Yep, winter is here! So, what is there to do with the kids in Adelaide when it’s wet outside? While a winery visit with a cheese platter might sound ideal to us, the kids don’t quite share the same enthusiasm. So, we’ve pulled together a list of family-friendly activities that might be better received when it’s raining in South Australia.
Hijinx Hotel & Strike Bowling, Rundle Place, Adelaide CBD
A perfect mix of fun activities, including bowling and quirky escape rooms. It’s an excellent way to spend a rainy day indoors. It’s also smack bang in the middle of Rundle Mall, so you can easily tie it in with some shopping, lunch at the newly opened Doughballs next door, and then catch a movie at Palace Nova East End Cinemas.
