Where can families enjoy a day out in Langhorne Creek?
Family-Friendly Adventures in Langhorne Creek
Langhorne Creek is more than just a haven for wine lovers. It's packed with down-to-earth, family-friendly spots that make for a perfect day out. Whether your crew enjoys a bit of history, loves being surrounded by nature, or just wants to kick back with some good food and wide-open spaces, there’s something here for everyone.
Frank Potts Reserve – Nature, Picnic Spots, and Adventure
If your family needs a break from the hustle and bustle, Frank Potts Reserve is the ideal reset button. Tucked away near the Bremer River, this lush spot offers plenty of shade, wide-open spaces, and a few friendly ducks that might even waddle up to say hello.
It's a great location for a classic family picnic. Pack your favourite goodies, spread out a picnic rug, and let the kids run wild while you enjoy some well-earned relaxation. If you have little adventurers in your group, they’ll love exploring the natural surroundings or riding their bikes along the flat, easygoing paths.
For families who love camping, this is the only officially approved campsite in the area. Set up your tent or park your motorhome and enjoy a night under the stars, complete with toasted marshmallows and campfire stories.
Bleasdale Vineyards – A Slice of History with a Side of Family Fun
A winery with kids? Yes! Bleasdale Vineyards is not just about the wine (although the adults will definitely appreciate it). This historic winery has been around since 1850, and among its treasures is a giant wooden wine press that’s been in use since 1892. Kids will love checking out the impressive machinery and hearing stories of how winemakers back in the day did things without modern equipment.
While the grown-ups soak up some local history and enjoy a wine tasting, kids can keep busy with colouring-in activities and a roam around the vineyard’s charming surrounds. If you bring a picnic, the outdoor areas are free to use, making it an easy and relaxed outing for the whole family.
General Store and Sweet Treats
After all that exploring, it's time to refuel. Stop by the General Store in Langhorne Creek serve up homemade treats, hearty meals, and coffee that’s worth writing home about. Some even have kids’ menus and outdoor seating, so everyone can unwind without feeling cooped up.
For an extra sweet touch, keep an eye out for the farm stalls offering fresh produce. Nothing beats indulging in a fresh pastry or a jar of homemade jam to take home as a little reminder of the day.
The Perfect Family Day Out
Langhorne Creek is packed with activities that bring together nature, history, and good food. Whether you’re camping at Frank Potts Reserve, exploring the past at Bleasdale Vineyards, or simply enjoying a laid-back meal, it’s a day out that promises plenty of stories to tell on the drive home.
