Located in the waterfront precinct of Docklands, Melbourne Star invites visitors to experience the city from a very different perspective. This unique introduction to Melbourne offers a bird's-eye view of its colour, culture and eccentricities and provides a new way to engage with the vibrant cityscape. Day or night, you will feel on top of the world as the Star glides on its gentle arc through the sky. From tranquil gardens to glitzy fashion strips and bustling sporting precincts, all the attractions of Melbourne are laid out beneath you. The Southern Hemisphere’s only giant observation wheel brings the whole picture together – the sophisticated, the grungy and the downright quirky, all spread out under the sky.
Each of the Melbourne Star’s 21 spacious, air-conditioned cabins offers an unparalleled, 360-degree view of the city and surroundings. Walk around and take in the views from all angles while audio commentary introduces the history and significance of the sights below. In the evening, the Star's nightly LED light show adds a dynamic addition to the city's skyline.
Every visit to Melbourne should start at the Star.
Take the free City Circle Tram or tram numbers 86 (via Bourke Street) or 70 (via Flinders Street) to stop D11. The Melbourne Visitor Shuttle Bus also stops at the Star.
