Family Fun

drag onto travel planner

Kids can enjoy the Barossa too!   Bring your family to the Barossa to see a wonderous whispering wall, watch lively sheepdogs perform some tricks, or see Australia's largest private Lego collection.

The Whispering Wall has acoustic effects that allow you to whisper at one end, and have a friend hear your whisper more than 100 metres away. Children in particular love visiting the wall and testing its abilities. See it in Williamstown. Or watch a cute and clever sheepdog performance by Norm's Coolies - see the love between Norm and his faithful companions as they win the hearts of the audience.

Visit the Lego Man in Angaston. You'll love Tom Lucieer's remarkable collection of Lego models.

Or take in the view from Mengler Hill Lookout and Sculpture Park, visit the award-winning Barossa Bushgardens, discover the Barossa Goldfields, explore Mount Crawford Forest, fossick for gems at Birthstones, hire a bike and ride the Mawson Trail and Barossa Bike Path and feed the ducks at Nuriootpa Linear Park. You could even come face to face with kangaroos in Kaiser Stuhl Conservation Park.

Other great things to do with the family include:

  • Sample fun flavoured ice-cream including Shiraz, Cabernet and quince at Tanunda's IceCreamery, opposite Tanunda Hotel.
  • Relive a fairytale and enjoy the array of games, puzzles and other fun activities at Storybook Cottage and The Whacky Wood

    Recreation Park.
