the central coast in California and in other states. I’d rank Chateau Tanunda right alongside the best of those. The grounds are beautiful and the wines were all very enjoyable. Larry took care of us during our tasting and did an exceptional job. He was personable and full of relevant information. Don’t miss this one!

It felt like we are at ground zero of Barossa’s wine book. The tasting selection was stunning. My family and I had a grand time there. I’m a big fan of Shiraz and was glad to learn that CT vineyard has created world winning Shirazes. I cheekily took two bottles back home to Melbourne.
Vickie (our wine specialist) was outstanding! Someone give her a raise, she is passionate and knowledgeable and made us feel right at home!!
Absolute pleasure! Will be back!!!

Château Tanunda, 9 Basedow Rd, Tanunda SA 5352, Australia
It must've been really hard for a family of four to live in this 500-year-old tree, which was hollowed by a lightning strike. Shows the resilience of early European settlers.
John Fejsa — Google review
The Herbig Tree! An intriguing place to visit while in Barossa Valley in South Australia. Between 300 to 500 years old and in Springton not too far from Angastan. I have been advised by locals in Tanunda a family lived in this tree.
This is located near the road side, 10 meters away.

Interesting story about the Herbig family who lived here
Peter M — Google review
Interesting history of the Herbig family and still tracing/tracking their descendants online which I think is a nice little idea. Good to stop to check out if you’re passing Springton in between wineries.
All started when Friedrich Herbig called a hollowed tree on Peramangk’s land home and his family life began.

Great little stop... amazing story and you can read all about the family at the tree.

Fredrich Herbig married Caroline Rattey in 1858. There was no land available in the area when they married, let alone a residence, so they lived in the giant Red Gum. They were in a stone house by 1864 along with their growing family. It is worth the stop to to see the tree and surrounding features. An amazing example of fortitude and resilience!!
Vilia “The nymph of the woods.” — Google review
It is wonderful that this historic tree has been so well looked after and maintained after so many years. It makes a fun and interesting stop on a drive around the area and the information plaques are very well made and cared for. Easy to find as it is just on the side of the main road with a large area you can park in with more information and maps next to it as well as information inside the tree about the Herbig family who lived in the tree for 5 years (until after 2 of their 16 children were born).
Claire Page — Google review
The history behind it is amazing.
Still wondering how they lived in it.
There’s nothing much to see after that. So, from Adelaide, if you plan to continue on from the tree, it’s worth it, otherwise it’s just too long a trip.
There should be some more touristic things to do.
Not a single person in sight.
Lolitha Mendonca — Google review
Magnificent! The tree is an estimated 300 to 500 years old.

Trevene Leonard — Google review
A 500 years old tree, you must see it!
Firstly used as a shelter for aboriginal people, this tree became famous after Herbig family used it as a house.
This hollow tree trunk provided a 'home' for Friedrich and Caroline Herbig and two of their 16 children until 1860 at Springton.
Historic Herbig Tree is located on the main road in Springton, situated in the eastern Barossa Valley, about 60 kilometres north east of Adelaide.
Had a brilliant experience at Henschke. Aside from knowing how to make some of the worlds best wine they know how to look after guests extremely well also. Right from the moment we walked in the door Olivia made us feel very welcome and gave us an excellent tasting experience. Paying the extra for the 'Henschke Distinguished' tasting is worth every cent. This is a must do if exploring the SA wine region. Well done Olivia and team Henschke

Henschke was our first stop and was by far the best tasting experience over the weekend. The wines are outstanding. The space was lovely and our guide (I think her name was Jodie) was wonderful. The tasting was over an hour so make sure you have time to really enjoy the experience.
Accessibility: easy ramp access and both high top tables and lower tables. The accessible bathroom was one of the nicest I’ve come across and certainly was the nicest over the weekend. Parking lot is not gravel so thumbs up 👍 from me.

The hill of grace tour was unbelievable and is a must do! From the very beginning Ashleigh was caring, informative and delved into the Henschke family history.. it was beautiful to be able to visit our favourite winery and experience all the best that the winery has to offer.

What a way to celebrate our honeymoon! Thank you for a memorable experience.

