How Kids-Friendly is SkyPoint Observation Deck?

Kids are admitted, family tickets save money, displays and binoculars are educational, yet under-12s cannot join the climb and there is no dedicated play or show area.

Considerations for visiting SkyPoint Observation Deck (with kids)

Positives:

  • Fast Elevator Ride: The high-speed lift reaches level 77 in 43 seconds, thrilling for kids.
  • Pram & Wheelchair Access: Ramps and accessible lanes allow strollers up to the deck.
  • Complimentary Binoculars: Free binoculars help kids zoom in on beaches and landmarks.

Challenges:

  • Sun Exposure on Deck: Deck areas lack shade in midday; bring hats and sunscreen.
  • Limited Seating at Peak Times: Window-side café tables fill quickly; book ahead or arrive early.
  • Age & Height Limits: Kids under 12 years or under 130cm cannot join the SkyPoint Climb.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: A 2 to 3 hour visit lets your family enjoy the views, interactive exhibits, and a snack break without rushing.

The views are incredible! I would have paid $44 just to look at the views, but for $44 you get entry to the observation deck, plus a buffet breakfast. The buffet has a wide variety of hot and cold options and plenty of gluten-free options. There's even a separate toaster for the gluten-free bread.

We visited in the morning and discovered they offer a breakfast buffet. It's a thoughtful idea to allow guests to enjoy breakfast with the view.

If you have a dreamworld annual pass you can visit without...
