A really nice spot in Melbourne that for some reason hasn't flourished over the years. What a total shame! The straw that broke the camels back was the cease of operation of the Melbourne eye wheel.... Walking around in the District Dockland you feel there is something very wrong here.... Very few people on a Friday mid-morning. A feeling of "deserted" in the air. Almost eerie...Shops that are not really welcoming (some exceptions) and many shops empty, waiting for a business tenant... The talk is that rents are so high that vendors cannot consider coming there and the current ones really struggling to stay afloat.... What are these property developers thinking??? A business needs to be sustainable. With proper marketing DD could be full of people, but it isn't! I guess the only thing that really brings people there is the next-door Costco... DD is a very promising area for retail, if owners/developers had some reasonable thinking...

I liked the Docklands. The shopping mall includes all the best shops and many popular brands. I advise you to try and visit this beautiful mall. It is good and clean everywhere. There is Melbourne Star. We rode it two times. Really we enjoyed this Beautiful and amazing place in Melbourne.

The District Docklands is pretty decent, it can be quiet at times but it has some really decent places to get food, equipped with supermarket bottle shop butchers and a few different well known fast food places, you aren't going to go hungry! This isn't a bad place to bring the kids either as there is a few different ways to keep them entertained. There is a EB Games and several different shoe shops as well as clothing stores as well, if you are in the area you should definitely stop for a look!👍🏼🎡⏳️

Beautiful place for a walk or to have some place to sit back and relax. View is breathtaking and peaceful

A close but no cigar. It looks the part; very similar (or even a carbon copy you might say) to Pacific Fair Shopping Mall in Broadbeach in that it’s a mix of indoor/outdoor shopping experience. When I came it seemed that the only store that was receiving a lot of foot traffic was Costco; the rest of the shops were sadly & eerily quiet. The biggest disappointment about this place is that besides the indoor/outdoor concept, there’s nothing here that stands out. Every store here is done better somewhere else. It’s not easy to get to, they really should just give away free parking to entice customers and lastly the atmosphere and overall vibe is dead.

Lovely clean area with great shopping and hospitality bars and restaurants.

Quite nice kind of shopping centre, not yet all shops reopened.

I remember visiting this shopping precinct years ago & it was buzzing, now sadly it is in slow decline. Shops are vacant & everywhere is quiet, such a shame

This is a pretty decent size mall in the Docklands area. There are few useful and good shops such as H&M, Uni qlo, Sketchers and few more. The food scene is pretty good too with a nice brewery, Thai restaurant, ice cream place, Nando's, KFC, an Indian restaurant, a few more cafes, etc. The crowd is pretty less on weekdays. Probably, it should have a good anchor store such as Kmart, Target, and Big W to bring more crowds and better business for restaurants here.

Really great view, leave plenty of time because it takes ages to get on "the flight" The commentary had my whole family cringing, At one point they made a joke on the p.a. about his sunglasses going missing, and they were on his head the whole time, just stuff that was really annoying to listen to. I would still go here since it is a pinpoint location to check off the list in Melbourne.

Decent and slowly getting more lively over the years. Enough entertainment and food to keep you occupied for hours, however not worth a trip if you live across the city. Great for if you're visiting from out of town though as it's conveniently located, not as busy, and the cheapest parking in the city. Clean and safe too, best for families but appropriate for all ages, especially if you're catching a movie.

How disappointing - this used to be one of my favourite places to go shopping in Melbourne. But most of the shops are closed and empty. There are still a lot of restaurants and a cinema. Had a screen for the Australian Open. But other than that...

Great shopping location, plenty of parking, with a large Costco store nearby.

Before Covid the vibe of this place was so fabulous. Was always crowded and was good to see lot of shops around. Now the place looks cold, sad and very quiet. I wish the same happy energy comes back to this place. Also would be amazing if the Melbourne star starts back too.

