Complementing the lifts of the Skydeck which are required to be in excellent working condition day in and day out, are some 3,680 stairs that certainly hold their own and interestingly enough, remain part of the appeal of calling by this attraction. The biggest vertical race in Australia is held annually and the location of the same is the Skydeck where eager participants can be seen attempting to out-race each other en route to successfully reaching the 1,642nd step which is the finish line of what is termed the 'Eureka Climb.' Therefore, if contemplating ways by which you may reach the Skydeck and also, join in the enthusiasm and competitive nature of the race itself, look to be based at Oaks Melbourne on Market Hotel which is one of the hotels near Marvel Stadium and further, a mere 10-minute walk from Eureka Skydeck.
