To ensure you experience everything great about Adelaide, we have compiled a list of the top five things you should do on your group getaway.
Take a tour of Adelaide Oval
Sports enthusiasts will love an in-depth tour of the iconic Adelaide Oval – one of Australia’s most recognisable and prestigious venues and hosts cricket, football, concerts, functions and major events at the highest level. A guided tour will give your group a behind-the-scenes look at the famous sporting venue. For 90 minutes, you’ll also learn about the old scoreboard, the 100-year-old Moreton Bay fig trees, and the famous music groups and sports teams who have performed at the venue. Cricket fans can delve into cricket memorabilia at the Bradman Museum. This famous sporting ground attracts thousands of visitors from within South Australia, interstate and overseas each year, so it’s one attraction that can’t be missed.
Visit Adelaide Zoo
Adelaide Zoo is one of Adelaide’s most iconic attractions, with people flocking each year to see an extensive array of animals exhibited over eight hectares of magnificent botanic surroundings. You’ll find over 3,000 animals and 250 species of exotic and native mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish. Situated next to the Botanic Gardens, Adelaide Zoo is open every day of the year, and this fantastic wildlife experience is only a 15-minute walk from the city.
Explore the Torrens River on a Pedal-Powered Boat
If you want to explore the Torrens River, which runs westward from the Adelaide Hills, through the centre of Adelaide to the Gulf St Vincent, why not do it on a pedal-powered boat? It’s a fun-filled adventure that allows you to take in the local scenery while getting active in the outdoors. The paddleboats can seat up to two people with life jackets provided.
