Escape Rooms near Docklands
Planning something around Docklands? Our South Yarra venue is a short trip across the city, six rooms with live availability below. Below is a day on the waterfront with a game folded in, the reasons an escape room fits the plan, and live times you can book now.
A day in Docklands
Docklands is Melbourne's modern waterfront, all harbour, stadium and open sky. Here is a day worth building around a game.
The waterfront
Docklands is built around Victoria Harbour. Wander the NewQuay promenade and the Harbour Esplanade for waterfront dining with the city skyline across the water, or take a Port Phillip ferry from the pier.
Marvel Stadium
Marvel Stadium is the heart of the precinct, hosting AFL, concerts and big events under a retractable roof, and it is a short walk from Southern Cross Station. An escape room is a great addition before or after the footy or a show.
The District Docklands
The District Docklands stacks shopping, a Hoyts cinema, dining and family entertainment in one walkable precinct, an easy rainy-day or school-holiday plan across the road from the stadium.
…then the escape room
The easy part: South Yarra is a short tram or train through the city, with six rooms and live availability below.

A day out on the harbour
Make a day of it. A walk along Victoria Harbour, lunch on the NewQuay promenade, a film or the arcades at The District, and an hour in the room across town. An escape room slots into about 90 minutes, so it is easy to build a full day around.
