Wonderful 360 views! We did the Edge experience and had yummy frozen margaritas at Bar 88! I’m scared of heights but went out for a photo and looked down! It was easy to purchase the tickets and you got a buzzer to tell you when to go to the Edge, super convenient.
Kath A, Trip Advisor

Booked the experience including the VR and Edge. We all found the VR really good and highlighted lots of Melbournes ‘must’ see and do’s. The Edge was just a bit of fun added on. The actual views are stunning, well worth it.

The city views from the Melbourne Skydeck were absolutely insane! We went up at night and were completely mesmerized by the sparkling city lights below. It felt like we were on top of the world.
Williem C,

Visiting at sunset was our best decision - watching the city transform from daylight to a sparkling wonderland of lights was truly magical. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered unobstructed 360-degree views that made us feel like we were floating above Melbourne. Worth every pen
