Crown Aviary offers a "breathtaking one-of-a-kind rooftop experience like no other", right in the heart of Melbourne. The dinner menu will be curated by award-winning executive chef, Kelly Jackson.

The formal dinner will take place on Friday 1 September, at 6:30pm. The price is $195 per person, or $1560 for a table of eight (both +GST).

The AIP has also coordinated discounted rates for accommodation at the Crown Promenade, and a number of other hotels within walking distance.
