Clock Tower Tour
Discover the hidden secrets of your heritage-listed City Hall building with a guided tour of Brisbane’s iconic Clock Tower. The Clock Tower Tour is a “must do” while in Brisbane! For many years, City Hall’s Clock Tower elevated the building to Brisbane’s tallest, offering visitors a magnificent 360 degree view of the city around them. Whilst the view has changed significantly over the last 90 years, the time-honoured tradition of “taking a trip up the tower” happily continues at Museum of Brisbane. The Clock Tower Tour includes a ride in one of Brisbane’s oldest working cage lifts, a look behind Australia’s largest analogue clock faces and time to explore the observation platform that shares a unique perspective of your city. See if you can catch a glimpse of the bells! Make a booking online today to secure your spot! Spaces are limited and fill up quickly.

Smoke and Mirrors
Smoke and Mirrors pulls you into a world where nothing is quite as it seems. Set inside The Fox’s Tail but far beyond cliché, this bold and intoxicating show peels back the glitter to reveal the women beneath it — fierce, flawed, and gloriously complex. It’s a dance between power and performance, between what’s sold and what’s felt, between the fantasy you pay for and the truth you weren’t ready to see. Seductive, razor-sharp, and laced with heart, Smoke and Mirrors isn’t just a night out — it’s an invitation to look deeper.
K Mak at the Planetarium
Angel Strings merge the divine majesty of the outer universe with sublime string quartet repertoire. Featuring works by Philip Glass, Ravel, Max Richter, Karl Jenkins and Elgar with stirring tailored visuals on the domed ceiling of the planetarium. Repeatedly selling out Brisbane and Melbourne, grab a ticket before they go! For classical music lovers and non-classical music lovers. “It was really good except it made Mum cry” “We’re still buzzing” “Truly immersive and cathartic” “I’d go again in a heartbeat – to both Angel Strings and to K Mak”