We went there for the 1st time last Sunday and Went to the Movie theatre…. Omg!!!! I Love this place, I even Went down stairs to a Little Shop and Had a Photo of My Eyes by a Nice feel called Stuart, who’s making me A Spectacular pair of Earrings…. I can’t wait till I get them in the Post. I highly recommend Anyone to go there, Amazing Place, Family Day Out, friendly Atmosphere staff at the Cinema we’re so Nice.

Mothers Day ride down the Yarra and out on the bay Lovely meals. Wonderful day.

Nice place with plenty to do. Lots of fantastic family activities, some free and some paid. Be warned that most of the shops etc don't open until 11am. Plenty of variety of places to eat, shop and play.

Good collection of stores. It's spacious, clean and rarely busy.

Fun and happening place. Lots of places to eat and people watch.

It has changed since my last visit a few years ago. Unfortunately the wheel does not function any longer , it was closed after covid or during covid. U went on it day and a night time. Parking is free if you stay 90min. It has a wollies and many more shops where the old car park was situated.

Best shopping Place to go.. Great food options,close to public transport. Great Brands with affordable ranges. Adjacent to COSTCO & MELBOURNE WHEEL. Huge Parking space.

Before going here I checked the map to ensure there were parents rooms. Parents room closed and no information on how to access the any other ones, one elevator working to get the the car and had to wait an extended period of time with pram and baby to get back to the car, and toilets were disgusting and poorly maintained, half the shops on the website where not opened or non existent. Don’t waste your time.

So much to do here. The best place to eat, drink, watch movies of for entertainment. Our favourite cinema is here with reclining seats. Always very clean and safe- my favourite place so visit!!

Just take a leisurely stroll in this mall. Too many good stores, deals and good places to eat. Good places for entertainment as well. Looking for a nice place to have parties with your friends, try Urban Alley Brewery. You can also enjoy taking pics of Melbourne eye which is out of service, unfortunately.

I recently visited the district docklands in Melbourne and was blown away by the variety and quality of the food options. As a lover of all things "food", I was impressed by the number of plant-based options available, including vegan and gluten-free choices. The atmosphere was bustling and lively, with plenty of seating areas to relax and enjoy your meal. I tried the fish burger and it was absolutely delicious - fresh, flavourful, and packed with nutritious ingredients. The service was also top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure my dining experience was excellent. Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a convenient and satisfying dining experience while visiting Melbourne. It's a great option for families, solo diners, or groups, and offers something for everyone. Can't wait to come back!

What an underwhelming precinct. It's either pop up vibe with no traffic or holiday specific and expensive. There is def something for everyone, but it seems so pointless or most things closed and shutdown. So much potential and yet nothing but melting wheels and hidden gems (often very hidden).

Great place to spend a weekend day shopping, eating and doing some fun activities lole mini golf and movies with the family

What an amazing place with something for everyone! Great food, entertainment and varied shops

Enjoyed it alot spur-of-the-moment decision it was a bit of a wait to get in but once in quite good would recommend if you're down at the Docklands and have some spare time dropping..

Love this place, to walk around, do shopping, have something to eat.

Nice set up and clean facilities. My favourite is the ice cream 🍦😂👏

This place has so much potential. Many closed shops and the wheel being shut down has not helped. It needs a renewal after lockdowns and needs to try to tap into the footy crowds a bit better. Eateries here are all pretty good.

Urban Alley Brewery. A great place for a meal and drink. Excellent food. Fantastic staff, always friendly, nothing too much.

I love this place, bit right now it's all but closed except for Woolworths. Great place to shoot a film or tick-tock video while no one's around.

I love coming here, mostly because it is outdoors and airy. It's a nice place to stroll around, they don't have many clothing stores though. There are nice places to eat and I love the Hoyts there and nice to hang about if you have a Costco membership. It would attract more crowds if the spaces on the top levels were rented out or the area was marketed better. Parking is generally $10 on weekends or after 5pm but if you go to the movies or spend over a certain amount you can park for $5.

