Happy 17th Birthday to Melbourne Skydeck!
Join us as we celebrate the 17th anniversary of the opening of the southern hemisphere’s highest observation deck! Perched atop the iconic Eureka Tower, Melbourne Skydeck offers unparalleled views of the city, making it a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike.
The Eureka tower is a famous gold-plated skyscraper, designed by Fender Katsalidis Architects and engineered by Grocon. Standing at a height of 297 meters / 975 feet it is the 2nd tallest building in Melbourne and 3rd tallest in Australia. It is also one of the tallest residential buildings in the world. The tower was officially opened to the public on 11th Oct 2006 after 4 years and 2 months of construction. On the 88th floor of the tower, at 285 meters / 985 feet, the Melbourne Skydeck is located. The high-speed elevator whisks visitors from ground level to the 88th floor in a mere 38 seconds, traveling at an impressive speed of 9 meters per second!
From here, guests enjoy unparalleled views over the city and beyond as well as an array of wonderful experiences. For those who are ready to face theirs fears “The Edge,” a thrilling glass cube extending three meters from the tower, providing a heart-stopping experience of hovering above the city, cannot be missed! A fun fact: “The Edge” comprises two tonnes of 45 mm thick glass reinforced with steel, ensuring a safe experience 285 meters above ground. Melbourne Skydeck also offers amazing VR experiences. Melbourne Skydeck’s Virtual Reality (VR) Plank Experience transports visitors 285 meters above Melbourne, where they feel the excitement of walking on a thin plank in the sky!
