    Goes without saying please Visit this!!! Absolutely stunning panoramic view of the whole city and beyond! What we Absolutely loved was that on the windows they have described what we are seeing and the meaning behind it. The staff is so courteous and they even have clear window panes to look underneath. We made a reservation but when we got there the lines were minimal (I'm sure because of covid) you can also dine there but definitely need reservation for that!

    The tallest building in NZ, and a must see when visiting Auckland. We took 2 kids with us around 430pm and stayed until it was dark. Unfortunately the revolving reasturant was not open for dinner, that would have been amazing. If you park underground on site the staff will clip your ticket to make the parking rate alot cheaper. Lovely and stunning full 360 degree views and we visited 2 levels.

    Weve been here many times with our kids. The view never gets old. Such an awesome experience just having a clear 360 view of the city is just amazing. The staff are all very welcoming and very friendly. The elevators are spacious and very clean. A must visit when in Auckland.

    Very nice place in the city. Great for wide panorama view but also for some refreshments. Yeah, it's a bit pricy but these places around the whole world are like that. So even a cup of good coffee is worthy here because the view around is just different as from the other places in Auckland. If you are willing to spend more time and money as well then you will never regret it cuz the food is also awesome.

    Sky tower a quick stop for a scenery look at the top. Definitely a do all it again. Best days would be clear blue skies. Unfortunately we had a cloudy day. Besides that we enjoyed the couple of hours of watching be-yonder. The kids loved it… My wife enjoyed our little Whanau outing. I’ll be coming back in a couple of months to jump off Sky Tower definitely a highlight watching the adrenaline junkies doing it… great quick visit no matter who you are. The staff professional and friendly, very helpful as well.

    Nice views from both decks. Crowded but well organized. Worth a 1-2 hour visit. NZ$75 for a couple in Dec 2023 plus add-ons if you want to try the walk or sky jump.

  • 3/5 Chris “BostonGreekGeek” V. 3 months ago on Google • 489 reviews New
    While this place is nice to visit and has a great 360 view of the city, there isn't much to do up there other than see the view. The passage around isn't very wide which is ok when it isn't busy, but I can honestly say if I went there when it was packed I would have hated the experience. The price is what your expect from high view towers, like the empire state building on New York or the tower in Japan. I think the price also goes by height so the snow state building costs more :p. So I've one big issue for me is how it can be tight. The other issue is that if you visit the place during the week, it closes at 8 and the sunset is at 830pm. So basically you won't get to experience it at night when I think the view would probably be better, (seeing the city so lit up) and you might get to experience the sunset. It also doesn't open early (930 am) so you can forget about going early to at least experience dawn. So if you are buying a ticket, check when the sunset is, to at least experience that The other tip, I would say is to go look at the lines to get on, and buy your ticket on a mobile phone (I think there is also free Wi-Fi so even if you don't have data, you can just use your phone with that). But do not buy the ticket if there is a long line. So it can be a good experience with a few caveats. We were lucky and for us it was almost a 4 star experience, but I know how most things went well.. although we still didn't get to go during sunset or night.

    Very iconic views and definitely worth it if you're making a trip to Auckland. Great way to see the entire city, grab a cocktail, or dinner reservations. If you eat at the restaurant, you get discounted tickets. Walking along the clear glass floor was a little scary, but super safe. Bungee jumpers can be seen jumping off which is neat to see. Elevators are extremely fast and overall it's a very easy experience.

    Seattle has their Space Needle, Toronto has their CN Tower and Auckland has their Sky Tower. All have similar purposes as a communication towers, tourist attraction/ Observation deck and iconic land mark that can be seen long distances away. I find these towers very useful as a visual land reference when walking about in an unfamiliar city. I also like how they change the light colours of the towers at night. It does create a post card look. If you like my reviews, photos or videos then reach up to the Sky and Tower over the like button

    Spectacular views, entry was included with our reservation at the Orbit Restaurant so that‘s a bonus! Really cool to see the city from above, some sections have glass floors (makes you realize just HOW high up you are!). A must do when you‘re in Auckland!

