What experiences are there at Melbourne Skydeck?
Melbourne Skydeck
Experience Melbourne on another level when you ascend 88 levels to Melbourne Skydeck, where the city comes alive from nearly 300 metres above. The lifts are the fastest in the southern hemisphere, travelling at more than nine metres per second.
A General Admission ticket will grant you entry to Melbourne Skydeck and Bar 88, plus the interactive 3D model of Melbourne on the ground floor.
The Edge
If you're feeling daring, the Edge is a huge, moving glass cube that transports passengers three metres outside Melbourne Skydeck, leaving you suspended terrifyingly high above the streets below. With intelligent glass that switches from opaque to transparent, the Edge is sure to give goosebumps to even the bravest of passengers.
This is a great dare with friends or an unforgettable proposal opportunity. You'll also receive a digital photo download from your experience in the Edge.
Voyager Theatre
Voygager Theatre is a 6D cinematic voyage through iconic Melbourne moments. You'll see, hear, feel and smell everything from the rattling motion as you 'ride' the iconic Scenic Railway wooden coaster at Luna Park to pounding drums of Lunar New Year performances.
The first of its kind in the southern hemisphere, and largest of its kind in the world, this theater uses 24 Positron Voyager VR pod chairs packed with the technology to give guests a truly sensory voyage.
VR Plank
This virtual reality (VR) experience tricks you into thinking you're balancing on a narrow plank dizzyingly high above Melbourne. Walk the thin, moving plank with your VR headset on, then 'zipline' through Melbourne's parks and streets. Even VR veterans are sure to get wobbly on the plank and give out a "weee!" as they soar through the air.
VR Plank is just one of many experiences Melbourne Skydeck has to offer.
