Coop's Shot Tower reviews
13The old 50-metre tall shot tower is located centre-stage on Level Two inside Melbourne Central shopping mall, (on the floor above Melbourne Central Station). The heritage listed tower is encased in a 20-story glass cone, apparently the largest of its kind in the world, and it's fascinating that the Melbourne Central shopping centre was built around it, preserving the 1889-90 shot tower.
A fun little museum. Note the museum entrance is inside the RM Williams store, which is accessed from a small landing mid-escalator.
Went to visit the shot tower but it was covered top to bottom in little mermaid movie adverts. I’m not talking small ads but the whole shot tower is covered in this ad you cannot see it at all. What a shame!
Good for a visit.
Check out the clock when it chimes too.
As you can see, it's all under cover.

This photograph was taken whilst taking a stroll around Melbourne back in the 1970's looking for subject material
Lovely erea, full of people with any religion and access to alot of brand shops like: rebel, coles, nike and restorants
Now this is really something worth seeing when you're next in Melbourne. How they managed to incorporate the original shot tower structure within the newly built shopping centre is a work of genius! It makes for some fancy photo opportunities as well.
Tiny museum that you have to go through the RM Williams store to see, but decent shopping centres attached to it
Not a really big museum, more like a RM Williams store with a room dedicated to the shot tower. With that being said it’s great to see them keep the historic old building functional and protected.
Very interesting place hidden at the back of a clothing shop. Certainly worth checking out if someone's interested in learning about the history of the most unique shopping mall in Melbourne.
A very small museum that has some informative display. A nice stopover if you happen to be in Melbourne Central.
I can't belive Its still standing. With melb central built around it. So beautiful. Love the place
