Top things to do at SkyPoint Observation Deck

SkyPoint Bistro + Bar
1/8

Dine at SkyPoint Bistro + Bar

Enjoy a meal 230 metres above the Gold Coast at SkyPoint Bistro + Bar. The menu features share plates, mains, and cocktails, all served with sweeping ocean and skyline views. Ideal for a relaxed lunch, sunset drinks, or a night out.

Food and drinks are not included with Observation Deck tickets.

Take on the SkyPoint Climb

Step outside the building on the SkyPoint Climb. Harnessed and guided, you’ll ascend nearly 140 steps to the summit of the Q1 spire, 270 metres above Surfers Paradise. Choose from day, twilight, or night climbs.

All climb tickets include Observation Deck entry on the same day.

Explore the Observation Deck

Head to Level 77 for uninterrupted 360° views through floor-to-ceiling glass. Use touch screens to spot key landmarks or telescopes for a closer look. Seasonal events add variety throughout the year.

Ride the high-speed elevator

Start your visit with a quick ride to Level 77 in under 40 seconds. The smooth, high-speed ascent sets the tone for what’s to come.

Time your visit for sunset

Arrive just before sunset to watch the coastline shift from daylight to dusk, then stay on as the city lights take over.

Experience SkyPoint after dark

Visit in the evening for a more relaxed, social atmosphere. The deck feels livelier at night with a different energy from daytime visits.

Spot whales during migration season

Visit between June and November for a chance to see whales moving along the coastline from above.

Browse the gift shop

Stop by the gift shop before you leave to pick up souvenirs or small keepsakes from your visit.
