Families around Adelaide have plenty of options for a relaxed day out on the land. Farm parks in the surrounding hills and plains offer open-air space, animal encounters and a change of pace from the city, making them a solid pick for kids of all ages.
Before you head off, check each farm’s own website for opening times and any seasonal closures. Wear sturdy shoes suited to muddy paths, pack sun protection, and consider booking ahead during school holidays when farms tend to get busy.
Distances are measured in a straight line from Adelaide city centre, so allow extra time by road.
