Story Bridge Climb

Story Bridge Adventure Climb is a guided bridge climb attraction on the heritage-listed Story Bridge spanning the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Queensland. Opened in 1940 and designed by John Bradfield, the steel cantilever bridge connects Fortitude Valley and Kangaroo Point. The climb allows visitors to ascend to an 80-metre summit for panoramic views of the city, river, Moreton Bay and Glass House Mountains, making it one of Brisbane's most distinctive adventure and sightseeing experiences.

Visitors can expect a fully guided climb on the Story Bridge led by trained climb leaders. After a safety briefing and being fitted with harness and safety equipment, groups ascend via walkways, stairs and ladders to the summit platform about 80 metres above the Brisbane River. The experience offers 360-degree views of the Brisbane CBD, Brisbane River, Kangaroo Point Cliffs, Moreton Bay and Glass House Mountains. Climbs operate in daylight, twilight and night, with commentary on the bridge's history and photo opportunities provided by guides.

The Story Bridge is a heritage-listed steel cantilever bridge constructed between 1935 and 1940 during the Great Depression as a major public works project. Designed by Dr John Bradfield, designer of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, it was opened on 6 July 1940 and named after John Douglas Story. It remains the longest cantilever bridge in Australia and is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.

The Story Bridge is an iconic landmark and symbol of Brisbane, valued for its engineering heritage and role in connecting the northern and southern suburbs across the Brisbane River. The bridge climb has become a signature adventure tourism experience showcasing the city's river and skyline, and the bridge is illuminated at night for cultural events and celebrations.
