The many galleries and tanks of SEALife Melbourne is something that’s hard to take-in properly on one visit, so their $95 per year unlimited visit ticket may be just the shot for you. Not only does it give you unlimited visits to SEALife Melbourne, but also to the top 10 Merlin attractions around Australia and New Zealand. It’s called the Merlin Platinum Annual Pass, and it also gives you exclusive benefits and deals. It’s worth it to just be able to pop in at any time and watch those Gentoo Penguins parading their stuff in their icy home.

They say Melbourne experiences four seasons in a day, therefore the view of Melbourne from the top of the Eureka Tower can change from hour to hour, let alone between the seasons. This makes a $60 per year membership of Eureka Skydeck great value. Even the difference between taking in the view during the early morning compared with the view at sunset can be amazing. The annual membership also lets you bring friends and family with you at 20% off their admission price, as well as 20% of the Edge Experience and everything in the gift shop. Greater Melbourne looks like a giant Legoland from level 88 of Eureka Tower, which is something that you will never get tired of watching.
