Mall's Balls

The Rundle Mall Spheres — affectionately known to all as the 'Mall's Balls' — sit in the heart of Rundle Mall, Adelaide's famous pedestrian shopping street in the CBD. One of the city's best-loved landmarks, this iconic stainless-steel sculpture has been a cherished meeting point and photo spot for decades, a genuine symbol of Adelaide right in the middle of the bustling mall.

The appeal is that combination of a beloved piece of public art and its role as the city's classic meeting place: 'meet you at the Balls' is part of Adelaide vernacular, and the gleaming spheres make for a fun photo and a natural landmark while shopping. Set among Rundle Mall's shops, cafes and street performers, it's a quintessential part of any visit to the city centre.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,200 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved Adelaide icon. The sculpture is free and always there in the open mall, with Rundle Mall's shopping, dining and entertainment all around, so there's nothing to book — though it's worth checking mall trading hours and any events if you're planning a shopping trip, then snapping the obligatory photo at the Mall's Balls.
