SWAP THIS FOR THAT
Elevate your date
Ditch the ordinary and be dazzled by a date like no other at Melbourne Skydeck. WORDS Sarah Vercoe
If you’re tired of the usual dinner-and-drinks routine, why not elevate your next date – literally? Nearly 300 metres above the streets, Melbourne Skydeck turns an ordinary date into an extraordinary experience, blending cocktails, breathtaking views, and just a touch of adrenaline.
SWAP STREET-LEVEL CHAT FOR CONVERSATIONS WITH A VIEW
Melbourne (Naarm) demands to be seen from above. Its striking contrasts – sleek skyscrapers, heritage laneways, and lush green parks – unfold spectacularly from Melbourne Skydeck, located within the iconic Eureka Tower. Whether you arrive at the ‘golden hour’ before sunset to watch the sun ignite the city skyline or linger into the evening, the view offers a movie-style setting for romantic conversations.
SWAP LANEWAY DRINKS FOR SKY-HIGH COCKTAILS
A date at Melbourne Skydeck isn’t just about the view – it’s also about the flavours. At Bar 88, located within the observation deck, handcrafted cocktails and gourmet small plates are offered in an intimate atmosphere. Sip on a Skydeck Spritz or a classic Negroni while sharing a charcuterie board or artisan cheeses – all with the city lights shimmering beneath you.
“The view offers a movie-style setting for romantic conversations.”
SWAP DATE NIGHT NERVES FOR AN ADRENALINE RUSH
Get the heart pumping by stepping into The Edge, a three-metre glass cube jutting from the tower. The frosted glass slowly clears as you move, revealing the sprawling city streets almost 300 metres below your feet. A dramatic soundtrack amplifies the moment, making the reveal even more thrilling and dopamine-inducing. If you prefer otherworldly adventure, the Voyager Theatre’s multisensory virtual reality experience takes guests on a cinematic and sensory journey through Melbourne’s most famous sights, transforming one date spot into many.
SWAP THE EXPECTED FOR THE UNEXPECTED
