Jess came to pick us up from our Adelaide Hills accommodation. There was only 1 other couple so it was an extremely comfortable day trip.

Bounce Inc Adelaide

BOUNCE is a world where the wall becomes the floor, a slam-dunk is within your grasp and the rules of gravity no longer apply. It's packed with lots of things to do with kids and the family. BOUNCE takes the rush of getting airborne and adds a bunch of new dimensions - from aerial manoeuvres to slam dunking, wall running and dodgeball warfare. The best part is it doesn't matter if you're under 5 or an action sports junkie - you're never too old or too young to have an awesome time. With more than 100 interconnected trampolines housed within huge, colourful spaces at a growing number of locations around Australia, BOUNCE is a spring-loaded urban playground with a wide range of things to do with kids; where hard surfaces are replaced with circus-grade sponge, giant air bags and Springs. The rush of BOUNCE is infectious. Look around and everyone's buzzing, whether they're running up The Wall, launching into the Big Bag or loosening up in the Free Jump arena. It can be as easy or as challenging as you like - a training ground for aerial sports acrobatics, a place to kick back and look out over the action, or just a hard-core form of exercise that lets you burn energy without noticing you're in the middle of a cardio workout. And our friendly staff are always there to offer safety tips and show you a few moves along the way.

Kids had a fun time, its a great way for them to expend a lot of energy! Staff are on hand if required. And there are various "bouncey" activities they can do in addition to parkour! It's our son's choice of activity.Thank you for spending some family time here at Bounce and for going out of your way to leave a review. Glad to hear the kids had fun burning off all their energy. See you again soon!

Diving Adelaide

Diving Adelaide is Adelaide's premier PADI 5* Dive Centre with Australia's lowest gear prices and Adelaide's best pricing on scuba diving courses!Every week we run diving courses, snorkel tours, shore dives and of course night diving. There are over 600 different species of fish located right here in Adelaide and it's the only place in the world to see the amazing Leafy Sea Dragon!

Reviewed By Nick M - Melbourne, Australia

I've travelled a few times to Adelaide and have tried a few of the different dive stores around SA. Ron and his team are totally committed to customer service and satisfaction. What's more important is that Diving Adelaide is more than just a 'dive shop'. They have created a community so that if you don't have a dive buddy or you want to go on a dive trip, they have a great network of friends and customers.
I always recommend Diving Adelaide to friends and strangers around SA who are looking to get into diving or the local dive sites.

I have loved Haigh's chocolates forever so visits are frequent.
The showroom is bright, inviting, able to cope with a crowd and full of tempting delights.
This time I was on a quick Mission and sadly in a hurry... A box of Chocolate Truffles was to be today's buy...So I had to bypass the 'specials' and the great variety on offer..Giant and little frogs and a huge range of boxed delights and glass cabinets full of tempting old and new pieces of hand processed treats of every flavour imaginable.
In spite of the large group of visitors awaiting a tour (Not to be missed, fond memories of one of those) I was served promptly, but not rushed, and offered choices of box presentation...and a 'taste of the day'.
My mother in her nineties only ever wanted one thing for birthdays and Christmas...A Box of Haighs. I understand why!

Adelaide Gaol

Experience what life was like behind bars for the prisoners who once called the Adelaide Gaol their home. Open for business from 1841 to 1988, the Gaol was one of Australia's longest continuously operational prison facilities. Over those gruelling 147 years, the Gaol housed some of the state's most notorious and dangerous criminals. Almost 300,000 prisoners whiled away some time at His (or Her) Majesty's pleasure, and 45 unfortunates were executed within its walls - including the only woman to be executed in South Australia. Step back in time and walk the hallways and cells of South Australia's first inmates. Experience what daily life in prison was really like. Wander along, lost in your own imagination and visit our interactive exhibition. If you're really lucky, you may catch a glimpse of one of our ghostly residents. Opening times: 9am - 5pm - 7 days a week Last entry for self-guided tours is at 4.00pm

Did the evening ghost walk, with a guide, who revealed the history of the jail. Very atmospheric inside. Scary in places! Very informative though, about how a jail changed through the age's. I found the hanging tower and the graves made me stop and think about what it must have been like.
Would recommend it.

Reviewed By Daniel H - Melbourne

Home to the mighty Adelaide Crows. This stadium has been radically rebuilt to add modern comfort and enhance the traditional features.'The hill' a grassed area in front of the amazing antique scoreboard was retained. A area to sit on the grass and share a beer or 20 with other likeminded supporters.
With a capacity of over 50000 it's big enough to really feel the roar of the crowd. During the cricket season there is a additional food market out behind the members stand which adds to the experience. The bars and food outlets are ample but very overpriced.
State of the art visual display and sound system adds another element to the event.
Well worth the trip to SA to come watch your team play. Most likely the best stadium in Australia.
