Families & Kids

This section is designed for kids to make the most out of their visit to the Barossa. Most people think of the Barossa as a wine area full of vineyards and winery tasting places – just the thing that kids love – not!
 
We live here so we know that there is a lot more to the Barossa than wine. It is a great place to live and play for a family with kids.
 
There is so much for kids to do that will keep you busy for a few days - at least. Let your parents know what you want to do but make sure you leave some time for them to visit wineries!
 
If you have any feedback or if you find something that is great for kids but we haven’t mentioned it please contact us
