When you look behind the giant murals and the larger than life props you find that GlowGolf Docklands is based on old fashioned family fun at an affordable price. "What they have is a really awesome presentation of an old fashioned theme." GlowGolf Docklands is Mini Golf with a twist, as the majority of it is in the dark under UV lights where the fluorescent paints react and come alive. The other holes are under mood lighting that has been designed to match the theme of the mini golf hole. The most popular hole being is the Kingswood Ute. Just be careful around hole 11 because the guy in the Dunny has some rather noisy problems and check out hole 18 for your randomly generated score, this hole is a heart breaker. GlowGolf Docklands is a great place to come and play for Corporate Functions, hens and bucks nights, birthdays or just to have a lot of fun with your family or a group of friends. You could even try GlowGolf Docklands out for a date, or perhaps your first date.

Melbourne's Tall Ship - Enterprize provides a range of opportunities to experience sailing on a tall ship in its program from October until June 2014. If you have ever dreamt of going to sea on a traditional tall ship, now is the perfect time. Enterprize has monthly public sails from Melbourne Docklands, Williamstown and Geelong, with sails from Portarlington (near Geelong) and Blairgowrie and Rye (Mornington Peninsula) in summer months. The most popular Enterprize sails are the shorter daytime one hour sails and twilight sails of one and a half hours for up to forty people conducted most weeks. These are suitable for people of all ages from young children to people well into their 'seniors' years. There are a number of Overnight Adventure sails and half day Bay Cruises scheduled for the lower Yarra and the northern end of Port Phillip. For a multi-day tall ship experience Enterprize has a unique lifetime experience with a trip to Port Welshpool in late November. This is a one week trip departing Docklands on 21 November, sailing to Port Welshpool via Port Phillip, Bass Strait and Wilson's Promontory. Enterprize is a wooden topsail schooner operated by the not for profit Enterprize Trust. The ship is an authentically rigged replica of John Pascoe Faulkner's Enterprize which brought the first permanent settlers to settle Melbourne in 1835.

Tickets for shorter trips are available from ship 30 minutes prior to sailing, where not booked out. Go to their website or call for further information and online bookings.

Alma Doepel is a three masted topsail schooner and is of exceptional historical value in Australia's maritime history. She is one of the oldest wooden hull square-riggers surviving with more than a hundred years of history behind her. She spent more than 10 years during the late 1990's running a commercially viable youth sail training operation within Port Philip. The Alma Sail Training program has been used successfully to provide a stimulating educational and character-building experience in an environment that is usually completely new to the participants. It is a challenge that at first appears insurmountable and completely foreign but then is soon overcome with the help of competent teachers and mentors. Overcoming challenges is exactly what youth need in their journey to becoming well adjusted, functioning members of mainstream society. Alma Doepel is presently based in Melbourne's Docklands at Shed two on North Wharf Road and is undergoing a major refit to regain commercial survey certification to allow resumption of her youth sail training activities. Alma Doepel brings a compelling attraction to Docklands. During restoration and once sailing again Alma will be not only visually interesting but a tourist destination, an educational resource, historical link and a centre of activity. Volunteers are needed to not only assist with the ship's restoration but also fund raising. For further details call Peter Harris, Restoration Director of Alma Doepel.
