Big things, mazes and farm fun
The best family activities in Mylor
Climb a giant rocking horse, get lost in a hedge maze, ride a heritage steam train and feed the animals on a day made for kids.
The Adelaide Hills is made for family days out, with wildlife encounters, big open spaces and quirky landmarks all packed into an easy drive from the city. Kids can get nose-to-nose with native animals, climb a giant rocking horse, ride a steam train and burn off energy on nature playgrounds and gentle trails.
Top of the list is Cleland Wildlife Park, where children can hand-feed free-roaming kangaroos and meet koalas, while the towering Big Rocking Horse at Gumeracha pairs a climb with a free wildlife park and toy factory. Morialta Conservation Park has a justly popular nature playground beneath its waterfalls, and the Mount Lofty Botanic Garden offers space to roam.
For a change of pace, the National Motor Museum at Birdwood and volunteer-run heritage railways add a dose of history, and the region's farm shops and pick-your-own orchards turn a snack stop into an adventure.
