melbourne star observation wheel, district docklands

A family outing, a special celebration or a date night with a view — the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel is BACK and has a fresh line-up of experiences. So exciting, Mamma is eyeing off a few to try!

Rising 120 metres above The District Docklands, this Melbourne icon gives you a chance to slow down and take in our beautiful city. The enclosed, climate-controlled cabins keep everyone comfortable while you watch Melbourne unfold below. How many familiar places can the kids spot?

Ok, so now you can choose your experience, the Classic Spin takes you on a gentle, 30-minute rotation, with views across the city and out to the bay. Adult tickets start from $29, or you can upgrade to a Star Class VIP seat for a little extra comfort. Planning something special with the whole crew? You can book a private cabin, too!

There is also a Romance Ride, pairing the ride with a drinks package in a Star Class cabin, while the Picnic Package includes a charcuterie board and drinks for two. Both are for grown-ups aged 18 and over — now that’s a a lovely idea for a date night! See tickets and experiences.

Mamma says, make an evening of it and watch the city lights come on!
The Star’s current opening hours extend into the evening, with the last spin at 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 9pm on other days. Check opening hours before visiting.
