The Best Christmas Lights Displays in Adelaide for 2021
Ah yes, it’s that time of year again.. school finishing up.. holidays nearing.. the mad Christmas rush at the shops has begun. No, it’s not long ’till Christmas and you almost can’t drive anywhere in the neighbourhood at night without the little ones excitedly pointing out some Christmas lights.
The ritual of Adelaiders’ proudly decorating their homes with stunning displays of lights and Christmas scenes just has to be seen and appreciated. Once the sun goes down, our suburban streets are transformed into magical wonderlands. Checking out Adelaide’s Christmas Lights is a fantastic outing for your kids. The warm weather, the longer nights and the excitement of Christmas drawing near means going on a Christmas light adventure is one of the ultimate pre-Christmas family activities.
Watch their little faces light up in excitement as they feel the magic of Christmas.

What new Mum on the planet has a use for tree sap? But I digress, back to the show ground. Honestly we LOVE this epic event, our kids go nuts for it and the current season is no exception. Set in the much roomier 'Jubes Pav' this year (that's the Jubilee Pavilion, not some cake/pavlova hybrid that Amanda Blair baked up when the Adelaide Show cancelled). You'll need to know this because entry is via the Kidman Gates off Greenhill Rd, not Goodwood Road like previous years. BUY TICKETS HERE As always, tickets include a three hour session with unlimited rides, ice skating, tobogganing and an exciting activity trail that includes a heap of cute Christmas themed 'selfie stops'. Throw in some roving entertainers and a couple of all new stage shows for the win.