    A must visit in Auckland! Of all their activities we only tried the VR experience which was short but fun. Watched a man do the sky jump, looks very scary but fun!! Had a drink and snack at the cafe with awesome views. Pics don't do it justice. Definitely recommend a visit!

    The upper portion of the tower contains two restaurants and a cafe—including New Zealand's only revolving restaurant, located 190 m (620 ft) from the ground, which turns 360 degrees every hour.[8] There is also a brasserie-style buffet located one floor above the main observatory level. It has three observation decks at different heights, each providing 360-degree views of the city. The main observation level at 186 m (610 ft) has 38 mm (1.5 in) thick glass sections of flooring giving a view straight to the ground.[9] The top observation deck labeled "Skydeck" sits just below the main antenna at 220 m (720 ft) and gives views of up to 82 km (51 mi) in the distance.[10] The tower also features the "SkyJump", a 192-metre (630 ft)[11] jump from the observation deck, during which a jumper can reach up to 85 km/h (53 mph). The jump is guide-cable-controlled to prevent jumpers from colliding with the tower in case of wind gusts.[12] Climbs into the antenna mast portion (300 m or 980 ft heights) are also possible for tour groups,[11] as is a walk around the exterior.[13]The tower is also used for telecommunications and broadcasting with the Auckland Peering Exchange (APE) being located on Level 48.[14] The aerial at the top of the tower hosts the largest FM combiner in the world[9] which combines with 58 wireless microwave links located above the top restaurant to provide a number of services. These include television, wireless internet, RT, and weather measurement services.[9] The tower is Auckland's primary FM radio transmitter, and is one of four infill terrestrial television transmitters in Auckland, serving areas not covered by the main transmitter at Waiatarua in the Waitākere Ranges. A total of twenty-three FM radio stations and six digital terrestrial television multiplexes broadcast from the tower.[15][16] Two VHF analogue television channels broadcasting from the tower were switched off in the early hours of Sunday 1 December 2013 as part of New Zealand's digital television transition.[17]Fletcher Construction was the contracted builder for the project while engineering firm Beca Group provided the design management and coordination, structural, geotechnical, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, lighting and fire engineering services. Harrison Grierson[18] provided surveying services. It was designed by Gordon Moller of Craig Craig Moller architects[2] and has received a New Zealand Institute of Architects National Award as well as regional awards.[19][20][21] The Project Architect was Les Dykstra.[22] Taking two years and nine months to construct,[23] the tower was opened on 3 August 1997 The tower is constructed of high-performance reinforced concrete. Its 12-metre (39 ft) diameter shaft (containing four lifts and an emergency stairwell) is supported on eight "legs" based on 16 foundation piles drilled over 12 m (39 ft) deep into the local sandstone.[20][21] The main shaft was built using climbing formwork.[21] The upper levels were constructed from composite materials, structural steel, precast concrete and reinforced concrete,[21] and the observation decks clad in aluminium with blue/green reflective glass. A structural steel framework supports the upper mast structure. During construction 15,000 cubic metres (20,000 cu yd) of concrete, 2,000 tonnes (2,200 short tons) of reinforcing steel, and 660 tonnes (730 short tons) of structural steel were used. The mast weighs over 170 tonnes (190 short tons).[21][25] It had to be lifted into place using a crane attached to the structure, as it would have been too heavy for a helicopter to lift. To then remove the crane, another crane had to be constructed attached to the upper part of the Sky Tower structure, which dismantled the big crane, and was in turn dismantled into pieces small enough to fit into the elevator.The tower is designed to withstand wind in excess of 200 km/h (120 mph) and designed to sway up to 1 metre (39 in) in excessively high winds. As a safety precaution the Sky Tower's lifts have special technology installed to detect movement (such as sway

    Beautiful one in the middle of Auckland city. You can do Bunge Jumping from here and during New Year eve, this is a place for firework. It is a great landmark! The view at night from the waterfront is also incredible.

