Melbourne attractions

Melbourne attractions on this page range from observation decks and theme parks in the city to wildlife parks and steam trains a short trip out of town. Single-entry tickets sit alongside passes that bundle several stops, so you can book one landmark or build a few days around the Melbourne Skydeck, Luna Park and LEGOLAND Discovery Centre.

City attractions in the CBD, Southbank and Docklands

Melbourne Skydeck entry tickets take you to Level 88 of the Eureka Tower for 360-degree views of the city, lit up after dark. Add the Edge Experience if you want to stand in a glass cube suspended 88 floors up.

ArtVo Melbourne in Docklands is a trick-art gallery across 1400 square metres, with more than 80 hand-painted images in 9 themed zones. You step into the artworks for photos.

Family attractions in Melbourne

LEGOLAND Discovery Centre general admission at Chadstone includes 2 LEGO rides, 10 build and play zones, a 4D cinema and a factory tour. The LEGOLAND and SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium combo adds the aquarium's marine animal displays and daily shows to the same booking.

Luna Park Melbourne unlimited ride tickets cover day entry to the St Kilda park, through the Mr Moon mouth. There are rides for little ones and for thrill seekers, plus carnival games and food.

Melbourne attraction passes

A pass makes sense when you plan to see several places. The Melbourne Unlimited Attraction Pass covers 2 or 3 consecutive days with a choice of 15 or more attractions, and the Melbourne Flexi Attraction Pass lets you pick 3, 5 or 7 experiences instead.

Both draw from a list that includes the Melbourne Skydeck, Melbourne River Cruises, Melbourne Museum, Cooks Cottage, Werribee Open Range Zoo and Royal Melbourne Zoo. The unlimited pass suits a packed itinerary, and the flexi pass a slower trip.

Wildlife and steam train attractions near Melbourne

Puffing Billy return tickets from Belgrave to Lakeside put you on a heritage steam railway through the Dandenong Ranges, running since 1900. The carriages are open-sided, so you can dangle your legs out the side, and Emerald Lake at the other end is good for a walk or a bike hire.

The Phillip Island 3 Park Pass covers the Penguin Parade (general viewing), the Koala Conservation Reserve and Churchill Island Heritage Farm. The reserve has elevated boardwalks for close koala viewing, and you can book Koala Conservation Reserve entry on its own if that is your priority.