Clean and huge variety of stores Great shopping venue, nice open areas with plants and the roof covering Cleam amenities Easy to locate stores Very quiet at 5pm on Wednesday

Beautiful peaceful shopping mall with many different shops and art. A lot of plants and trees, good design with transparent roof allow the place to be very bright during sunny days especially. It's a pity Melbourne star is shut though... Hopefully will open again!

Most of the time so quiet you're surprised the stores are actually open. And mostly they are. Nice enough blended indoor/outdoor architecture, some vacant properties but some well-known brands present and open too. Good if you don't want a busy shopping experience.

Good spot although the toilets on the ground floor are closed which was not very handy, you have to go upstairs. Plenty of variety in clothing etc shops, as well as different food and entertainment options. It is kept clean and is pleasant for a days occupation.

Good selection of shops and places to eat. Good views all round. Took # 70 bus. Giant wheel not in action and a few empty shop premises.

I have so many memories here! I miss the old Harbour Town when it was busy, and people actually used to go full on shopping. I guess, a lot has changed after the pandemic. The pandemic literally killed the Melbourne vibe in general, but there was something so special about the old Harbour Town. It was open, lively and fun!

A great place to spend a day with multiple options for food, entertainment for locals as well as tourists. Be sure to check our Archie Brothers and the Melbourne Star. Kids friendly.

There is no real reason why this place shouldn't be thriving. But it isn't. It is barely functioning with more places closed than open. More businesses or "experiences" than shops.. and even with what is there, there were no specialty shops worth visiting, no sales or outlets (besides HYPE DC - grabbed major bargains on our visit). The interactive centre maps show a bunch of retailers still in tenancy who, when you navigate the unclear directions to, are closed up and long gone. We visited on a Saturday, and the most people we saw were parents and kids racing through, clutching a gift looking desperately for birthday parties being held at the ice skating or arcade. A handful of acceptable food options are in residence serving up essentially the workers from other shops or the odd person wandering through. KFC has these obnoxious ultrasonic bird deterrents running but, which to my husband sounded just like a clicking noise but to me were so high pitched and irritated my inner ear to the point we had to leave the area. Upstairs, you have a Hoyts alongside more restaurants. Dead pigeons are laying across the walkway to the Star, which, while I know has been closed for two years, has zero indication of that on it. Just a closed gate, no signage, etc. There is no shopping upstairs, besides the second level of H&M. Scattered random businesses or weird start-up places, a childcare, children's play cafe.. Nothing that is worth visiting as an interstate tourist. The rolling attractions trying to fill the voids downstairs are mediocre. Chaos Lab was okay, but when the best part for $60 is a ball-pit, you know it has been subpar. We didn't bother with Imaginator after people leaving told us how lame and boring it was. The last time I visited, it was Harbour Town, and I knew it no longer was one and that life post pandemic was different. I wasn't expecting this, but. I hope it turns the corner and thrives somehow but it is something for now you can cross off your list as a must do.

This is a very well located Shopping Center, with Restaurants running until late night. Best suited near CBD to park your car and walk up to Docklands Pier. Look at Melbourne Star, Visit Artvo, Eat out and so lots of shopping Best Part: Car Park Few steps to Free tram to CBD Souvenir shops TT tables Play area Improvement Area: Public toilet can be cleaner TT tables are there but no 🏓 bat balls Overall good place for shopping and parking for people who don't wanna drive and Shop in busy areas Must Go

Fun time. Always something to do. Especially now with the Friends exhibit.

Not too much to do, very quiet during the day. It looked like it was once a great place, not so much today.

Beautiful space, nice view, special in sunset.

Epic shopping hub in a super convenient spot. Bonus points for the F.R.I.E.N.D.S experience. 😄

Cool shopping centre that is abit tucked away. Not busy so great place to just come and hang out with some friends and has cool hidden activities such as the arcade of zero latency to try!! As well as some nice food spots

We love the Docklands, easy parking, always great things happening there for the kids. Just a bit empty in terms of shopping. But we love it as it’s a relaxed and open atmosphere. I love the indoor plants and games. It’s a fun place.

