Overview

Also known as the Southern Star, the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel is an enormous Ferris Wheel located in Melbourne's Waterfront City precinct in Docklands. Standing at a height of 120 metres above the ground, the wheel takes visitors on a 30 minute ride and provides spectacular sweeping views of Melbourne city in all its glory - including several prominent sites and landmarks such as the Port Phillip Bay as well as Mount Macedon and the Dandenong Ranges in the distance. The wheel itself features seven spokes - that represent the seven-pointed star of the National Flag - and 21 fully-enclosed and air-conditioned glass cabins that can accommodate up to 20 passengers at a time. A ride on the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel is recommended for travellers sight-seeing in Melbourne and for those who wish to observe the striking beauty of the surrounding cityscape.
