The Ultimate April School Holiday “What To Do With The Kids” Guide

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. So cool, huh! And when you, I mean the kids, need some downtime, there’s a recharge station and there’s also a Lollipop Pop-up market to peruse. Seriously, they weren’t kidding when they named it ‘Kidz Gigantic Day Out’, it’s of epic proportions! WHEN: Easter Long Weekend WHERE: Convention Centre, North Terrace INFO: kidzdayout.com.au 2. 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. So, for all this cuteness and more – have this at the top of your what to do these school holidayslist! WHEN: 10am-4pm, 7 days a week WHERE: 2282 Mount Barker Rd, Hahndorf INFO: farmbarn.com.au 3. EASTER EGG HUNT @ BOB AND OLIVES Where oh where has the Easter Bunny hidden all those yummy eggs? We have a hint… at The Parkside Hotel. Tell your kiddos to grab their baskets and get their egg-hunting on for Bob & Olive’s Easter egg Hunt Extravaganza! Whilst adults have to sit out this search for chocolate, it’s the perfect excuse for some time out and a cheeky mimosa or three… and once the kids are hyped up on chocolate and can’t possibly fit anymore in… you’ll get the leftovers, it’s a win win for everyone! WHEN: April 14th, 10am-12pm WHERE: Parkside Hotel INFO: parksidehotel.com.au 4. LITTLE PICASSO’S SCHOOL HOLIDAY & ART CAMP Here at KIDDO Mag, we are obsessed with Little Picasso’s, and equally obsessed with their holiday art camps! It’s a great way for children to still learn and stimulate their brain during the holiday, all whilst being creative, learning new skills and letting their imagination take over in a beautiful environment with incredible teachers. Workshops range from an hour or two to full day sessions and are available for children from 2-16 years of age. We highly recommend! WHEN: Check website for dates and times. WHERE: Hyde Park, Glenelg, Woodcroft (check the site for info about your closest studio) INFO: littlepicassos.com.au 5. ZOOCATION SCHOOL HOLIDAY CARE Adelaide Zoo’s ‘Zoocation’ is a special school holiday program specifically for 5-12 year olds. It’s an unforgettable experience where your child will get to spend the day with a qualified Conservation Educator exploring all that the Adelaide Zoo has to offer.

REVIEW: Feel The Heat At Circus Rio

Feel the heat at Circus Rio The only circus I’ve ever experienced firsthand is the one haphazardly performed daily in my living room as I attempt to get the kids ready for school in the morning, so when invited to attend Circus Rio, I was excited to find out what a performance underneath a legitimate big top was really like. In Adelaide for the first time ever, the team at Circus Rio did not disappoint. The spirit of the carnival is very much alive from the opening Samba number, in what is a joyous celebration of music, light, costume, colour and the remarkable capability of the human form. The athleticism of the aerialists, who dangled perilously from ropes and ribbons was enough to make anyone want to up their weights regime, with the Circus Rio team making a series of unnerving stunts look effortless. Featuring a variety of high energy acts, there is enough slapstick comedy, acrobatics and old school circus classics like juggling and rolla bolla to keep both adults and children enthralled throughout the two-hour extravaganza. A highlight of the show was undoubtedly the FMX motorbikes soaring and backflipping through the big top which left the jaws of my three, at times unimpressible, children agape. Circus Rio is definitely an event for the whole family, with both little and big people alike welcomed onto the stage after the show for a meet and greet and photo opportunities with the performers. Don’t pass up the opportunity to see this travelling troupe while they’re in town! Tickets from $19 for kids and $29 for adults Circus Rio Bonython Park, Adelaide 05 Apr – 12 May 2019 Tickets available here

