Top 10 Things to do and See at Christmas
Every year, we love celebrating the Christmas season with a visit to our favourite places to soak up the festive atmosphere. It’s lovely to wander Rundle Mall as a family to see the Christmas Window Displays and see all our favourite Christmas Light Displays.
Christmas Light Displays
One of our favourite family Christmas activities involves putting on our Oodies and wandering the streets around Adelaide to see all the beautiful twinkling Christmas lights that bring so much Christmas cheer to visitors. We’re so appreciative of all the effort people go to when they put on such spectacular displays. Find out where to find the Best Christmas Light Displays around Adelaide here.
Fun Family Christmas Events
We also love spending a day in the City of Adelaide which comes alive with Christmas displays, Christmas shows, markets and fun activities for families as part of Adelaide’s Christmas Festival. While you’re visiting, make sure you see the Giant Christmas Tree light display in Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga. We love grabbing our favourite takeaway in the city and watching the tree while we eat.
Christmas also wouldn’t be complete without a visit to see the iconic West End Brewery Christmas Lights or a trip to see Father Christmas at Santaland at Myer, or the Magic Cave at David Jones.
