Set the visit up for a win
- Preview the plan in one minute: where you're going, what you'll do first, and how you'll leave.
- Use a tiny visual plan (3 steps). Example: “arrive → do one thing → snack + go”.
- Agree on a “done” signal (card/hand sign/word) so leaving isn't a debate mid-overload.
Your calm-down kit
- Noise: headphones/ear defenders + a comfort sound or playlist.
- Light: hat/sunnies/tinted lenses + a “face away from lights” seat plan.
- Body: chewy/fidget + something heavy-worky (stretch band / push-the-wall game).
- Fuel: safe snack + water (hangry looks like overload).
Your reset protocol
- Lower demands fast: fewer words, fewer questions, slower pace.
- Move to your “exit spot” (outside / car / quiet corner). Safety beats finishing the activity.
- Co-regulate: calm voice + simple choices (“outside or bathroom?”).
- After: recovery time counts. No post-mortem in the moment. Debrief later if needed.

Here's your MTWM game plan for The Landing Rooftop.
Timing tip: Weekday mornings (calmest window)
Crowd levels can vary. A short wait is okay, a long wait usually isn't.
Sound can build. Have a volume-break option (outside / toilet / car).
Lighting can be mixed. Bring hat or sunnies just in case.
First 10 minutes: do a quick lap, pick a “home base”, and keep demands low (orientation beats achievement).
Accessibility: wheelchair entrance isn't confirmed on Google. If this matters for your family, a quick call/message is safest.

Stephanie was super helpful and nice. The drinks and food were amazing and dessert was beyond delicious! The view is unbeatable. Highly recommend.
Im the melbourne gaurdian angel, I declare this the place
The experience was profoundly disappointing. While the customer service was commendable, the same cannot be said for the food. I visited for a birthday celebration and we ordered crab cakes, steak, vegetable sides, rice (ginger lemongrass and Spanish rice), burgers,…
