The Ultimate April School Holiday List – What To Do With The Kids In Adelaide These Easter School Holidays! My oh my, how is it April already?! This year is flying by in a jiffy, we’re officially a quarter of the way through (how?!), the cooler nights and change in leaves reminds us that Autumn is well and truly here… and with that the Easter School Holidays are just. around. the. corner! We know we know, that can sometimes spark instant fear because what do we do with the kids in the holidays?! Plus, Easter Holidays mean there’s an extra sugar high thanks to our old friend, The Easter Bunny, therefore even more energy to burn. Alas, before you shriek with horror at the thought of two weeks of a broken record consisting of ‘I’m bored’ and ‘What are we doing today’… take a deep breath, take a sip of coffee and relax though because we have got you covered. We have compiled the ultimate list of 32 fun things to do in Adelaide, with kids, these Easter school holidays (and surprisingly, they don’t all include eating chocolate!), there is a great mix of chocolatey Easter fun included, but also outdoor activities, nature play, workshops, arts and crafts, educational activities and things to do in Adelaide that are fun for the whole family! Oh and don’t forget to check out our ultimate school holiday guide here (which we update as every school term draws to a close) as there’s loads on there too! 1. KIDZ GIGANTIC DAY OUT Wondering what to do in Adelaide over the holidays? Well, look no further – and don’t miss out on Adelaide’s biggest, most exciting kids event is here over the Easter Long Weekend and we can’t hardly wait! Offering fun for the whole family with hours of entertainment from toddlers to teens, Kidz Gigantic Day Out has four interactive zones (play, learn, build and discover), attractions, an inflatable obstacle course, a PJ Masks live stage show, a native animal stage show, science and nature play, messy play, lego, plus – real life fire engines and army tanks to discover.

HAHNDORF FARM BARN Baby animals are cute, fact. Our little kiddos are even cuter, fact. It’s impossible to find something cuter than kiddos with baby farm animals, fact. So, for all this aforementioned cuteness, you need to get yourself, with your kiddos in tow down to the Hahndorf Farm Barn these Easter School Holidays. Your kiddos can see cows, sheep, kangaroos, ponies, rabbits and deer – just to name a few. It’s a fun (and did we mention, cute?!) family day out, and when you’re done there are so many amazing eateries in Hahndorf which is probably one of Adelaide’s cutest towns.
