If you’re heading to an event at Marvel Stadium, Moondog Land is the perfect pre- or post-game pit stop. Tucked around the back of the stadium (near Gate 7), this sprawling tropical-themed family friendly venue brings the fun with fast service, a solid menu and plenty of space to stretch out.
The venue is split into two sections – the main area of Moondog Land is open for major events only, while the Jungle Room – Docklands is open every day and shares the same vibe.
Moondog Land is huge! There are multiple levels, palm trees, booths, loads of tables, and heaps of staff keeping things moving. It’s designed for a crowd, which means food comes out quickly – a massive win when you’ve got kids in tow and kickoff is looming.
We visited before a footy match and grabbed their pot and parma special – super easy, great value and tasty. The menu’s full of crowd-pleasers: think burgers, parmas, pizzas and wings. There’s also a decent kids’ menu with favourites like chicken nuggets, cheeseburgers, hot dogs and chips, and even a scoop of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce and sprinkles to finish off.
The cocktails, great beers and food is flowing here, so just order and find a spot – no fuss, no waiting around!
There’s also a little arcade and pool table zone if the kids want to play while you enjoy your drink.
