Cosmic fun awaits at Karoonda’s stellar playground

Get ready to embark on an interstellar journey without leaving Earth! Karoonda’s space-themed playground is a celestial wonder that’s captivating families and thrill-seekers alike.

Inspired by the famous Karoonda Meteorite, this cosmic play zone boasts South Australia’s only three-level summit tower, soaring an impressive 10 metres high. But that’s just the beginning of the astronomical adventures that await you and your little astronauts.

A galactic playground experience

As you step into this otherworldly playground, you’ll be greeted by a dazzling array of space-inspired attractions. The crown jewel is undoubtedly the towering three-storey structure, complete with a double tube slide that’ll have kids squealing with delight as they hurtle through what feels like actual black holes. From the observation deck, budding astronomers can survey their surroundings and plan their next mission.

Orbiting fun for all ages

But the fun doesn’t stop at the summit. Young space explorers can hop aboard the lunar rover buggy, imagining themselves traversing alien landscapes. The ‘space tether’ flying fox offers a chance to soar through the air like a comet, while the orbiting carousel spins riders into fits of giggles. For a moment of calm amidst the cosmic chaos, the stargazing hammock provides the perfect spot to catch your breath and dream of distant galaxies.

Making a splash in the Mallee

No space adventure is complete without a bit of aquatic action, and Karoonda delivers with its innovative water play area. It’s the perfect spot to cool off after all that intergalactic exploration. Plus, with essential amenities nearby – including toilets, a bakery, and a pub just across the road – you’ve got everything you need for a full day of family fun.

As part of the brilliant Mallee Playground Trail, Karoonda’s space-themed wonderland is truly out of this world.

It’s rapidly becoming a must-visit destination for Adelaide families on road trips, offering an experience that’s both educational and wildly entertaining. So why wait? Suit up, count down, and blast off to Karoonda for a playground adventure that’s simply stellar!
