Best Outdoor Activities in Queenstown

"Our Adelaide post already suggested a visit to the Adelaide Zoo, so you may already have this suggestion on your radar. It is the only zoo of the four within the Adelaide CBD. The Zoo is the second oldest zoo in Australia and is home to more than 250 species of animals (yes, it is not as big as Berlin)."

"The seasonal Moseley Beach Club is back again for an exciting summer on the famed Glenelg beach foreshore from November 30 2020 to late March 2021.

In the meantime visit the Moseley on Jetty Road)"

"Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary is another Adelaide institution and it is one of the zoos and wildlife parks in and near Adelaide that is definitely worth considering. Dr John Wamsley started Warrawong in 1969, constructing fences to protect the native animals from feral cats and foxes and create a sanctuary for them. The Sanctuary was closed for a number of years (there were problems getting insurance for the site), before being purchased recently by a couple who are trying to restore it to its former glory."
