Hotels near Eureka Skydeck

The Eureka Tower is a 297-metre residential skyscraper completed in 2006 - the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere when built. The Skydeck observation level on the 88th floor at 285 metres offers panoramic views across Melbourne. The signature attraction is The Edge - a 3 metre by 3 metre glass cube that extends 3 metres out from the building's side, retracting frosted glass once visitors are inside to reveal a transparent floor 285 metres above ground.

Skydeck admission 28 AUD adult; The Edge add-on 16 AUD (separate, 5-minute experience). 30-second lift ride to the 88th floor. The deck is fully enclosed with floor-to-ceiling glass. Views span the entire CBD, the Yarra River, Port Phillip Bay, the Dandenong Ranges, and on clear days as far as the You Yang Ranges 100 km west. Open daily 12:00-22:00. Allow 90 minutes including the Edge experience.

Pro Tip: Book the 30 minutes before sunset slot - the deck position lets you watch the city transition from day to night in one visit. The Edge glass-floor experience is genuinely intense - those with vertigo should consider skipping it (regular floor access without The Edge is the alternative).
