The colder seasons make curling up by the fire with a hot beverage in hand rather tempting, but why not brave the outdoors and make the most of what Adelaide has to offer this winter. In true wintery style, Adelaide will have FOUR ice skating rinks around town this July, because clearly you guys LOVE a good skating session. Plus (of course) they all have some great sideline entertainment, food and other perks on offer.
Skating At Festival
Head on out to the Skating At Festival in Victoria Square, as it hits Adelaide for the first time. Launching TODAY (June 29) AT 4:00pm it’s located in the city’s centre, giving something for everyone at this affordable, family-friendly skating rink no matter your age or experience with skating.
Sick of skating? Why not grab a snow tube and race your mates right down The Runway or bounce like a Kangaroo on the Powder Peak inflatable slide. You could ‘jump as high as the sky’ and go for a bounce on the Cloud Castle. There’s even a Ferris Wheel, Mt Carnival, for all you thrill seekers out there, but don’t waste any time as this new pop up rink will only be running until Sunday, July 22.
Gliding under the stars all night long, the Victoria Square skating rink will no doubt keep you entertained for hours. There’s also a stack of great food options available.
