EUREKA TOWER

**Taking four years to construct to its finest and safest, Melbourne's Eureka tower was officially opened in the year 2006. Being measures from top(the roof) and bottom the Eureka is the highest residential building in the world. It is 297 meters in height and consists of 91 stories above ground including the sky deck which is on the 88th floor. Only seven buildings in the entire world have more than 90 floors so this is a huge attraction in Melbourne. The sky deck is a place to view the tremendous city of Melbourne, it has a fenced outdoor area to feel the wind of our fresh air and a full glass box that projects 3 meters out of the tower where you have a beautiful view and get a look down of almost 300 meters below you. It is something that the whole family will enjoy but if you are scared of heights its advised to not go it but you can still enjoy the rest of ﻿ the sky deck instead. This is something that you have to see to believe because words can't describe how beautiful the view is or how scary the feeling is...So if you do want to enjoy something while you are here the Eureka tower is the place to go and is open everyday from 10 am-10 pm(see here for details []) **

//**"Wow", just looking up above to the Eureka from down below gives me shivers that run down my body. Standing near the entrance of the building is quite scary and for some people amazing, the tower looks as almost its tilted to the side so it looks like it is going to fall but no such thing would happen. **// //**While waiting for an elevator downstairs as soon as you enter there is all this information about the Eureka history and anything about any safety issues you have. It tells you about why the tower is slightly tilted and what you might find upstairs. We were waiting in the queue to go in an elevator in our group because only a few people can go in at a time. As soon as i stepped in the elevator and saw all the floors i complete freaked out and to think that some people actually live there. We started going higher and higher until we finally reached the 88th floor but the good thing was the elevator moved really fast so you don't have to be in there for a long time. **// //**The view is absolutely amazing, thou it would have been better at night it was still an indescribable experience. Federation square surprised me the most as it did not look anything like what i would have thought from the top. The fun part had not begun until me and my group bought tickets to The Edge where the excitement begins to the extreme. **// //**Standing in the box just before we started to move 3 meters out of the tower was the most scariest thing ever. And when it started to move out it was even worse, everyone was screaming and the scary thing was that it was tinted and you didn't know when the tinting would disappear so it was all glass. The glass is four meters thick so you feel safe enough to be in the box its just that it so high up and you can see everything down below you. The funnest thing to do and something you will regret if you don't do is lying down and looking straight down below you through the glass. This is an amazing experience and I doubt that you will see something like this again. **//  Previous Page Next Page Back to Journal
