Logistics Events - River Rink Fed Square Reviews

A lovely place to visit for 30 seconds, taking in the unique architecture of the building surrounds, but then go on with your life. There's literally nothing to do here at all - sure, if someone was performing on the stage it would be good, but outside of that it;s just a big empty park with a museum that's closed for renovation (and sounds quite boring) and a cafe that's only open for about 2 hours every other day. Walk in, walk out, and do nothing more.

One of the tourist spots in Melbourne. Great holiday vibe going on for Christmas.

Amazing place to enjoy and relax as lot of cultural and group activities go on here. People come from different origins and cultural background and celebrate together.

One of the icons in Melbourne nowadays I reckon. Just opposite the flinders Street station. The location is perfect for any day meeting point. Close to anywhere and you can get trams to just on the main intersection.

It's THE place to visit when in Melbourne. You can walk around 2km circle around this place and see the best of architecture, major attractions, scenic view.

Great hangouts at acmi, good Japanese food at the chocolate Buddha

Go here on Grand Final day! So many people, so much joy for Footy

Melbourne Writers Festival at Deakin Edge. Wonderful to hear Tracy Chevalier and Hannah Kent discuss their work. The only faults were that the wooden seats were very hard, and although the glass permits wonderful views, it was also makes this venue very hot. I wouldn't want to be present at a function during summer

Just across the street from the Central Railway Station, a very beautiful square with beautiful night views.

Federation Square is a venue for arts, culture and public events on the edge of the CBD of Melbourne. It built above busy railway lines and across the road from Flinders Street station. It incorporates major cultural institutions such as the Ian Potter Centre and ACMI and Koorie Heritage Trust as well as cafes and bars in a series of buildings centred around a large paved square, and a glass walled atrium. The corner is occupied by a glass walled pavilion that provides access to the underground Melbourne Visitor Centre.
A great place to spend an afternoon with friends and family.

The place has a great vibe !
The architecture is so amazing !
I always go to federation square whenever I visit Melbourne.. it's a place to relax .. have a friendly chat .. coffee .. food ...
It's got a diversity with which you can relate to !
I just love the place

A classic Melbourne location, great during sports competitions that play on the big screen, or during any fun or important cultural time.

Very interesting Square where some birds had made it their home. Here children can chase the birds and climb up the sculpture.

Lucky I got a super sonic Jet Plane & Helicopter Gets me from PERTH to Melb in minute

A lot of nice restaurants and places to visit, quiet despite being right next to the city and trams

This square is home to major cultural attractions, world-class events, tourism experiences and is filled with an array of restaurants, bars and specialty stores, Federation Square is Melbourne's meeting place - a local hang-out and one of Victoria's most popular tourist attractions. receives an average of eight million visits each year. So if you want to make friends hang out here.

A vibrant public space next to the train station. Easy to reach by tram as well. A dazzling display of color and geometry.

Great for photographers. Casual stroll through. Lovely architecture and designs. Guide information too.

Always something to do here.
check out the free ACMI exhibitions or just wander around Fed Square, there's a big TV screen there that often shows some cool movies and there are deck chairs provided. If there's a special event on like watching a sports game get there early because it fills up fast! The bar is also really great.
Only bad bit is how uneven the surface is - there are inclines and its almost like cobblestone paving, so be careful!

Visited the square in first week of December.Was well decorated and decked up for Christmas.Its close to Flinder street station and on the banks of Yarra river.It was a weekend and with Christmas round the corner it was packed with families and kids.Lot of activities for kids were on and they were having a blast

Not worth the money..it was hyped up as best food but actually had better at Tokyo Tina plus they got rid of us so fast didnt see the after hours bar let alone finish my $20 drink..Not worth what I paid

Butt ugly though good place to meet and usually has some cool stuff to see and do

Amazing place to enjoy and relax as lot of cultural and group activities go on here. People come from different origins and cultural background and celebrate together. On few occasions, public screenplay for footy matches would be displayed.

Great place to sit and relax and people watch. There was a very nice art gallery in the area. There are nice comfortable chairs everywhere.

Cool place, nice restaurants and always something interesting on.

It's a nice place just near the train station. You can stroll and see beautiful buildings around, the city circle tram and busy shoppers. Best thing is that you can get all tourist information there at their Info centre at the square.

