One good place to visit when in Melbourne.
Going up to level 88 in just 40s seconds.
We can see whole area of Melbourne.
There’s also a coffee shop so we can have some meals while enjoying pretty scenery.

Gives a good 360 degree view of Melbourne there is one caged viewing platform outside and a glass floor platform (extra cost for going out on glass platform which I didn't try). There is a bar with drinks & snacks. Seating if you want to sit & enjoy the view to.

Great way to see Melbourne, however be mindful that weather here can change by the time you make it up the elevator. Sadly the lighting and window tint makes it really hard to get good photos, expect to see your hands and phone reflected.
The Edge experience, skip it, it's over a 30 min wait to be there 5 minutes, it's not well maintained and the glass is stained.
It's a good starter to see Melbourne, just skip all the add ons. Book online to get a cheaper price, there is no need to schedule.

Visiting the Melbourne Skydeck was an exceptional experience. It's the perfect spot to get a panoramic view of the entire city and truly soak in its beauty. With its 360-degree observation deck, you can take in every angle of the cityscape. I purchased my tickets online for approximately 17 euros, and the wait for the elevators was minimal. The staff were incredibly courteous and helpful throughout. At the top, there's even a café where you can enjoy a drink while admiring the view. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I highly recommend.

It was a really amazing experience,88 floors high. 360 degree views of the entire city. The really cool bit is that there are mounted telescopes focused on individual buildings and locations of note with labels. The elevators are some of the fastest I’ve been on and it doesn’t feel like you’re hardly moving! You’re whisked to the top and back down in what feels like just a few seconds.making it a truly memorable experience for me. the staff are very friendly and helpful. I suggest going here around sunset time.

This is the ideal place to begin a visit to Melbourne. There are 360 degree views of the entire city (as you would expect). The really cool bit is that there are mounted telescopes focused on individual buildings and locations of note with labels. So you can easily get a feel for where places are and whether you’d like to visit or not. The elevators are some of the fastest I’ve been on and it doesn’t feel like you’re hardly moving! You’re whisked to the top and back down in what feels like just a few seconds. There’s a small cafe with snacks at the top and a photo op spot that makes it look like you’re standing up top outside. You exit through the gift shop which offers the standard souvenirs but also a cooler full of ice cream and ice cold bottles of water. Very helpful when it’s hot. Staff are very friendly and helpful. A very fun experience.

Truly amazing experience. You have 360 degree panoramic view. The lift was fast ,just a few minutes at the 88th floor.

The view was phenomenal. There are binoculars at distinguish landmarks to see better.

Staff were friendly and have cafe shop and souvenir items .

Exhilarating experience! The layout is such that you have 360 degree panoramic views. There are fixed binoculars around the place that point to famous landmarks.
Before you go up there are little information boards :)

My favourite was the outdoor area, you could really feel the force of the wind.

We also did the edge experience, which was cool but very loud. If you get in there with a bunch of kids, prepare to go def. They also play really loud sounds over the speakers (slightly louder than the cinema).

Awesome views! Recommend to go sunset or during a storm :)