Henschke was one of the most visually pleasing cellar doors we've been to! The tasting room looked amazing with a cellar behind glass doors. The pitched roof and exposed beams were really astetically pleasing. Just being in there made is feel very bougie!
The server was very informative and gave us detailed explanations about each wine we tasted. She was engaging and answered all the questions we asked her! She really knows her stuff!
If you are visiting Barossa valley, it is definately worth the extra 20 minute drive to visit Henschke!

You can't go wrong with Henschke!
Admittedly, I was a little concerned that, due to the reputation and price point of Henschke, that there could be a lot of pretentiousness. I am so thrilled to say that was not the case at all.
Classy - yes! But so friendly, so knowledgeable, so welcoming! Kerry gave us a history lesson on each wine, adding to the love that I already had for the wines.
The wines speak for themselves, but the experience of going to the tasting room should not be skipped... You won't be disappointed!

I was here with my wife and good friends from California who are avid wine drinkers.
We tasted some of the best wines during our wine tasting session.

We will definitely be back if we are in Adelaide.
Thanks for an informative and beautiful experience.

Nice wine and setting. But our tasting moved pretty slowly and could have been wrapped up 20-30mins quicker IMO. If you love a relaxed pace of tasting and are not in any rush, you'll be fine. But knowing we had partners with kids watching the clock, moving along would have been appreciated. Wasn't bowled over by the wines compared to some others tasted on the day (and since).

We were so impressed with Loxton Village a total credit to all volunteers, we loved there were so many things that we hands on, can never have enough for kids to get a real "feel" for a place. Having so many different buildings to go in and view we really enjoyed, commentary in most was helpful. Would love to have seen it on their special days.
I would highly recommend it at $30 a family I thought it was a very affordable outting.

By the river's edge, a short walk from Loxton's main street, the Historical Village is a great place to spend a couple of hours. The clean, well-lit and well-maintained displays are well signposted, and many have a QR code to scan for more info. Also, a speaker in many of the displays will give a spoken account about it. I highly recommend a visit, there is plenty to see and learn, and you will be glad you visited.

Nicely maintained & presented. Smaller than the Tailem Bend one but as said, the area is looked after abit better. About a 1&1/2 to 2hr visit for us with toddler in tow.
Absolutely lovely staff.

We visited the Village during our stay in Berri and found it fantastic. It took us down memory lane for a lot of the items we viewed. Well looked after and very clean. The talks on entry to many of the displays were very informative, all you have to do is pay a little attention. The lady at the front desk was very informative and talkative. Thank you for a lovely time.

Fantastic visit. Thank you to the lovely lady (wish I asked her name) who gave us so much time to answer questions. Just remember she has a daughter living in London who she recently visited. Loxton is such a lovely town on the River Murray, definitely my favourite.

This display of old buildings, machinery, ye olde bits and bobs and some surprises from the past is a real gem. Well laid out, easy parking and just $12 for adults. Gen Ys and up may struggle to appreciate all of it but still worth a visit.

Excellent historical village run by volunteers. I need another visit to take it all in! 😊

Amazing place so lovingly maintained by a small group of volunteers. 1000s of items on display with recorded explanation in many places. Well worth a visit!

Great place to head with kids under 12. Heaps of real adventure types of play equipment where kids can be scared but have awesome fun. Free bbqs, water fountain and toilets.

Glad I read post about this place, stopped by to stretch our legs. Even my 14-year old son liked it, big maze area, high swings, some challenges for older kids. Also some areas for young kids. Be careful with slider using bags, very fast down and landing on rough ground is quite hurt.

Great playground to visit. Well looked after, and free to enter. We packed picnic lunch and stayed 3 hours! Certainly wore the kid out!!
It's definitely not the same as what it was 30 years ago! Took 1 disgruntled person that complained after injurying themselves to have it shut down. I think we all hurt ourselves in one way or another, but it toughened us all up and we had an absolute ball doing it. Glad to see the playground is back, but disappointed it's just not the same. Grant Telfer, Engineer built the original one and maintained all at his own expense. Thank you for the wonderful memories Grant!!

Great park for kids ...the park is very big and all fenced except for the entry way
Lots of different play areas for all ages and about 3 seating areas for picnic. No hot plates though.
The best part is the maze ...it is really big and fun for bigger kids.
They also have a pond with lots of fish and ducks.
There is restrooms in the park too.

