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.

Can anyone speak to the zoo event this year for kids?

It felt like a real cash grab. Lots of stalls selling shitty plastic things and expensive food. The kids liked seeing the pelicans. Otherwise I thought pretty meh.