    Tallest building in New Zealand located in Auckland CBD. A Must when in Auckland. We enjoyed the view, the lift and revolving window. My children stayed for a while to get the glimpse of the city. Not too pricey, just reasonable. There is an option to buy combo to visit another attraction. My grandchildren loved it more staying on top. Highly recommended 👍

    Experience Auckland city from floor 53. Great views of the city all around. There is also a coffee shop and restaurant. Novelty shop on ground floor and plenty of photo opportunities.

    After lots of cloud cover from late morning till ~2pm, there was lots of sun to capture some great pics. After waiting in queue for a few minutes, purchased a ticket, bypassed 'photo opportunity' and headed to the first of 3 accessible levels, Level 51 - Main Observation Deck, followed by Level 60 - Sky Deck and then back to Lavel 51 and a quick walk down to Level 50 - Sky Cafe. Back up the stairs to Level 51 and headed back to ground level. Overall not too crowded and a great experience on each of the 3 levels.

    LOVED IT. the food and drinks were amazing. people may say it’s pricey but you pay for quality. The waiters are extremely nice and friendly. The view is beautiful. Best view you can get of Auckland. our waiter is called ‘hui’ she is so nice and super friendly. If I was to come again which I will I hope she is my waiter.

    A must do experience for visitors to Auckland, as you get a great 360 degree view from high above. I would recommend going further up to the higher viewing level at Sky Deck first for a better viewing experience. Less people and clearer glass. Walk over the glass floor, look underneath as you go up the elevator. Buy tickets online to save money and time

    Who doesn’t like a tall tower in a city? This one is pretty great, great views around the city and visual guides to show you what you’re looking at. It was fairly busy when we went but the lines weren’t very long. You can even jump off the top if you’re an adrenaline junkie, it wasn’t for us though! The views over the bay on a good day are excellent.

  • 5/5 Ryan N. 11 months ago on Google
    Worth the time and money to have an incredible view of the greater Auckland area. Beautiful perspective to see it all from that height. Tickets can be purchased in advance, but we found in the lobby some promotional material including a 20% off coupons/voucher that we were able to use when we purchased tickets at the entrance. The savings made it much more reasonable. A few of the levels were closed for renovation or something as we weren’t able to access the cafe. They did have a temporary one on the ground floor where they allowed purchase of coffee, snacks, and drinks that were permitted up to the top.

    The Sky Tower is a remarkable piece of architecture. The views of Auckland are absolutely stunning and no photo or video can replicate. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. There were binocular viewers that look like they needed a coin to operate but they were free for use. I highly (pun intended) recommend this attraction.

    I give it 5 stars, however, with a minus. You really get amazing views of the Auckland. You see the city sprawling out to all sides. However, comparing with similar attractions in similar countries it is a bit shabby and aged.

    Used our free $100 Auckland voucher today which included $25 free gift card for the gift shop. The front counter person didn't mention anything about it, it wasn't a big deal though. All the staff mbrs we came into contact with were friendly. My kids enjoyed it. It was busy, but not over crowded. Worth the freebie, however I forgot to validate my parking n since we were there all up less than 1h10mins my parking was casual rate of $24 😢😢 will return in the near future

    Stunning views of Auckland in a restaurant that rotates slowly around providing you with a panoramic snapshot of this part of NZ. Decent for a business meeting or a special date. The food was good, not great, and the prices were a little high. They only have a fixed menu to select from...

    Great views over Auckland. It cost us $60 for two people to go up to the viewing deck. The cafe is decent and does a good range of ice cream, wines and cheeseboards amongst other things.

    Very good. Prices are a bit steep but if you’ve never been it’s a great experience! I would recommend trying to visit on a sunny/clear day as on foggy days it can be hard to see Also recommend going up to the sky deck, which is the highest level; it doesn’t cost anymore and provides a massive view.

    If you are visiting Auckland and have time a must is the Sky Tower. Once up the Sky Deck which is the Main observation area you can get 360-degree view of Auckland and on a clear day the views are just phenomenal, it's said you can see 51 miles from the sky tower. Yes I wouldn't say it's a cheap experience but it's certainly worth it even if it's just once you do it. The tower also is so well built with high strength, high performance concrete, it's also suspected that during up to a 8.0 magnitude earthquake the tower would still stand and honestly you can believe this by just looking at it. When visiting we found the staff to be very welcoming and friendly and overall there isn't much else to say other than look at the pictures and see for yourself if it's something you want to witness for real.

