Port Broughton Tourist Park
Now’s the time for that Yorke Peninsula getaway you’ve been talking about forever. At Port Broughton Tourist Park, two hours’ drive from Adelaide, the kids will be gleeful at the prospect of a swimming pool, splash park, waterslide, mini golf, ninja playground, go karts, bouncing pillow, and pump track. To add a cherry on top, did we mention it’s right beside the beach with a boat ramp? When you tear yourself away from the park’s amusements, there’s lots to explore. If you’re a keen fishing family, book a Double Header Fishing Charter, or take a sunset stroll along Port Broughton Jetty before picking up takeaway fish and chips for a foreshore picnic.
Discovery Parks - Goolwa
Splash, bounce, and dive into fun at Discovery Parks - Goolwa, perfectly located between the Murray River and the Southern Ocean. Their resort-style swimming pool offers a luxurious escape for parents, while sports facilities, a nature playground, bouncing pillow, and waterpark will amuse kids for hours. Adventurous activities in the area include abseiling and ATV quad bike tours, while Goolwa Beach is a local favourite for a reason. If you’re a family of animal lovers, take a Southern Ocean cruise to spot fur seals and sea lions! Mix your family’s favourite water activities with stellar in-park features for an ideal holiday.
Victor Harbor Holiday Park
Just an hour’s drive from Adelaide, Victor Harbor Holiday Park offers delights both in and beyond the park. Cool off in their two pools, from a resort-style pool with shaded areas and sun lounges to the main pool with its shallow section for the youngest of swimmers. Boasting waterslides and a splash park that are perfect for sunny weather, kids will also fall in love with the pump track, mini golf, playground, games room, and free school holiday activities. Hire bikes for a family cycling trip and race each other on pedal karts. Taste scrumptious baked treats at the famous Port Elliot bakery, spot whales off the coast, or visit Urimbirra Open-Range Wildlife Park for animal encounters. Ride the Cockle Train to Goolwa or take a horse-drawn tram to Granite Island. It’s a blast from sunrise to sunset.
Wallaroo Holiday Park
An incredible stay awaits you at Wallaroo Holiday Park. Kids will be spoilt for choice with a playground, communal firepit, petting zoo, pump track, bouncing pillow, games room, and cinema facilities. Hire go karts, kayaks, and stand-up paddle boards from the park, and enquire at the tour desk for suggestions. This historic mining town has lots of fun things to do, from its adventure playground to the jetty where you can fish for snapper, flathead, and tommy ruff (the park has a boat and fish cleaning area and crab cookers to make the most of your catch). Board a train at the Moonta Mines Tourist Railway for a guided tour of the national heritage area.
Discovery Parks - Barossa Valley
Wine regions aren’t just for adults, especially not at Discovery Parks - Barossa Valley. While the parents savour the local drop at outstanding cellar doors, kids can meander around the vines, gardens, and green spaces (and say hello to a couple of friendly “wine dogs”!). Ten pin bowling and mini golf await at Barossa Bowland, or stay close to home and soak in the park’s heated swimming pool and spa. They’ve got one of the biggest and best splash parks in the G’day Parks network!
Port Lincoln Tourist Park
Explore the sand and sea with your family at Port Lincoln Tourist Park. It’s a short drive or easy walk into town, and the beach is on your doorstep; the park has its own jetty and boat ramp for fishing and boating. Pick out an ice cream from the kiosk after days full of the playground and diving into the pool. Nearby, Lincoln National Park has bushwalking, mountain biking, 4WDing, fishing, and whale watching opportunities (the secluded bay at Memory Cove is a highlight). Seafood is a big deal around here, so make sure to try some at local restaurants. Swim with sea lions or, if you’re feeling brave, take up the challenge of shark cage diving. Port Lincoln makes for a great Eyre Peninsula holiday.
