CHADSTONE REVIEWS

After exploring the variety of shops, I decided to try Nene Chicken for lunch. The fried chicken was crispy, flavorful, and satisfying – a perfect refuel during a busy shopping day. The food court was bustling but had a lively vibe, and the overall ambiance of the mall was modern and inviting. Chadstone truly lives up to its name as "The Fashion Capital," offering something for every shopper.

Wear comfortable shoes because you will need them. It is like a mini city. You need 2 to 3 days to fully explore the whole thing, it is massive. I loved the ambiance. Visit on a weekday because the weekend is crazy.

The largest in Australia. Very huge 2 floored shopping centre. Where particularly appreciative is the parking management. No delays in parking traffic. It's hard to find help in the mall. Other than that, it's perfect. You can find almost all the brands here!

MELBOURNE CENTRAL REVIEWS

A place where i have spent a lot of time exploring while P is busy. Very good location ~ easy access after get down from Tram and it is right opposite of State Library. I got my MyKi Pass here, did grocery shopping in Coles, bought some cute little stuff from stores and personally i like the Between & Secret Garden space and the cute musical clock!

Melbourne CBD pictures during our Melbourne vacation during the winter. We love to see both old and modern buildings co-existing perfectly together. It is vital to have old buildings preserved to hold some sense of history of its original nostalgic state reminding people what they were used to be.

Melbourne Central is a bustling shopping and entertainment hub, featuring a diverse range of retail stores, dining options, and a unique architectural design. The iconic shot tower and glass dome add a historical charm to the modern complex. It's an ideal spot for shopping, dining, and soaking up the lively urban atmosphere.

EMPORIUM MELBOURNE REVIEWS

Modern shopping mall with branded stuff. You can find anything upon your request but little bit expensive and good quality. Even can find restaurants also to relax after doing shopping. Always crowded.

Amazing parent and child room! Spacious with three private nursing rooms. Access to a parent and child toilet, microwave, two sinks and a cosy area for nappy change. Loved it!

Wonderful mall, where you can find world class brands under one roof. Also wide variety of food in a food court.
