Summer Beach Box 2019
You can float high above the city in a beach-themed Melbourne Star cabin complete with rosé and deck chairs.
Overview
This summer, Melburnians can enjoy a big dose of coastal cool without leaving the city. And all while cruising through the sky, peaking at around 40-storeys or 120-metres high.
It's thanks to the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel's new season makeover, which has seen some of its private cabins transformed into colourful summer beach boxes, replete with deck chairs and pool toys, for a second year.
The Docklands' tourist attraction boasts sweeping 360-degree views across Melbourne and its surrounds, from the Mornington Peninsula through to Geelong and Mount Macedon. And from December 14 until February 29, they're best enjoyed in a fun new light, as part of the Star's Summer Beach Box Experience.
You can book in for a private 30-minute flight in one of the new temperature-controlled, beach-themed cabins, soaking up those panoramas while sipping rosé (or beer) and grazing through a selection of cheeses — all included in the ticket price.
Round up the crew for an eight-person session priced at $29 each, or to share the experience with just one special someone, opt for the $200 two-person flight.
The sky-high beach boxes are available to book between 11am–8.30pm, running daily except for Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and Australia Day.
