A Christmas Eve tradition, just moments away. ✨

Two Melbourne icons: @melbourneskydeck and the @mcg.
Why not make a night of both? Today, Thursday, 18 December, the Melbourne Stars return to the BBL at the ‘G — and if you’re heading in with the kids, start the fun early with sky-high views at @MelbourneSkydeck.

Let the little ones take in the city from above, brave The Edge, or dive into the Voyager Theatre before you stroll over to the MCG for all the Big Bash energy.

The perfect pre-game adventure to kick off a summer night in Melbourne.

Family fun starts at @melbourneskydeck. 🙌✨
If you’re heading into the city these school holidays, Skydeck is an absolute must-visit and is so much more than an Observation Deck — whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, there’s always something new to discover.

🎢 The Voyager Theatre – buckle up for a wild, immersive Virtual Reality (VR) ride through Melbourne’s most iconic moments.
🟦 The Edge – where even the bravest feel their heart skip as they step out over the city with just centimetres of glass beneath them. ✨