This Summer Don’t Forget The…

This Summer Don’t Forget The… Summer is well and truly here, forget about swimsuit anxiety, nothing brings on panic faster than trying to prepare for every possible situation that can arise on a day at the beach with children. Hot sand, too much sun, wind, hungry, thirsty… you get the idea. What sets out to be a perfect day at the beach can end up with everyone retreating back to the car and heading for the relative sand-free calm of home. But having a well-stocked bag for a day at the beach can alleviate all (okay, most) things that stand in the way of a fun day on the coast. In everyday life, a mother’s handbag is like a scene from Mary Poppins. A random assortment of items both useful (and not) that can solve almost any situation. So, how do we create the same effectiveness in a beach bag? At National Pharmacies, we’re parents, so we understand what’s needed to turn testing moments into happy ones. That’s why we’ve put together the products that we think are all worth some space in that massive beach sack. Sunscreen It’s an obvious one. But what’s worth noting is how much sunscreen formulas have changed. There are now more options available that can make tackling the regular sunscreen application to an impatient, wet, sandy child, far less stressful. Come and see our helpful staff and we’ll make sure you’re armed with what you need for your next beach adventure. Talcum Powder It’s a little-known fact that before getting back into the car, one of the best ways to remove sticky sand off little people is with talcum powder. Don’t knock it until you try it, a small container of inexpensive talc will soon be your beach #lifehack. Vaseline / Zinc cream If your children can’t get enough of the ocean, then the combination of salt water and bathers, boardshorts or rashies, can make chaffing a painful reality. It sounds strange, but Vaseline or zinc cream applied in those areas before the day begins can provide a barrier that will stop the problem before it begins. Children’s Pain Relief It’s little surprise that the combination of lots of running around, maybe not drinking enough water and high glare can bring on a headache. And if some time under the umbrella and a big dose of water doesn’t do the trick, having some handy pain relief can be a big help. Pain relief for children now comes in so many different formulas but our friendly staff can help make sure you have something that will suit everyone’s needs. Lip Balm / Zinc Lips are easily burnt and need protection so a tube of lip balm will prevent sunburn and also windburn. Another great option for kids that are reluctant to put on ‘lipstick’ is coloured zinc, which is fun and also a great way for you to know they have it on! Hydralyte Sachets of hydralyte are a smart way to keep little people hydrated – without them even realising. Sachets come in a range of great flavours and are easy to put into a bag and be added to drink bottles on the go. And before you head to the beach, consider putting some of the ready made Hydralyte icy poles in the freezer – perfect for giving the kids an extra hit of hydration when you get back home – added bonus, it’ll feel like a treat. So, there you have it! Our list of the obvious and not so obvious inclusions in a beach bag to help make beach life a breeze. We’ll now leave it up to you to collect the bathers, the rashies, the boogie boards, the hats, the thongs, the sunglasses, the snacks, the lunch, the goggles, the bucket, the spade, the sun shelter….. And enjoy summer with a little wisdom from National Pharmacies nationalpharmacies.com.au Edit

Mega Adventure’s New GIANT Swing!

Mega Adventure‘s New GIANT Swing! The Holidays are in full swing at Mega Adventure with the addition of their new 18M GIANT SWING! Lazing by the pool this summer just got a whole lot less interesting when the alternative is a heart-pumping 18m Giant Swing experience at West Beach! That’s right, ban all screen time, hop in the car and take your holiday activities to new heights! Just in case Mega Adventure’s SkyChallenge (which has more than 80 aerial crossings, a free-fall jump and the Crows Nest – a 30-metre, near-vertical climb wasn’t already enough action packed, exhilarating fun…. It’s time to try the park’s newest attraction. The new Giant Swing combines the thrill of swinging fast and high through the air with gorgeous ocean views, an activity sure to get the adrenaline racing. We’ve featured Mega Adventure in our “57 Things to do in Adelaide with Kids” article. Mega Adventure’s General Manager, Stephen Grundy, says: “The swing is something we’ve had in mind since we opened the park and we think our guests are going to love it, it’s quite a thrilling experience,” he says. “It’s been inspired by some successful rides in New Zealand.” Riders are strapped into their seat at ground level, before being winched up to 18m off the ground where they release the swing. Expect squeals of trepidation and delight! Both the swing and top of the SkyChallenge rewards climbers with beautiful 360-degree views taking in the ocean, city and Adelaide Hills. “The SkyChallenge takes several hours so the great thing about the Giant Swing is that it’s a shorter experience for people who don’t have much time,” Mr Grundy says. “The swing takes about half an hour with the ride itself lasting just under 10 minutes, so it’s an opportunity for more people to come and enjoy our park.” Mega Adventure is now celebrating its third birthday and has become a popular destination for thrill seekers of all ages, including families, work groups and even pre-wedding parties. “When we launched, we really introduced aerial adventure to Adelaide and we’ve made it accessible to a wide audience. It’s the ultimate in outdoor fun,” Mr Grundy says. Mega Adventure caters for all ages and abilities and provides the ideal day out for families wanting some screen-free outdoor fun over the school holidays. Online bookings are recommended. The Giant Swing has a minimum height restriction of one metre, but never fear littlee’s can have their fun on the MegaBounce instead. Mega Adventure is open daily from 10am to 6pm and is located within Adelaide Shores, on the corner of Military Road and Hamra Avenue, West Beach.
