"You could spend all day at Cleland Wildlife Park, but don’t miss the afternoon keeper presentations. Hear interesting talks on dingoes and Tasmanian devils at 2:30 pm and 3:00 pm before feeding time. I’ve also been there on a Friday afternoon and have seen koalas being weighed, which was too cute for words!"

"If you'd prefer to spend a day solely among Australia's endemic animals – kangaroos, koalas, emus, etc – then don't miss this beloved wildlife park in the Adelaide Hills!"

"Do go chasing waterfalls on one of the many trails in Morialta Conservation Park. The three falls are at their best in spring or winter. Spot koalas in the trees and hunt for tadpoles in the creeks and rock pools."

"For wildlife spotting, city views and heart rate-raising hikes, head for Cleland Conservation Park. Flanking the eastern foothills of the city and marking the start of the Adelaide Hills, here a network of walking trails weaving through bushland are teeming with wildlife, including the popular Waterfall Gully to Mount Lofty hike and a section of the Heysen Trail. To hike without another soul in sight, choose one of the lesser known surrounding 11 trails and traverse through dense bushland, up challenging inclines, by waterfalls and past sites of historical and cultural importance as you spot koalas, kangaroos and birdlife."

In addition, the park offers night tours, when some marsupials are most active."

"There’s nothing like a long walk by the sea to soothe the soul, and Hallett Cove Conservation Park offers breathtaking coastal views along the 2km hike. In just under an hour’s drive from the city, meander along coastal clifftops with a fresh ocean breeze in your face before stopping for a snap at the insta-worthy Sugarloaf formation. Once the site of a glacial lake which melted some 270 million years ago, Hallett Cove Conservation Park is renowned as one of Australia’s most important geological and archaeological sites."

"The St. Kilda adventure playground has a reputation as ‘must-visitʼ and rightly so. It is SO MUCH FUN – oh, and the kids love it too Itʼs just a short drive away from the Adelaide CBD and can be filed under: full day out of fun. The revamped playground includes slides, a pirate ship, castle and flying fox as well as plenty of room to run around and a great BBQ area too – we werenʼt kidding when we said you can make a day out of it."

"Not centrally located to Adelaide, this outdoor adventure land is worth the 45-minute drive it takes to arrive from downtown Adelaide. This playground isn’t just for the kids – castles, slides, pirate ships and even flying foxes!. This playground isn’t all located in one spot, it is spread out over a large area – send the family out for a good run from one structure to another."

"Located in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, I only discovered this museum a couple of years ago. It’s apparently the last of it’s kind in the world, and some of it is still displaying items that were first included 130 years ago. There are hundreds of plant samples from leaves to seeds and flowers."

"It is an aboriginal owned and operated art centre, the oldest of its kind. It has been in operation for almost three decades, and the museum displays interactive exhibition dealing with the stories of the First people."

"Fried chicken is popping up around town at the moment, but Buk Buk is a noteworthy new addition that’s worth paying attention to. Its specialty is Nashville-style hot chicken, which involves drenching chicken in a buttermilk hot sauce, coating it in flour, deep-frying it, then brushing it again with a spice mix. The result, usually served on a slice of white bread with pickle slices, is hot (although there are some milder options)."
