Kaiser Stuhl Conservation Park – kids nowadays are always on their mobile phones, tablets, computers and the likes, so during this holiday let them enjoy the nature, go to different parks and enjoy the fresh air and open spaces. Kaiser Stuhl Conservation Park is a protected area in the suburb of Flaxman Valley and one of the local’s favorite parks. There are walking trails in this park which passes through different landscapes like rocky outcrops, low forests, creeks and open grassland. It also a beautiful view across the ranges to the Barossa Valley. And if you’re lucky, you can even see kangaroos, possums and echidnas while you’re here.

Z Wine, Whistler Wines, Pindarie – this is Barossa Valley, the region famous for its wines, so we should not forget the # 1 reason why we’re here, the wines! Ooops, sorry, it’s supposed to be for the kids. Nevertheless, cellar doors like Z Wine, Whistler Wines and Pindarie are kid friendly so while you are enjoying sipping that delicious wine, the kids can dig into their own tasting plate featuring local produce like smoke fritz, ember pizza, fairy breads and the likes.
