Explore festive delights in the Arcade
Christmas has well and truly arrived in Adelaide Arcade! Explore their magical display of decorations, with the Arcade swathed in an array of traditionally hued baubles, hanging garlands, and twinkling trees. Don't forget to look up too! Red and white hot air balloons transport presents to their lucky recipients, whilst the toy soldiers herald the arrival of visitors at the Mall entrance.

If you're visiting with little ones, pick up a free brochure to follow a very festive Christmas trail - and stop by the gingerbread house photo moment (and tag @adelaidearcade!).
