Why it's worth checking out
The District Docklands sits on Docklands Drive at Docklands, on the western edge of Melbourne's CBD by the harbour. A large retail-and-entertainment precinct, it's a popular destination — bringing together outlet and brand shopping, dining, a cinema and entertainment in one spot, all in a waterfront location near the harbour, the kind of all-in-one precinct that's great for a day out.
The appeal is that combination of shopping, dining and entertainment and a convenient waterfront Docklands location, ideal for a shopping trip, a meal, a movie or a family outing, with the harbour and the precinct's attractions right there. Its mix of retail, dining and entertainment makes it a handy all-rounder close to the city.
With a 4.2 rating from more than 10,000 reviews, it's clearly a well-used destination. The retailers, dining, cinema, entertainment, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details if you're after something specific — though for some shopping, a meal, a movie or a day out by the water, you can simply head to the District Docklands.
