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.

- Happy TravellerSydney, Australia9,149 contributionsI’ve been to Adelaide before but have never been to the markets because generally I head to the wineries. But this time I visited during a trip on the Indian Pacific from Perth to Sydney . and this was one of our stops.
I don’t know why I haven’t visited before. It’s not huge but it has everything that you need. Beautiful fruit and vegetables and lots of produce of other kinds as well but also different types of goods to buy. , great for presents. Too many chocolate and sweet stores for my liking because I bought them all and now I’ve put on weight..😂. But seriously, it’s a lovely place and we had a lovely breakfast there as well.. so next time you’re in town try it outWritten 19 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The only aspect we found disappointing was some of the Australian dry gardens were poorly maintained and some of the plantings were struggling or dead.Written 9 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- akitong91London, UK126 contributionsGreat for the kids. There's a large collection from Australia and the world. I particularly enjoyed the Biodiversity Gallery. Note that access to the higher levels are through one (large) elevator. So be prepared to wait if you enter at a busy time.Written 6 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- akitong91London, UK126 contributionsEach section of the gallery offers a unique blend of past and present artists.

- mahatinuSurrey276 contributionsThis is free to visit. Make sure you get to the Mortlock wing of this working library.
There's a small cafe on the bottom floor of the library where you can stop for a lunch break.Written 13 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But each tasting is paid for separately, and the cost mounts up very quickly. We had a nice, tasty lunch there, spoiled slightly by poor quality bread. To my mind, a one-off experience.Written 13 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,734 contributionsThe 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.Written 30 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
