Melbourne Observation Deck, Rialto Reviews

Best view in Melbourne, the additional experience "the edge" is worth. You pay and book the entrance to the room suspended in the void, then they give you an electronic pager that vibrates when it's your turn. You enter the room completely opaque and, when it is outside and suspended in the void, the glass suddenly becomes transparent. All seasoned with sound and air conditioning. Then you take the picture and go back into the skyscraper, always connected by a door in case of panic. It is not possible to bring cameras and the like in the transparent room.

$51 for me and my daughter to do the Edge experience for her birthday, needless to say it seemed bloody steep!
When we bought our ticket they told us one hour to wait for the edge experience. An hour seemed reasonable so up we went.
Once you're up there you do your walk around the small space where sullen and empty eyed people are waiting for their turn. After the first 15-20 mins you've seen everything and you join the masses of zombies waiting for your turn.
The experience itself was actually pretty fun, with some good scares and a couple belly drops. Although expensive it was good, I'd just recommend going outside of busy times (weekends).

Amazing views of Melbourne. Highly recommend The Edge as well. Definitely fun to visit even if you re a local!

Incredible view up there. Price of admission is quite high but it's definitely worth going to at least once. I would recommend paying the extra for The Edge experience, unless you are afraid of heights. Or comfortable with heights. It's pretty terrifying, but in a good, memorable and fun way.

Best place in Melbourne from where you can can see all city of Melbourne sky.

More hype but not much thrilling, like any other tower

To try at least 1 time to climb it. Guaranteed show

Just one of the places u must visit in Melbourne. Try to go early as much as u can. The sunset view so so good. U can stay all day with one ticket. It's a coffee shop there (water, coffee, drinks, muffin) just lite stuff. And the price is normal.

A lot of money for a floor in a skyscraper. Even the Skydeck is a little disappointing.
Then you have to pay an arm and a leg for the photos.

Been there like 5 times, pretty good spot to look at the whole Melbourne city. First destination if people visit me from other places.

Views of Melbourne are amazing from here. Food was good and the staff were courteous. Had to wait a bit for the edge experience but was well worth it.

Very beautiful. Worth a visit. Last climb at 9.30 am: you can see the lights

Good experience, worth if you are getting some coupons, else a bit expensive for what you pay for.
Even the lighting inside is not controlled, so taking photos always ends up on glare...

The skydeck has a really good view of Melbourne .. it's worth it..

As for the EDGE it's totally crappy . Small box .. and they don't even let you take your camera or phone .. try to rip you off by selling you a picture of yourself .. avoid it .. waste of money
The edge gets one star rating !!!!

Great experience in 9m/s lift and beautiful view of melbourne city. Pretty worthy to visit this one of the magnificent attraction of melbourne city.

Great views of Melbourne. Especially during sunset.

Very cool experience with the Edge. Amazing 360 views of the city. The Edge is a cool experience to be moved outside the building in an enclosed glass chamber with views of city hustle below.

Even if you are not at the edge, there are places where you can go outside. If it is not crowded, you can enjoy it enough

Amazing views of the Melbourne up their. The Edge experience is defiantly recommend if you're not scared of heights.

Splendid views of Melbourne. Crowd well regulated. A must visit to any tourist in Melbourne.

Great place for an amazing view of Melbourne. But a little bit expensive.

With 9 meters per second you get to the point where you have the whole city dish ...

Breathtaking views. Edge is a good experience but the photographs have a glare and are useless.

The view from atop the Eureka towers was absolutely stunning. You could see nearly the entire city and it was absolutely amazing. I recommend everyone near the tower to go check it out however the glass floor attraction is something that you don't necessarily need and is meant more to lure in kids for a quick adrenaline rush. You see enough from all the other locations on the deck through the glass windows spread throughout.

Nothing exciting. You have to pay extra for everything. Its too costly. I would-not recommend this place. The glass were very dirty and scratched, you could hardly see any clear view from the edge. You are not allowed to take your phone with you .

Was worth visiting for the view but the windows were marked and it was difficult to take photos of the view. We went at 9.20pm on a Saturday night and there was no queue to get in.

Amazing service, great food, good wine, best view of Melbourne city...literally felt like on top of the world. Good value for $$$. We spent our 5yr wedding anniversary and couldn t have chosen a better location. Degustation 7 course was quite filling!!

One stop shop for the perfect skyline view of Melbourne city

If the views were as interesting as the cocktail menu that would've definitely been a plus. I went up for the drinks flight which put us in a cosy little booth with a selection of 3 cocktails from their menu all of which were quite interesting, not just for a sweet tooth.

Unfortunately the service went from awesome to feeling like I was forgotten and then switching back and forth during the time we were there.

Overall it was a good experience however the cheese nibbles were a bit underwhealming for the money, but the views + cocktails was a nice way to spend the evening before heading out to dinner.

A fantastic view of Melbourne from above. Cost $20 but well worth it for the view.

Beautiful spot to check out if you are on a trip to MELBOURNE, spectacular views both day and night.

Nice staff, wonderful views, great place to visit for people visiting melbs. Beautiful at night time, would recommend night visits over day visits. Great thinking spot too.

We have decided to celebrate this New Year's Eve of 2020 in the Eureka Tower Melbourne. It was a kind of spontaneous decision, but we truly enjoyed the time spent there. We purchased a golden ticket, which gave us access to both of 88 (eurekaskydeck88) and 89 (eurekaskydeck) level floors. The theme of this Eve was a Great Gatsby and many participants were in the 1920's dress style accordingly. We liked the music on the 88th floor more than on 89th, it was making the holiday atmosphere even more enjoyable. The views from this tower were stunningly mesmerizing. Melbourne at night has a very beautiful and unforgettable appearance. Especially the fireworks! We could see almost all details of it from a bird's eye view.
The waiters served delicious snacks and alcohol, both were included in the package. There were quite a few people, but the rooms were quite spacious, and therefore there was no discomfort.

Very interesting experience.
We were really satisfied and impressed.

A must do while in Melbourne. Great views of the city and with information and what your looking at all the way round. Fairly priced for a tourist attraction. The edge is an intresting experience and can be little scary but it's very safe.

Great experience
Nice view over the whole city

Its alright. A little flat on landscape. Mostly buildings.

Its an amazing place. Tallest building in southern hemisphere. Worth watching!!

The place just amazes you. The view of whole city from one place.. just beautiful

Its good to bring the kids along.. its just a bit small... But the kids are happy..

Inspiring views of a beautiful, rapidly expanding city. Try tbe cube experience and not too far away the Melbourne sky tower at twilight.

Good views of the whole city very beautiful at night. Also tickets are cheaper at costco

I liked the place the view was really good, and then there's a VR experience for free. There's also this Edge experience which takes you higher with glass all around you, would not recommend it for people with fear of heights and claustrophobia.

However, it's a bit expensive, considering there's not much besides the city to look at. For students/seniors/pr it's 22, but for adults it's 25. The view is amazing but that's about it. I feel a little irked about the price but going there once is enough.

Awesome views, 360 degree viewing. Didn't go on the edge platform but saw the experience of those who did and it looked thrilling.

View the city from different sides 88 floors I guess... Very exciting and if you want to try to the city standing on the glass you can get it there

Had a great experience here. Highly recommended !! for travelers visiting to melbourne.
