Eureka Skydeck, Observation deck in Southbank, Australia.

The Eureka Skydeck stands on level 88 of a glass tower at 300 meters high, providing visitors with 360-degree views of Melbourne's cityscape.

The Eureka Skydeck opened its doors to the public on October 1, 2006, becoming the Southern Hemisphere's highest public observation platform at that time.

The facility recognizes the traditional land ownership of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people from the Kulin Nation through permanent acknowledgments and displays.

Visitors can access the observation deck through high-speed elevators daily from 12 PM to 10 PM, with reduced hours on December 25 and December 31.

The Voyager Theatre contains 24 specialized 6-D pod chairs that transport guests through Melbourne's landmarks in an interactive digital experience.
