Hi There, just thought I’d let you know that the carousel in Rundle Mall is not a free ride. I took my 2 little boys (aged 4 and almost 3) there yesterday, and they were so excited to get on the “horseys” that I couldn’t tell them no, even though I had to fork out $5 for each of them They had to go on by themselves, as I would have had to pay if i was going to sit down next to them!! Not very happy, especially as money is very tight this close to Christmas. Rundle Mall should adjust it’s advertising, as I couldn’t see anything about paying for this ride on their website, either! And to top it all off, the girl in the ticket box was rude so-and-so!! Kathy
Hi Kathy
Thanks for letting us know. I agree, $5 per ride seems a lot to fork out when shopping in the mall (especially as the rides at the Magic Cave & Myer Santaland are free). Their other rides at other times eg the plane ride after the Christmas Pageant, have been free, so I can understand people expecting that the carousel would also be free. We have updated the post on our website to include the cost.
Thanks for your continued support of Play & Go. Have a fabulous Christmas and Happy New Year!
Cheers

Can I please clarify if the kids activity centre is still available today, being Friday 21st, as I note the end date states til Friday 20th, so not sure if the day or date is incorrect. Thanks
Hi Jess
Thanks for bringing that to our attention. We were given that information from Rundle Mall and didn’t notice the error. I have just checked their website and in the detailed area it states that the activity centre is until Thursday 20 December. http://www.rundlemall.com/news-and-events/Rundle-Mall-EVENTS-CALENDAR-for-Christmas-2012.shtml
