Beat the heat in Rundle Mall

Rundle Mall is open all year long, through rain, hail, or shine - and sometimes, especially shine! But don't worry, just because the mercury might be rising, it doesn't mean you have to abandon your shopping plans.

There's many ways to beat the heat in Rundle Mall!

Shop later! When the heat peaks in the middle of the day, reschedule your shopping spree plans and make use of the extended trading hours for Festival Season. With shops open 'til 6pm*, you'll have the perfect opportunity to stay cool, and still enjoy your plans!

Take refuge in the beautifully refreshing air conditioning inside our 700+ stores (the aircon is on!), or take a break at one of the Precinct's many dining destinations, where you can stop and enjoy a cool drink, and escape the warmth of the outdoors. If you're planning your journey, don't forget that you can pre-book a car park in one of the 5,000+ parking spaces online, and also save some dollars while you're there too, with many car parks offering a discount for these options.

If you're heading to the Mall on a particularly warm day, don't forget to always slip, slop, slap! Ensure you're prepared with a hat, sunscreen, and a reusable water bottle - you can find water fountains throughout the Mall to make sure that you stay well hydrated.

And if you forget any of these things - at least you're in the right spot for a restock!
