We’re a couple from the UK, and we visited the Melbourne Skydeck at about 1:30 pm on a clear day. The lift is absurd—88 floors in 38 seconds—and suddenly you’re looking down at the whole city. The views were superb in the early afternoon light: the Yarra, the MCG, and the bay in the distance. Inside the observation deck, it was surprisingly quiet compared to the street noise below—no trams, no traffic, just a calm hush. Then you step out onto the outdoor viewing platform and see all that noise happening far below, almost silently. The city becomes a distant hum, and the contrast is striking. We also did the VR theatre. We expected a gimmick, but it was genuinely enjoyable—a fun 11-minute whizz over Victoria. At around $33 each, it’s not cheap, but for UK visitors wanting a proper sense of Melbourne, it was worth it. Book online, go on a clear day, and make time for the outdoor viewing platform. It’s the bit we kept talking about afterwards.

We had a fantastic experience at Melbourne Skydeck! We arrived before sunset and stayed until it got dark, which was absolutely worth it. Watching the sunset over Melbourne, with its modern high-rise buildings and the beautiful Yarra River, was amazing. As night fell, the city lights created an incredible view. The panoramic scenery was stunning, and it was a memorable experience for the whole family. Definitely a must-visit attraction in Melbourne. Highly recommended!

Families, be aware, if you book through Headout app, you cannot access the family ticket discount. Book directly through Phillip Island Penguin Parade website and save some $. Penguins were super cute! So many visitors ignored all the instructions given by the guides to protect them - not sure why these people come if not interested in conservation - more interested for the perfect photo for social media. This detracted from the experience a little.

Sitting on the sand by the wild Bass Strait, wind in our faces, we waited patiently as the sun set. And then magically, in small groups of 6-10 the fairy penguins emerged from the surf and began there long slow waddle up the beach, into the dunes, to the safety of their burrows. A wonderful nature experience at Philip Island, very well managed and highly recommended.

Tol was most helpful in upgrading my ticket. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating.The Fairy Penguin parade was extra special. The gift shop items are fairly priced and great to hear of the percentages to further fund the upkeep etc of the facility and beyond. Well done Phillip Island

My visit to Melbourne Skydeck with Headout was a memorable experience from start to finish. What made the visit special was the incredible panoramic view of Melbourne from such a high vantage point. Seeing the city skyline, Yarra River and surrounding areas from above was breathtaking, especially around sunset when the city began to light up. The experience was also smooth and convenient through Headout, making it easy to access the attraction without any unnecessary hassle. The Skydeck itself had a great atmosphere, and the views made it an experience I would definitely recommend to both tourists and locals. Overall, Headout made visiting Melbourne Skydeck simple and enjoyable, while the stunning views created a memorable experience that I’ll remember for a long time.

Watching the little penguins come back from the ocean and make their way across the beach was definitely the highlight of our visit. It was such a special and memorable experience for our family, especially for our two girls. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional throughout the visit. I especially appreciated how clearly they reinforced the no-camera policy to help protect the penguins and reduce disturbance. The beautiful weather was also a lovely bonus and made the experience even more enjoyable.

Although a cold windy night , the little penguins did not disappoint, they were incredibly cute and astonishing that they come in every night to settle on their homes. What was disappointing were the amount of people in complete disregard for what they were told and not use phones after sunset , many many times they told and still I saw so many being used on the beach and boardwalk. I hope the tradition continues and isn't spoilt by those that continue to disregard rules .
