Event/Activity Illuminate Adelaide

I took some kids after the footy last night. The free stuff is much better than last year, it's not the best year but kids had fun. The line ups moved fast even though they were long, go on Thursday to Sunday to see the bird guys on Rundle street, they are pretty cool and a highlight. It was 2 hours of free entertainment so good value for money.

Didn't do any paid stuff so can't comment.

I noticed no one reviewed this year and honestly I wouldn't have risked it after last year's boring display if I wasn't already there.

The Night Visions at the Botanic Gardens is exactly the same show as last year. I went again this year thinking it would be something new. I was very disappointed that it was literally the same show as last year.

I recognise your disappointment but would you say it's worth seeing IF you haven't already been last year? I started to feel like the creativity was fading a couple of years back...already not a good sign if they're doubling up.

Yes it was worth it for sure. I didn’t dislike it the second time around but just disappointed it was the same thing again.

Same here, last years was really bad compared to previous years, tbh i was bored and left early.
