What Makes the Royal Adelaide Show Unmissable?
The Royal Adelaide Show is a big hit for families, offering a mix of fun and tradition that everyone can enjoy. From thrilling rides to tasty food, there’s something for all ages. Kids love the animal exhibits, where they can see everything from farm animals to cute pets up close.

For those who love a good thrill, the rides are where it’s at. Try out the Mega Drop, a 40-metre freefall that will leave your heart racing, or take a spin on the Ghost Train for a spooky adventure.

New Thrilling Rides
There are two pretty amazing new rides this year we want to shout about!
First up, THE JOKER! this one is for the adrenaline junkies! The Joker is the looping sensation providing the ultimate thrill. Swinging 24 metres over the crowds, the full 360-degree revolution pulls 4.5G’s of negative force. With two more rotating movements, there is nothing else like it.
Next up, BEACH PARTY! Catch a wave on the Beach Party! The smooth lifting and rotating movements carry riders 6m high into the air in free-spinning cars and carriages for a totally awesome ride. This is a great ride for every member of the family to ride together!
