Fun Free Christmas Activities in Adelaide Arcade

If you are looking for some fun, festive and FREE activities that the whole family can enjoy, take a look around Adelaide Arcade.

Everyone looks forward to when the Adelaide Arcade Christmas decorations go up, and each year they don’t disappoint.  The giant twinkling Christmas trees and hanging garlands adorned in traditional red, green and gold baubles along with everyone’s favourite Santa figure who has been part of Adelaide Arcade’s Christmas display for over twenty years set the scene for a magical Christmas.

Make sure you look up and take in the red and white hot air balloons floating through the Arcade delivering gifts. Have you spotted their giant red present box on the outside Grenfell Street end balcony? It lights up at night time too!
