HILLS ARCHERS

Last updated April 2026

At Hills Archers in Lenswood, Adelaide, kids step into a medieval adventure with real bows and arrows in a safe, supervised setting. This is archery for kids done right, where children as young as five can nock their first arrow and feel the thrill of hitting the target within minutes. The outdoor range is surrounded by Adelaide Hills bushland, making every session feel like a quest in the great outdoors. Parents love the clear safety briefings and patient instructors who make sure every child leaves with a smile and a story to tell. It’s the kind of hands-on activity that builds confidence and focus, all while having fun in the fresh air. **What to Bring** Wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting grass-stained. Bring a water bottle and a snack to keep energy up between shots. A light jacket is useful, especially on breezy days in the hills. **Best Age Range** Aimed at kids from 5 to 15 years old. Younger kids can join with close supervision, but the program is best suited to children who can follow instructions and safely handle a bow. **Good to Know** Sessions run most weekends and during school holidays. Pre-booking is essential, especially in peak times like school holidays. Cost is around $15 per child for a one-hour session, with family discounts available. Check the website for exact timing and seasonal availability. **Nearby** Grab an ice cream at The Lane Vineyard just down the road in Theobald Terrace, Hahndorf after archery practice. **Tips From Other Parents** Book early on weekends — sessions fill up quickly. Dress in layers; the hills can be chilly even on warm days. Let the kids wear their favourite hat — they’ll feel like a true archer.
