Spencer Outlet Center
It is impossible not to find a bargain in this mall. It is the largest Outlet Center closest to the CBD and very easy to get to via Southern Cross Station. Located above the Skybus Terminal and just next to the Etihad Stadium it is accessible for everyone.

Many visitors keep picking this spot, because it is not that crowded during the working days.
They are open every day until 6 pm and it will be like this during Easter holidays also, with the exception of Good Friday. What they are up to and what kind of discounts you can expect, check out here.
