Worth a quick look to view the quirky architecture of the various buildings in this public space, but not somewhere to linger unless you want to visit the inside of any of the buildings.
Visited Federation Square, as my friend told me that it is a must visit.
Visited the Ian Potter Centre, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), and had a number of stores, which didn't interest me.
Just wandered around with two of my teenage sons just soaking up the atmosphere - very arty and with people sprawled out watching the Aussie tennis open on the big screen it did give it some extra buzz. Beautiful modern architecture, and just a totally cool place to be, surrounded with 1800s historic architecture as well. The gallery had an ongoing exhibition and all the walkways are air-conditioned! So much to see if you want.
Thanks Paul for your great review. Summer is a great time to come to Fed Square to catch the action from the Australian Open on the Big Screen, as well as visit ACMI, The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia and the Koorie Heritage Trust, with their daily free exhibitions. Glad you and your son had a fantastic time soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying all that's on at Fed Square.
Our Christmas lunch was great! Grill salmon was nice and service is fantastic! Correct size portions better off booking for special days will come again for sure
That's great to hear! Which restaurant at Fed Square did you go to for your Christmas lunch – we'd love to pass on your fantastic feedback.
Bit average honestly. There was people setting up for a new festival, but other than that I couldn’t see much else happening. I could see restaurants around the place but couldn’t see much signage about the other buildings especially as I wanted to go to the Ian Potter centre but it seems that needed to be accessed from the other side but no signage for it.
Unless there is something happening, bit average.
Sorry to hear you had a less than optimal experience at Fed Square.
The event you saw being set up on Thursday 17 November was the African Music and Cultural Festival, which was a big event that went over three days.
You can always check out what's on via our website to plan your trip to Fed Square, and also the online map and wayfinding maps around the square can help you navigate the space.
There are also three galleries and museums at Fed Square, which have free exhibitions on daily. Check out the information on the website.
