These free activities will keep your children entertained, and your wallet unopened.

With school holidays just around the corner, it's time to plan a few fun activities to entertain the children. But with a total of 14 days of no school, the activities can easily take a large chunk of money out of your bank account. This is not ideal, especially when we're less than three months out from Christmas (sorry for the reminder).

Why not incorporate some free activities into your child's school holiday schedule. Of course, going for long walks, trips to the park, and visits to the beach would be perfect for the upcoming spring holidays, but we have also found some exciting events happening around Adelaide that will keep your children entertained.



Adelaide Central Market have plenty of events lined up for children over the coming school holidays. Two events which are free include: Art Workshop (all ages) on Friday 5 October, 9:30am - 11:30am, and Pot painting & seedling planting workshop (ages 4 and up) on Friday 12 October, 9:30am - 12:00pm. Both events will be held in the Grote Street Dining Area. Click on the link above for more information.




Churchill Centre have two fantastic events held over two different weeks during the holidays. Flower Pot Craft has been arranged for week one of the school holidays from Wednesday 3 - Saturday 6 October from 11:00am - 2:00pm and Sunday 7 October from 12:00pm - 3:00pm. There will be limited flower pots each day, so try and get in early.

During the second week, the children can have some fun with the Teen Titans Go! GIF Photo Booth from Wednesday 10 October - Saturday 13 October from 11:00am - 2:00pm, and Sunday 14 October from 12:00pm - 3:00pm.




Be sure to check out Ingle Farm Shopping Centre on Thursday 11th October from 10:00am - 4:00pm for an Around The World Treasure Hunt. Bookings are essential, so click on the above link for more information.




Make your way down to Rebel Sport at Westfield Tea Tree Plaza on Tuesday 2 October - Saturday 6 October from 11:00am - 2:00pm to come up close and personal with some of Australia's fascinating animals. There will be a variety of reptiles and insects for your child to look at, and perhaps even hold, there will also be reptile craft for the creative children. Click on the link above for more information.




Is your child a Superhero buff? Take them for a special excursion to Westfield Westlakes to see the Justice League Immersive Zone.

Wonder Woman will be available for photos and a chat. There will be plenty of Superhero games and craft experiences to keep your children entertained for a couple of hours.

Justice League Immersive Zone will be held from Monday 8 - Friday 12 October from 11:00am- 2:00pm. Click on the link for more info.
