Taking my family shopping is like leading an expedition through the wild…
It has excitement, unexpected detours and the obligatory need for emergency snacks. The Myer Centre Adelaide has all of this in a glorious, multi-level wonderland where parents can actually get things done while the kids will think they’re on the greatest adventure of their lives!
Level up!
Level 1 and 2 in Myer are a shoppinglover’s happy place. You can browse and if you’re like me, conveniently lose your family between rack after rack of all the big brand clothing labels. From Kenji, Blaq and American Eagle, to Country Road, Sass & Bide and Acler, there’s no shortage of style for the whole family.
Skibadee
Alright, if you have kids at the age where looking cool and using slang like ‘skibadee’ is a full-time job, then Da Klinic might just be the Holy Grail of cool. Sneakers, skate gear and all things streetwear — my boys Alfie (10) and Austin (13) could spend hours here picking out the freshest kicks and tees. It’s the perfect spot for that tricky in-between age, where they’re not little boys anymore, but they’re not quite young men either. Then, there’s USG Store, where you can pretend you’re helping your other half pick out a few bits and bobs, but conveniently get lost in the huge range of retro Adidas sneakers and walk out wearing them instead. If they are more into the classic, labelfree staples, then UNIQLO is an absolute must. Simple tees and those famous lightweight jackets in loads of different colours… the reasons why the line snaked all the way down Rundle Mall on the day UNIQLO opened! I always say I’m just shopping for my husband, Jimmy, but somehow, I leave armed with bags of clothes and accessories better suited to me — whatcha gonna do, Jimmy?
Beyond fashion
The Myer Centre isn’t just about shopping; it’s packed with entertainment, too!
Pop Frenzy — Because no shopping trip is complete without your kids trying to convince you that they need the latest collectible pop figures or surprise boxes.
Toyworld— My son, Alfie, may be 10, but if there’s LEGO involved, we’re stopping to see what he doesn’t already have. No questions asked.
Da Klinic — Hot tip: their indoor skate ramp is the ultimate bargaining tool! If your kids behave while you sneak off for a 30-minute foot massage at Massage & Bodywork, they earn some time on the ramp
And let’s not forget the food. Whether it’s a quick refuel at the food court, bubble tea in hand, or a sneaky sushi roll, there are plenty of options to keep everyone happy!
Final verdict
Family shopping nailed. If you’re looking for a stress-free (or at least stressreduced) shopping day with the family, Myer Centre Adelaide has everything — fashion, food, entertainment and enough distractions to keep everyone happy. Plus, it’s smack bang in the middle of the city, so you can easily pop in before a day of exploring our gorgeous CBD.
