Also called the Eureka Skydeck 88, this observation deck offers glorious views of the city, making it the perfect vantage shot for some amazing photography of the city. The deck is surrounded by view finders, each pointing to famous landmarks in Melbourne. The deck is great for taking pictures with the family as well, as you can get pictures with Melbourne’s amazing skyline as the background; a great souvenir indeed! One of the most amazing features of the Melbourne Observation Deck is ‘The Edge’. This fancy cube is not for the faint of heart, and is a hit amongst thrill seekers. The Edge is essentially a glass cube which seems opaque, and welcoming. But the cube then extends out of the building until is completely suspended besides the building and then the cube suddenly becomes clear, giving you the impression of standing on thin air!
There is no doubt that the Melbourne Observation Deck at the Eureka Tower is going to be an unforgettable experience, so go ahead and pay it a visit.
