Adults start from $29 online for a Classic Spin. Experiences and packages are priced separately, see Tickets & Experiences for the full list. All prices are in Australian dollars and include GST.

Your Classic Spin ticket is valid for a two-hour window, so you can arrive any time within it, join the line, and we'll scan your ticket before you board. Online, slots open every two hours. If we close before your window ends, your ticket is valid until our last spin that day, so check the opening hours and last spin times for your date.

Yes. Online is our best available price and locks in your 30-minute window. Walk-up tickets are around 20% more.

Walk-up is welcome, but online is cheaper and guarantees your spot, so we recommend booking ahead.

Peak pricing applies on weekends, school and public holidays and some event nights.

Yes, with a valid concession card shown when you collect or scan your ticket.

There are no height restrictions. Children must be supervised (see Can children ride, below). Cabins have a maximum weight, which our team manages on the day, so a larger group may be split across cabins to stay within safe loading limits.

Yes. Under-11s must ride with their own responsible adult in the same cabin, and under-16s must ride with an accompanying adult. After 9pm, everyone under 18 needs a responsible adult with them on site (a liquor licence condition).

Standard tickets are non-refundable, but you can change the date or time for free, as many times as you like, up until your session starts and subject to availability. The new session needs to be within three months. Change it yourself via the link in your confirmation email, or contact us. Catering packages (Romance, Picnic) can be changed up to 72 hours before.

Those bookings are managed by the provider you booked with, so changes and refunds go through them, not us.

Yes. Cabins are step-free and wheelchair accessible with level boarding, fully enclosed and climate controlled, and one carer per guest rides free.

The wheel turns slowly and continuously while you board, so most guests step straight into a moving cabin. If you use a wheelchair or need it to stop, just let our team know and we'll slow or pause it so you can board at your own pace.

Accessible parking is available in both District Docklands car parks, with lifts and step-free pathways to the Star. Accessible toilets are located throughout The District Docklands and one inside the Melbourne Star at the end of the Aero Bridge.
