The Beachouse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Beachouse (often capitalised as BeacHouse) is an amusement arcade located in the seaside resort of Glenelg in Adelaide, South Australia. It was built as a replacement to the former Magic Mountain, which was demolished in 2004. The complex opened in July 2006 as part of the final stage of the Holdfast Shores redevelopment.
