The Sky Tower provides a panoramic and breathtaking 360-degree view of the city and is a must do for first-time visitors to Auckland. I visited on a sunny and clear day, so the view was absolutely stunning. I also managed to watch someone doing a jump.
Unique experience. The city views are amazing and very beautiful. If you are in the city with time, I recommend checking with an app what time the sun sets so you can see the sunset. This way, you can see the city during the day and at night. At the entrance, they take a photo of you that you can buy later if you want. The souvenir coin you can buy for only $3 is very original and doesn’t take up space in your suitcase. The only thing I didn’t like was the highest level. It’s a very small space and there was a bad smell. The rest was very comfortable and nice to walk around. You can also sit at the bar to drink coffee or something else. There is also an ice cream shop. Prices are the same as in other places in the city
Beautiful and well thought of sky over in the middle of the city. I suggest that you visit the store the last day of your trip so that you can appreciate and see the places you have been going around. The observation deck has three levels. One is the main of the territory then there’s a high observation deck and the third one is a restaurant which has nice coffee and an ice cream bar and everything is fantastic. Not over pricing.
This was my eighth time to go up in the sky tower. It is an amazing place to visit as a tourist or a local. The entrance is through the glass sliding doors next to the base of the tower and down the escalators. The ride up is to the 51st floor. The Cafe a couple of floors up is the best to sit in and watch the city. The cost is very reasonable too. The views from there are amazing and during the winter very few people are there where it makes it more fun to walk around. It is a must see place in Auckland.
This is my third time in Auckland, but my first time going up the Sky Tower. Thank goodness we did it! It's so much cooler and taller than the Space Needle (cough). We went at sunset which made it even more special and we watched a person do the Sky Fall. Now I don't have to do it! Highly recommend this. Well worth the price!
