The centre is a great place to visit for exercise, recreation, or simply to cool off during warmer months. **What to Bring** Swimsuit, towel, change of clothes, sunscreen, water bottle, and money for lockers. **Best Age Range** Toddler pool is ideal for babies and toddlers up to age 5. The leisure pool and slides are better suited for children aged 5 and up, with supervision. The 50m pool is for lap swimmers. **Good to Know** Parking is available on-site, and some free street parking is often available nearby. Bookings are generally not required for general entry but may be for specific classes or programs. There is a café on-site for refreshments. The centre is accessible for prams and wheelchairs. **Nearby** Adelaide Zoo and the Botanic Garden of South Australia are a short drive away in the heart of Adelaide. **Tips From Other Parents** Weekends and school holidays can be very busy, especially in the leisure pool area. Weekday mornings are generally quieter, especially if you are targeting toddler group times. The water slides have specific operating hours, so check these before you go if they are a priority.
