Eureka Skydeck

Eureka Skydeck, now branded Melbourne Skydeck, is an observation deck on Level 88 of Eureka Tower in Southbank, Melbourne, Victoria. At 285 metres high, it is the highest public vantage point in the Southern Hemisphere. Opened in 2007, it offers 360-degree views across Melbourne, Port Phillip Bay and the Dandenong Ranges. Notable for its gold-plated windows and The Cube glass cube experience, it is a major urban viewpoint attraction.

Visitors take high-speed lifts from the ground floor to Level 88 in under 40 seconds to a large indoor observation deck with floor-to-ceiling windows offering 360-degree views of Melbourne city, Yarra River, Port Phillip Bay and surrounding ranges. The space includes viewing binoculars, interpretive displays, a cafe and gift shop, and The Cube - a glass cube that extends 3 metres out from the building with a glass floor. Virtual reality and Voyager Theatre experiences are also available.

Eureka Tower was completed in 2006 and was the world's tallest residential building by roof height at the time. Designed by Fender Katsalidis Architects, its gold crown and gold-plated windows reference Victoria's 1854 Eureka Stockade and gold rush heritage, while the red stripe represents the blood spilt during the stockade. The blue glass represents the goldfields' sky. Eureka Skydeck opened to the public on 15 May 2007 on Level 88.

Eureka Tower and its Skydeck are an iconic landmark of Melbourne's Southbank skyline and Yarra River precinct. It serves as a major tourism viewpoint showcasing the city's urban layout, river and bay geography, and is widely used for visitor orientation and city photography.
