Melbourne Star Observation Wheel

  • Tour
  • Landmark

Take to the sky for a 30-minute journey above Melbourne in one of our spacious shared cabins. By day, sweeping views across the city, the bay and beyond. After dark, the skyline and thousands of city lights turn it into something else entirely. Whether you ride by day or night, there's always something new to see from the Star.

Elevate your experience by booking a private cabin, upgrading to Star Class, or add on one of the packages. See the website for full details.
