Kids’ Day serves up hours of fun for everyone

Kid’s reign supreme on day one of the Adelaide International 2024 with the first day of the tournament being all about fun for the kids.

With an expanded event footprint taking over Pinky Flat, a day family friendly fun is on offer on Monday 8 January 2024.

Think giant lawn games under the shade of the trees opposite The Drive, inflatable tennis games and other activities, face painting, balloon making, a newly developed colouring in station, and even the chance to pick up a racquet and have a go at Hot Shots Tennis.

Tennis SA CEO and Adelaide International General Manager Debbie Sterrey says Kids’ Day is about encouraging families to spend the day together, providing them everything they need to have a good time.

The Adelaide International Kids’ Day is providing families with lots of free activities for the kids to keep them entertained and give the adults perhaps the opportunity to experience world class tennis for the first time.

“The day has been designed to attract and entertain families seeking a fun day out together over the summer break,” said Debbie.

With food trucks and cold drinks on offer, the adults can sit back and relax on the lawns of Pinky Flat whilst the kids enjoy all the planned activities. The kids can choose their favourite activity and way to spend the day, with many expected to pick up a tennis racquet and have a hit for the first time in this relaxed setting. Plus it is day one of the Adelaide International with their general admission tickets allowing them courtside for all the action.

Tickets start from $10, making the experience affordable and a great way to be a part of Australia’s Summer of Tennis in your own backyard.

Tickets to the Adelaide International 2024 on Monday 8 January 2024 and adult tickets start from $10 – the best part, kids are absolutely FREE!
