Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The pig sculptures are life sized and located in the pedestrian walking area of the Rundle Mall. They get quite a gathering from tourists as well as locals. No matter when we passed by there were always people waiting for their turn to take a photo.

These very cute sculptures in the middle of Rundle Mall put a smile on everyone's faces. The cheeky pigs were one of the first things we saw when entering the mall when recently visiting Adelaide. We loved them.

The Rundle Mall Pigs are bronze statues that are large items, they are a central exhibit in the middle of Rundle Mall, Adelaide's most prominent shopping area. They are very realistic, and they are seen as scavenging rubbish. The Mall Pigs are i interesting artistic creations that attract locals and visitors to Rundle Mall.

Four cute bronze pigs in Rundle Mall....I had memories of there being more from previous visits so was looking...but I must have been wrong! Just the four little piggies, all with individual name plaques and stories to tell. I think they're fun.

Yep. Pigs as the title says. Was walking the mall and saw them, but wasn’t aware they all had names as I couldn’t see a sign close by.
Kids were seen riding them with parents taking photos, so it’s abit of fun for everyone.

They were amusing to see, put a smile on our faces. They are there through hail, rain or shine. Made a mall walk for three days, one for shopping, two for viewing and three waiting for Blackebys to open

You can't walk past them without smiling and just wondering. They are a welcome sight in a busy place and are enjoyed by all ages. Especially kids, who love sitting on them and trying to look into the rubbish bin as well. Cute and looking happy, they are just fun.

The pigs in Rundle Mall add a touch of fun in the centre of Adelaide. I have visited Adelaide many times, starting when I was in primary school. I must say Adelaide, which had a reputation for being a bit buttoned down, is now a lot more fun

A cute and novel attraction in Rundle Mall, and a surprise when you first come across them. Apart from the fact they are bronze they do look real. Start a trend and rub their noses for luck!