Awesome beautiful playground, something for all ages. Had fun reminiscing about the old metal playground that used to attract hundreds back in our childhood, the BEST old fashioned fun! Carrying the sacks up the really high steps then choosing which slides to burn your b#m on!
I hope our girls remember their time here like we did & take their own kids there someday 🥰

A great space with something for everyone to play on. From the smallest member all the way through to the adults. Lots of challenges and fun things to play on and create things with your imagination.

This is an incredible spot to take children under 18! They can engage in thrilling adventures on a wide variety of play equipment, and parents can do so with the utmost peace of mind that their kids are safe. Not only does this place offer adventure, but also a myriad of convenience features for families, such as free BBQs, a water fountain, and clean and accessible public bathrooms. It's the perfect getaway for families to come together and make wonderful memories – there's something for everyone here.

Absolutely loved the park!! The different play equipment, the climbing towers and the little creek running rheiugh the centre were awesome. The maze was a big hit with the surprise playground in the centre. Toilets were clean and park was nest and tidy!!!

It was lovely to return to the playground after 30 years. It has changed significantly due to safety regulations but they’ve done well to maintain some uniqueness to the place. The addition of grass and trees has well and truly taken the edge off the scorching sun that used to beat down on the park, making it difficult to use the rides many years ago. It’s a very relaxing environment. I visited with my brother and his wife to reminisce about the old days here and we found a nice spot in the shade on the grass and had a nap. I’ll bring my kids here the next time we visit the area.

Amazing park in the Riverlands. Great space for kids of all ages to play. There is an abundance of play areas.
Basket ball court, slides for all ages, flying foxes are located at the back area of the park. Information boards of the Riverland area, which I actually found it being very educational.
What I liked the most was the maze. My toddler enjoyed that the most. We had to come back the next day because it was highly requested.
This park has so much to offer. If you do find yourself in the Riverlands, do give it a go.

They have really worked on keeping the playground you to scratch as well as trying to still stay modern and obtain the historical enjoyment the place has always been. I refer to being a child going here with my parents now. I'm taking my friends' children here. The barbecues are kept up, and the maze seems to always stay bright. And the close and open feature, I think, really helps keep this park at its best and is the reason we still get to enjoy it today.

Kids getting flung off spinning things, men climbing things they shouldn't to impress girls they want. It's a wonder insurance for places like this still exist. Fantastic. Don't drink the water from the ponds.

I came here about 35 years ago, it was very basic play equipment and adults had fun. Now it's only open from 10am - 4pm, not 24 hours like the old days. Nowadays it is a gated playground more for children than adults. It has lovely green grass with shelters for family picnics, public toilets, free BBQ and a kiosk for refreshments.
If you like my ratings please follow me.

Great adventure playground for the kids. Adults might be a bit stung on how different it is to the old days, but for new kids it’s a blast.
There is a huge maze that is actually a bit of a challenge. My two young kids loved it. There is also a lookout on the outside of the maze to admire the challenge you just overcame.
There’s an ankle deep man made river that flows through most of the park that my kids loved having leaf races on. It does lead to a deeper pond that was pretty gross looking.
There’s also play equipment for younger kids. So there’s something for everyone.

Took the family there on a beautiful 20 degrees celcius June Saturday.
Decent number of families there so it didn't feel too abandoned or crowded. Who knows what summer peak is like.
The park appeared very clean and well maintained. Not sure who pays for the maintenance, but there is a donation box at the front entrance asking for upkeep support.
There are multiple BBQ setups to ensure more families can cook at the same time. Toilet facility is big and standard park fare.
The play equipment are varied and cater for todlers up to teens to enjoy. Equipment are clean and appear decently maintained.
There is a running artificial creek for some water play. There is a big maze for a bit of group hide and seek play.
Overall, we had a fun 80 minute there and could have spent a whole day doing picnic or birthday parties. Well worth a visit for families with kids.

Sadly, it is very desolate, not like the old Monash playground. This playground is typical of all playgrounds these days. Wrapped in bubble wrap and nothing very fun to do, all thanks to the insurance companies back in the early nineties 😑 on a good note, very well manicured gardens and a nice picnic area.
We arrived in Berri for the first time and was greeted by Lucy in the Visitors centre. Her knowledge and enthusiasm was absolutely contagious and we spent the next 2 days visiting almost every establishment in the area. She has inspired us to return and spend at least a week here. A great location.

