What to do in City Of Prospect

Come to the Adelaide Oval to watch sporting legends clash on the hallowed turf during a footy or cricket match. Boo or roar with the excited fans during a home game, or just sit back and enjoy the spectacle.

Located on the shores of Holdfast Bay, approximately 10 kilometres from the centre of Adelaide, Glenelg Beach is a popular spot amongst tourists. The town was founded in 1836 by European settlers and has evolved into a thriving tourist beach destination, perfect for water activities, shopping and dining out.

Opened in 1976, Rundle Mall is South Australia's premier retail location and meeting spot with over 23 million visitors each year. It was Australia's first pedestrian mall and has become a mecca for cultured shoppers.

Just a couple of minutes from the city centre is Adelaide Zoo, the only zoo in Australia to operate on a non-profit basis. Open every day of the year, this 8-hectare conservation area is home to over 1,800 animals across almost 300 different species. Many animals are enclosed in the same exhibits in an effort to stay true to how they would interact in the wild. One of the zoo's most recent enclosures is called Immersion. Here, visitors can seemingly walk through this jungle habitat with animals, like the Sumatran tiger and orangutans, at an arm's length.

Brighton Beach is a large, sandy beach with pretty deep water, making it great for ocean swimming and other summer activities. While usually quieter than Glenelg Beach to the north, there is always something to see and do around Brighton Beach’s old jetty. So, grab your togs and check it out.

Explore the University of Adelaide and its main campus, which contains many of Adelaide’s most beloved historic buildings. Stretching from North Terrace up to the River Torrens, the spacious university grounds are an interesting place to visit for historical landmarks and the buzz of the institution’s research and learning.
