Itinerary
Melbourne Skydeck
Get set for liftoff as you enter the Melbourne Skydeck express elevator, which will take you to level 88 in less than 40 seconds! On the Skydeck, be amazed by the panoramic views from the floor-to-ceiling windows that surround you. See Melbourne’s Central Business District, the sports precinct and Port Phillip Bay; if it’s a clear day, your view will extend all the way out to the Dandenong Ranges. Walk through the air lock and go outside to ‘The Terrace.’ Feel the wind rush in your ears as you stand 975 feet (300 meters) above the ground. Grab a pair of high-powered binoculars for up-close views of the city, and watch ‘The Edge’ in action as it projects out from the side of the building.

Great way to appreciate the size of Melbourne
Well worth the trip, if for nothing else than to appreciate the sheer size of Melbourne and see how the city sits alongside the Yarra River and Port Phillip Bay. For the more daring, there’s The Edge, a glass cube that extends out from the building. Not for everyone! There’s also a small café if you want to sit for a while, have a drink and simply enjoy the view.

Must do!
This ticket can be used at any point of the day. My family and I decided to go up for sunset and had some incredible views of the city. Make sure to book in advance because the spots full up!

Great views.
Turned up, considered options and decided the basic was fine, paid and ascended. Place wasn't busy, so no problem seeing out of windows. Pretty clear day so could see until mist obscured the view, but town was very clear. Spent some time looking out all sides and had a nice G&T; all very pleasant. Nice staff also. Seemed very good value and happy to recommend.

A MUST DO!
I visited the SkyDeck after going on a river cruise for which the dock is nearby. I am so very glad I did. Both the free City Circle Tram and the river cruise audios mentioned this and I saw it from the street. Then going up to see the whole city from that view was outstanding. I especially enjoyed being up there at sunset, and on a clear day like we had was inspiring. One of my favorite activities in Melbourne. I loved the whole experience, including the external caged deck. I enjoyed the viewed got a glass of wine and a snack. Was up there for about 1-1.5 hr and it was totally worth it. Edge is where you get in a box that slides in an out and you can see through the glass below. That is an additional ticket and I did not do that. Was not interested. NOTE: - This is so minor and definitely not a deal breaker. I ate at Bar 88 and if you are sitting near there, when it’s dark the reflection of the lights and people show in the windows, so it can be difficult to see the city lights in those areas.

Sunset view
It was a brilliant view of the city at sun set. Worth the money to see it and a great last view of Australia with my friends

Nice view of Melbourne city centre from above. Viewed at nighttime with spectacular city lights. Outdoor terrace also.

Don't ever go up there at peak times. Too many people
You will have to line up (nobody ever tells you) and there will be so many people that you feel that you are in line like at an airport.