Top location for a Visitor Information Centre. Lady working there (had no name badge on) firstly told us there were no pink lakes in SA. 🤔
Then she later says to me, ‘You live in _______ and you don’t know where Lake Eyre is?’ Really! Quite rude.
I have only lived in _______ for a few weeks. Never been to this part of this beautiful country before. I have travelled overseas numerous times, not all of Australia yet though.
Lady, this is why people go to Information Centres, to get information, not be criticised.
In the end she asked where we were headed after ________ and gave a lot of brochures/books to assist us.

Lucy was so helpful and she gave us lot of information about the riverland and she recommended good parks for our daughter as well🙂. We were sad as we went to information centre on our last day of our trip to check about boat trips. We'll go there again.

Phone enquiry to the lady there, was very helpful and bright. Assisted me to locate a local store.
Fantastic experience to see the Murray River and Gurra Gurra Creek. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Kym was very accommodating in meeting us at 7am so we could collect the boats from him early to avoid the expected high midday heat.
We had 3 hours just the 2 of us following Kym's map and it was wonderful experience seeing so much wildlife. At points we had 20 pelicans flying around us in circles and sat in awe gliding down the creek watching them.
An accessible route to kayak with no demanding sections.
Very reasonably priced for 2 single canoes.
Thank you for providing us the opportunity to see the river and creek this way. If we return to the area, we hope to do again!

My family of consisting of 5yo & 7yo boys and 2 adults absolutely loved our sunrise canoe adventure with Kym. It was very laid back and relaxing despite the two very energetic youngsters. He was very knowledgeable about the surrounds (among other things) and we had very interesting conversations. Snack time was a lot of fun as not only did we need to go through reeds to get to and from shore, Karen packed a wonderful snack of biscuits and home dried fruit! Delicious. The time we spent in the water was the highlight of our short trip to the Riverland. It's sparked a canoeing interest in my family. Thanks Kym and Karen. Highly recommended.

Kym was extremely helpful in getting our family set up and on the water. He gave us helpful tips and options for one way with pick up or a return journey. The scenery was spectacular and we made some beautiful memories on the river.

Did the twilight tour. SUCH a lovely evening. We were mainly off the main river so lovely scenery, close hanging trees, truly magical. Not too strenuous so you’re able to enjoy the surrounds and a beach-stop for sunset. Thanks Kym and team! 🩷

We called up on short notice and they were super easy to deal with, very helpful and got us sorted with two canoes and maps to spend a lovely couple of hours on the water in a lovely spot. The prices where very reasonable and it was all organized with no stress. Will definitely be using them again

I recently organised a kayaking expedition with canoe adventures, the whole experience was fantastic. My sister and I spent 2 nights camping and kayaking along the Murray.
Kym was great to deal with, the whole service including kayak hire, drop off and pick up was seamless and reasonably priced. Plus Kym gave us great tips and insight on the best places to stay and see.
I would highly recommend for anyone looking to explore more of this beautiful part of Australia.

Had a great time kayaking this morning. Kim met us at the launch and went through the safety considerations and recommended route. It was a great experience, beautiful surrounds with plenty of birdlife. Unfortunately we became a little lost and Kim drove out to where we were and fished us out. Would completely recommend the experience to anyone heading out Riverland way 😊

My partner and I met Kym at 9am to launch from Gurra Gurra. We spent 3h on the water just floating down with the current. The wetlands were the highlight with their bird life and close tree lined banks. The barges were very interesting to see up close too. It was a great way to see the river.
Great activity for a half day, highly recommended.

This was the highlight of our short trip to Berri. Kym was a terrific guide and very knowledgeable about the wildlife, birds and the river in general. We especially appreciate their flexibility in moving our booking due to the unpredictable weather. Thanks for an amazing time, we would love to do it all again!

Our family of 4 had an awesome time out and about in Loch Luna. A beautiful spot and the suggestions given by Kym and Hayden helped us get the most out of our day. Equipment, delivery, communication and advice all spot-on. Thoroughly recommended.
