POISED high above the Yarra River in Southbank, Eureka Skydeck is one of MelbourneÂ’s most spectacular family friendly tourist destinations.

Located on Level 88 of Eureka Tower, Eureka Skydeck is 285 metres above the ground but only a swift 40 second elevator ride away.

Whether visiting during the day or in the evening, Eureka Skydeck ensures breathtaking 360 degree, floor-to-ceiling views of the stunning Melbourne skyline.

Arriving just in time for the school holidays, Eureka Skydeck’s new feature, the Serendipity Table on Level 1, is an immersive, gesture-sensitive table-top, giving guests a top-down view of Melbourne and its many landmarks.

The Serendipity Table allows people to watch the ebb and flow of the city, with hot-air balloons floating overhead, fireworks going off over the Yarra River, cars moving about the city streets, and Eureka Tower swaying with the wind.

Once up at Eureka Skydeck, patrons can choose to venture on to the world’s only Edge experience. The awe inspiring Edge is a 3m by 3m transparent glass cube, which slides out from the building, suspending guests above the Melbourne skyline.
Patrons can have their photo taken while out on the Edge. The photos are available for purchase, and can be sent via MMS or email, ready for upload to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Eureka Skydeck’s Outdoor Terrace is enclosed by a wire grid, and exposes guests to the outside elements 88 levels up. The Terrace is right next to The Edge, allowing family and friends to view those inside the cube.

Organising a family trip to Eureka Skydeck is easy with the online booking system. Visitors can select their preferred ticket type and have tickets emailed straight to their inbox.
