Overview
SkyPoint Observation Deck, situated on levels 77 and 78 of the Q1 building, stands 230 meters above Surfers Paradise, offering an unmatched perspective of the Gold Coast. Once known as the Q1 Observation Deck and QDeck, it was rebranded as SkyPoint in 2010 after being purchased by Ardent Leisure. The express elevator whisks visitors to the top in just 43 seconds.From this vantage point, take in 360-degree views stretching from Brisbane to the north, the Gold Coast hinterland to the west, Byron Bay to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the east. The deck features a museum, weather station, and lounge bar. By day, enjoy the sun-kissed beaches and vibrant cityscape. By night, the deck transforms into a chic, high-altitude lounge bar with glittering skyline views.For thrill-seekers, the SkyPoint Climb offers an exhilarating experience. This guided climb takes you outside the observation deck to scale the exterior of the building. Fully harnessed, ascend to 270 meters above sea level for sweeping views of the Gold Coast. Whether enjoying a meal at the bistro, strolling the deck, or challenging yourself with the SkyPoint Climb, every moment promises awe-inspiring vistas.
