but it does say that everybody else raves about our market so we can take some comfort. Following on are some other reviews over recent days.
“It's a market”
This was an ok place to visit but I wasn't wowed by it. Big? Yes. Have everything under the sun? Pretty much. Nothing really special or different.
Everybody raves about it - maybe it's just me.

“Marvellous Market of Melbourne”
Where do you begin to describe this Market. It is purely fantastic. You can get fresh fruit and vegetables , meats, fish, delicatessen foods and even live animals. These products are divided over two areas with one section completely enclosed and the other under cover but still open. So rug up warm if it's a cold day. The third section is full of stalls that sell just about anything you can think of...shoes, bags, bedding, toys, jewellery, clothing, knick knacks, souvenirs, hardware and that's just a few. It is a treasure trove of goodies. Great bargains can be had and you can nibble on the amazing food truck snacks as you shop. You really need a few hours if you want to browse and really experience all this market has to offer. It can get very busy and you can get lots of prams etc, so be prepared if you go on a weekend for a crowd. It is kid friendly but some kiddies can get a bit overwhelmed in the crowds. During summer they do a Wednesday night market which is predominately food and drinks. Great fun for foodies as the food is from all parts of the globe with music to match. Great atmosphere and a great way to spend a balmy summer evening. A must do place in Melbourne.
“An insight into Melbourne's multi-cultural population.”
This a great undercover market which is easy to get to by tram from the center of the city.
Fresh market produce and a wonderful range of delicatessen type foods. Also gift stalls are available. All under one roof with every nationality to be seen and heard.

“So much to see! A great way to spend a morning (or afternoon)”
We went there on a Sunday morning waiting for our flight out in the afternoon. There was so much to see we had to spend about 2-3 hours just to walk pass everything. The quality of the fresh produce and other goods looked a lot better than sydney's Paddy's market. Gourmet food and coffee was abundant. The toilet was also unexpectedly clean.
