About
The story bridge is Brisbane’s most iconic structure, rising above the city. It’s the best way to get a unique perspective of the city and its surrounds, from the glass house mountains in the north to the bay in the east and stretching down towards the Scenic Rim mountains in the south, along with the best view of the Brisbane CBD and its surrounds. Come climb with us!

The perfect weather offered for this twilight climb provided 360 degree clear views of Brisbane cbd and surrounding mountain ranges. As compared to the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb, this one is less technical requiring less agility to climb. Climbing the familiar attraction enables the beauty of Brisbane to envelope you while bearing the stories of her past from the guide.

Fantastic experience climbing the bridge. Amazing views and interesting commentary with history of the local area added in.
You would need to have a reasonable amount of fitness to climb the bridge as some sections are quite steep and you could be left behind if you can’t keep up with the group.
Only disappointment is the extra charge for somewhat average digital photos of individuals and the group you climbed with. Most people probably will purchase the pack as you can’t take your phone or camera with you, but it really isn’t worth the $24 for the set.
Otherwise a really good experience!

Definitely recommend the climb to do as something that Brisbane offers.
Truly appreciate the way the staff handled the way I arrived. I was very flustered and upset as I was stressed that I wasn't going to make it on time. I arrived bang on the climb start time (but it's ideal if you are there 10 minutes beforehand) but public transport and my google map reading skills disadvantaged me.
Everyone was very happy when I arrived and Beau did a superb job at his tour skills and took fantastic photos.

I'm glad I asked our guide to take plenty of photos of us and the bridge itself and he didn't seem put out by this, quite knowledgeable as well. Sign in process easy and no trouble on the climb - didn't feel hot up there as there was a nice breeze. Good views to be had, would've been nice to get a certificate of achievement though.

We loved it! Alex The engineer was our guide. My 10 year old sons name is also Alex, and he wants to be an engineer when he grows up. I forgot to tell (Big) Alex that. Both Alex conversed from start to finish and (small) Alex got over his fear of heights and cometed the bridge 🌉 ❤️😊🙏✊️ amazing. Thankyou Alex , Your The Bomb Dot Com!

What a wonderful experience, the serenity of watching the sunrise perched on what must be the best vantage point in Brisbane! Jasper and the team ensured a magical experience and memories that will live on well past feet being back on the ground.
With Dawn climb ticked off I cannot wait to experience the day, the twilight, the night maybe even New Year's Eve!!! You could never tire of the views.... a must do for everyone young, old, visiting or local! Thankyou Story Bridge Adventure Climb for an amazing morning!

As two 62 year olds, we were quite nervous about this climb as neither of us are great with heights (something else that happens when you get older!). However, our guide encouraged us and wow the views at the top were special. We booked a twilight climb and the sun set while we were walking up to the top. The sky and the lights of Brisbane were amazing. Spectacular. We fought our fears and felt good for it - thank you very much

It was pouring down with no visibility, but no sympathy for an older person like me, no refund and no offer to book another day. Just an offensive policy.

No cameras or photography allowed on the climb. They do everything they can to hide this fact so let me be the one to tell you.
We got terrible teenaged guides who argued with us about the Gateway Bridges - they did not even know that they have been renamed.
A small point to be sure - but they were also, in addition to ignorant, boring and rude.
We paid for their services and endured their company for several hours. Ugh.
The climb was boring and too short (you only get to complete half the bridge) and slow, very slow.
Constant stops and starts. Ugh.
Give this bridge a MISS. It is a waste of time and it is a gamble regarding guides.
I would have enjoyed it more if it was the whole bridge we climbed and if we were able to go at our own pace.
I didn't need a guide - turns out I knew Brisbane better than those rude kids.

Tried twice to climb this bridge but it wasn't in the cards.
First attempt: Called ahead and only one slot available and would not let the 2 of us climb due to strict policy. Fine.
Second attempt: Our GPS froze up going through tunnels on the way and got completely lost on the way, showed up 15 minutes late as a result. We're from the United States so did not know the area at all. They told us we were too late and forfeited our climb and were not even allowed to do a shortened climb. We proceeded to walk onto the bridge and watch the group climb the bridge without us so obviously we had enough time to still climb. Strict policy.
Multiple emails with Paul and Megan but they politely refused to refund any money and again told me their policy was clearly says no shows and cancellations would result in no refund. I didn't feel that we did either but alas, $320 down the drain.
Long story short, we didn't get to climb but it didn't look like much of a climb anyways. Just walking up some stairs to the top and standing around on a platform for a while. The view standing on the bridge is just as good and that is free to do. They will not let you bring cameras up and will charge you for pictures afterwards if you want any also, so budget for that if you want them.
If you're going to do it make sure you show up early but my opinion, didn't seem worth it.

I am considering doing this with my mother who is 70. She she mobile and active. Would this be suitable for an older person?
Written December 4, 2019
If she is fit and active yes, there are a lot of stairs, but it is a slow walk and the whole thing takes a little over two hours. Best to do in the twilight session as is cooler. Regards Michael Fox.

Are the steps enclosed or can you see through them as you climb? Thanks

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate in calling us on 1300 254 627.
Kind Regards

Hi. I am looking at doing this attraction. Are we allowed to bring our own cameras?
Written July 22, 2016
Hi,
we didn't take the chance and left it with someone on the ground to take pictures. So we never asked the question.

How is the Morning or Day climb during April?
Written March 11, 2016
We did the morning climb in December when it wasn't too sunny but it must be pretty warm in an afternoon sun! Not sure what the weather's like in April. Check the weather forecast!

They offer dawn right through to dusk and night climbs, depending on the experience you want. Rain or shine.

Im bit of a bigger person, but quite fit and active. Just wondering if they have many sizes of the suits they give you. Would hate to get there and not be able to get my bum in a suit :P lol

Sarah I took my niece in May I'm 6ft and 115 kilos so I think you will be right for size. My niece is 6ft1 tall but quite a bit lighter than me

Thinking of doing our twilight climb late May or sometime in June.
What clothing is suitable to wear on our experience. Have already well worn good sturdy laced walking shoes/ boots.
I have a on going internal knee issue which I cope with but I am wondering if the rest stops and style of steps- height and steepness will be ok to allow me to do this experience.
Thank you