Another exciting for kids is that it has live camera with a huge screen where you can see you self live...we saw that event in the evening. You can check the time.

On the side of the Flinder Street station, it is suitable for leisure and rest. It is surrounded by tourist attractions and beautiful buildings, as well as some cafes and wineries.

Superb location adjacent to Flinder Street Station and very nice public space to rest, relax or meet. Surrounded by many attractions and awesome architectures, with a number of nice cafes and beer garden.

good energy and meeting place in the heart of the melbourne

Good location. Many people come here to do special activity.

Nice to have a walk and see all the buildings , doesn't worth coming only for it, but if you are close by.

It's the world record holder for the ugliest group of buildings! BUT it's a fantastic place to hang out. With entertainment and great food its a great meeting place for pretty much anyone

There is lots going on in the Square. Train station, galleries to get too little shops to visit and small restaurants and cafes, plus the water front. Grab a coffee or wine and watch the world go by or arrange to meet friends there. Good place to start your Melbourne visit.

Nice place to visit when you got nothing to do in the city. See the street performers on weekends, and check out for their events that happens here.

Where freedom to roam and be at pleasure with WiFi is at!

I like the people watching and convenient connection to WiFi!

Great place to relax and just chill.

The whole place has always felt quite political. Detention centres and human rights when it opened. Now immigration and the feminist movement

Lovely location that always evokes sweet memories. The place to be!

A wonderful day nice to relax and drink really nice coffee.

Cool space but crowded. Be sure to check out the hidden bars/coffee spots.

There are various exhibition spaces related to art, and the free area is large.
There is also an event every weekend

This is a great place for spending time. A touristy place, there are so many free events and street performers that one can't be bored.

Pretty architecture but all restaurants are overpriced and have awful service.

The artistic design choice makes it formidable and astonishingly beautiful. It has definitely accomplished a grounded design, with no negative qualities. The abstract exterior makes it all-the-more admiring. I have not been so satisfied in my life to see a structure. I wish for Melbourne to proceed its artistic abilities.

The square is across the road from Flinders Street Station's main entrance. After heading up a set of shallow stone stairs, you end up in the large plaza, which included a stage. I was there when it was empty and was able to look at the design on the floor. There were really interesting looking buildings lining the edge of the square, both in colour and shape. There are also a few dining areas around including Niska, the robot ice cream bar.
I quite liked the games scattered around the square, as well as umbrellas and seating so you can just relax for a bit there. There is also a set of stairs that take you down towards the river side for a nice stroll.

Great atmosphere. You can really feel the living city of Melbourne here.

Federation Square is one of Victoria's most sophisticated and largest construction projects, combining advanced avant-garde architecture. The Federal Square covers an entire block of space. Its distinctive and bold design style is from the hands of Lab Architecture and Bates Smart Architects. It is a unique gathering place for citizens and cultural events. It is internationally recognized as one of the largest public squares in the world. The Federation Square hosts more than 2,000 events each year, and is filled with lively sounds from cultural festivals, exhibitions, conferences, performances, forums, conferences, movies, concerts and fashion shows.

Good place to relax watching people and obcourse the sunset. Its at the heart of the city of melbourne just across flinders station.

A lot of people, sometimes some musicans and a great information centre with helpful staff:)

Amazing displays and interactive for the kids. Wallace and gromit this month, but always something new.

you cant miss to visit federation square if you are visiting Melbourne. Major meeting place and a tourist attraction.

There are various sculptures and works of art. Crowded with tourists. Good for taking time out.

I've grown to like federation square, it has become a icon in Melbourne. Enjoyed by melbournians and visitors.

Fedaration Square is a Great Place to Meet Friends for coffee

An awesome place to go, Federation Square usually has a lot of activities planned for free. It's a spectacular place to relax and catch up with your friends.

This is cultural Hub of Melbourne, where you can find great coffee, bars and restaurant. Also it close Melbourne junction of public transport.

The architecture here would go hand in hand with the fashion line 'Derelicte' from Zoolander. The atmosphere is pretty cool though!

This place is a beautiful public space to hang out with friends. I really liked the open cinema when I was there. I wish we had something like this in Sydney.

One if my favourite spots in Melbourne. Live the architecture and the views of the city line.

Staff are so rude. Nice bar/location otherwise, doesn't make up for the appalling service though.
