Morley is quite a large suburb and has plenty to offer, including a very large shopping centre and markets. It also has quite a lot of other places to go to that are really worthwhile and this is a list of some of my favourites.
1. GALLERIA SHOPPING CENTREThe Galleria is a well-known landmark and is a two storey building with parking on both levels, allowing about 4,200 cars to park there. It is on the corner of Walter and Collier Roads and has one major Department Store with several supermarkets. It has about 210 shops in all.
An Events movie theatre is at one end of the shopping centre and you can see a full list of the stores
here. It also has quite a large
Food Hall and several other cafes and restaurants dotted around the centre.
Some of my favourite places in this shopping centre are:
Coffee Club
Kathmandu
Body Shop
Jamaica Blue
Bing Boy
Itoshii Japanese Restaurant
Lunch at the Coffee Club
Morley is the "capital" or hub of op shops! Here there are about 5 shops within less than 500 metres of each other. One of my favourite ones is:
Save the Children which is on Rudloc Street, and parking outside is easy.
Morley Save the Children Op Shop
Some of the other Op Shops include:
3. COVENTRY MARKETSThese are huge markets and I find them very interesting. I mainly go there for meals and to the Asian grocery store which is ginormous.
You can buy just about all nationalities of food in these markets. You can eat moderately expensive, though most of the cafes are cheap by today's standards and some are super cheap, yet still good.
Some of my favourite places to eat here are:
Skoops Gelato - many different flavours and sizes
Canton Seafood - always have the Peking duck
Breadtop Bakery - great for lunch or a snack
Coventry Seafood Bar and Grill - always excellent food
Top six cheap eats - all good food
Singapore Chicken Rice - quick, cheap and good
Kaldi Cafe - good coffee
Delicious breads, filled rolls and cakes

Morley Rollerdrome for fast fun
Tenpin bowling was very fashionable some 30 years ago and we all used to go regularly. It is perhaps not quite as "in" as it was then, however, this bowling alley has been there for many years and still seems to be busy. Nowadays they also have gaming parlours and do birthday parties as well as tenpin bowling.

11. MIGHTY JUNGLE
I have also taken my grandchildren here and they serve breakfast, and lunch, so it is great as you can sit down and relax while the children play. Ideally, it is suited for ages 0 to 4 years old and it is a bright, colourful place.

12. REALMZ ESCAPE GAMES
This is a fascinating place where there are real-life room Escape Games, also known as Escape Rooms. The concept involves between 2 and 5 people going into a themed room with a backstory. In here, you must interact with your surroundings, using items and clues to solve a series of puzzles in order to escape within a 45 minute time period.

Here you can have motorcycle lessons. Perhaps you are thinking of buying a motorcycle or are not sure and want to try it out! You can learn to ride a scooter, small bike or large bike.