It's quite

Really beautiful with lots to do and eat

A decent mall with the Melbourne star placed inside it. Great stores inside and food places like nandos and others. Great for people living in docklands suburb. Has got cycle shops, clothing. Costco wholesale and woollies too.

Lots of eating places and lovely shops

Perfect place to shop, eat and spend time.

Great set shops and good food

Pretty good but pretty dead lol

Not many shops open

4.5 stars They have a variety of different clothing shops. Posh place to visit if you’re in Melbourne City. They don’t really have a variety of different types shops tho. They have a KFC and ice cream place. They have a lot of shoe shops and there’s a chocolate shop. Recommend coming here if you’re doing well financially and need some good quality clothes.

Perfect to go there during covid. No people, nice background music and food stores are still open. Also includes a very good fruit and veg supermarket

(Translated by Google) Nice place I was and bought a dress (Original) Bonito lugar estuve y compré un vestido

There is a large selection of shopping stores and restaurants to choose from, including a cinema , ice skating rink and park. Just keep in mind the restaurants here are usually more pricey compared to those at the Melbourne CBD

Love shopping here.....i think they can do with an up grade of shops.. beautiful here on a summers day..

Definitely underrated. If only they had free 3-hour parking.

Good experience. They got out booking mixed up with another customer which forced us to wait for about 20 mins. They did bring it back tho so was happy.

Very very quiet its worth going, free parking

Good place to hang out as it has wide range of shopping outlets, Melbourne observation star which is an attraction to try , Costco is an amazing place to shop if your are planning to get things in bulk amount at better price ( need memberships). This place also host some live music events and other events for children. Has got a good food court. Nice place to hang out. Easy to get parking space.

Looks to be good selection of shops but many were still not open. Will go back perhaps on weekend when more shops should y open.

Nice ambiences. Many branded stores of food & shoes-clothing. There is huge supermarket as well. Easy to get parking since the open parking lot is exactly beside the mall. Enjoy the open space that we can sit & relax.

Hi really nice clean shopping centre the staff in Safeway are just amazingly helpful n , kind.....great shopping at the district

Well, it is quite tidy and clean without benches. there are lots of food courts and shopping spots However, there are not variety of stock. If I were you, I would be been to DFO more than this spot to shop.

Best shopping place in Melbourne after DFO and Bourke street. Very silent and happening Good place to visit with family.

realy enjoy this centre. started with a quick light lunch at china bar, checked out the butcher club, Priceline type chemist then Woolworths..always friendly staff...easy parking too!

All come here to shop. One stop shopping with entertainment for kids. We spent the whole day here it was great. Give the docklands a go. It's very convenient with kids. Parking, food and shopping

This place is really gorgeous..and you xan find all brands at a single place

nice area for food , shopping and view of the city.

Was great when it had a fruit and vegetables shop, definitely feel for the vendors due to lack of people. Hopefully it gets better soon.

Awesome store team, great variety and range. Agha the store manager is ace..... SB

Came here for carls jr. Good burgers. A little pricey.

Very quiet on the weekends but there is always something on and great food too

A lovely place, with lots of outlets

Most shops are closed or having a closing sale. Very windy. Avoid this mall unless you have buisness here. This is not a place to shop at all. There is not many people about and the ferris wheel does not have many customers.

Fun day out

Not all shops open

Nice & clean especially during lockdown period 👍

Good range of shops but still waiting for covid 19 to settle as the food area is usually buzzing.

Great location for a shop. Plenty of parking. Some really great food options here as well, boutique supermarkets and cafes.

Heaps of potential but the open to the environment is a massive failure especially in colder months. Needs a redesign to attract shoppers in winter

Very big shopping mall with lots of varieties of clothes

Interesting

Lovely place

Very good place for shopping, fun for kids, good restaurants and cafes.

Feels like Darling Harbour in Sydney

Very consumer friendly