    A must see place in Auckland. Beautifully designed and constructed the Sky Tower is a fabulous place to visit for free. Watch people bungee off the top and come at night for the magnificent light's they have on show.

    A great way to see the whole city and enjoy the sights. It's also a thrilling time if you want to bungee jump or do the Skywalk which isn't for the faint of heart. The sky bar is also very enjoyable.The trip to the Sky Tower in Auckland was exhilarating. The panoramic views from the observation deck were breathtaking, offering a stunning perspective of the city and its surroundings. The glass floor added an extra thrill, making it a memorable experience. Well worth it. Great information bites everywhere, and the staff were excellent, friendly and informative. The dining experience is awesome! You can see the 360 degree view of the city while enjoying your dinner an a glass of wine. Cheers!👍

Whether day or night, the scenery is unforgettable. The staff was welcoming and the experience was seamless. An absolute must-see for anyone visiting Auckland!

  • 4/5 kitnkat n. 5 months ago on Google • 97 reviews
    Two of us did the 'sun and stars' entry today. This allows a day and a night visit. Well worth it. The stars experience was wonderful on the upper level (60). Great information bites everywhere, and the staff were excellent, friendly and informative. I would have liked a Cafe onsite. The bar would have done, but with no under 18s allowed, it was not an option. It would have been lovely to just sit with a coffee and look out. Maybe a dining experience will need to be next visit.

  • 4/5 Omkar U. 3 years ago on Google
    The idol of the city of Auckland! the 27th tallest tower in the world. It has become an iconic landmark in Auckland's skyline due to its height and unique design. SkyTower is the tallest structure in the Southern Hemisphere, this tower is more than 300 metres high. Offering stunning views, along with award winning restaurants, a gift shop and an opportunity to push your limits by walking the outside of the viewing platforms, or by jumping off from 192 metres above Auckland's CBD

  • 5/5 Dixsee T. 3 years ago on Google
    We were the first visitors of the day and therefore got 360 degree views without having to wait for people to move on. It was a relatively clear morning and interesting to find the points of interest that are marked on boards around the viewing area. I had no idea there were so many volcanoes near the city!

  • 4/5 Michael B. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Ramsey Van L. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 sumeet c. 3 years ago on Google
    This is a must visit place if you are in Auckland and Sky Tower happens to be the highest structure in Southern hemisphere. Top deck and restaurant is amazing and the view is spectacular 👌, specially the water front.

  • 4/5 Shaun H. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome experience. The only thing I would suggest, toilet needs cleaning more often, and they can spray some air freshener every now and then on the viewing deck.

  • 5/5 Thomas J. 3 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) Sky Tower 328m is only about half the height of Sky Tree, but it's a Auckland specialty. It's about 800m from Hobson Street in the middle of the city from the harbor. The tower has a restaurant and an observation deck. I couldn't come because it was a tour and I arrived early in the morning, but I could see it well from Key Street. (Original) Sky Tower 328mの高さはスカイツリーの半分くらいしか無いですが、オークランドの名物ですね。 市街の真ん中辺、ハーバーからホブソンストリートを800mほど行くとある。 タワーにはレストランと展望台です。 ツアーなので夜着き早朝出るので来ることはできなかったが、キーストリートからはよく見えました。

  • 5/5 Adela W. 3 years ago on Google
    I honestly rate the Sky Tower so highly. It is beautiful, bold and majestic. My favourite pastime is guessing what the colours represent when it lights up at night. Regardless of the colour it always looks stunning and I feel blessed to be able to look at it through my bedroom window every night. If we ever need a symbol that represents all the amazing things civilisation has achieved it would be the Sky Tower. It has done so much for humanity, 5 stars.

    Really nice visit up to the top, there is a cafe just a staircase below the viewing deck. Really good tea and cake. Definitely worth a look if you're a tourist or a local. They have an interesting information video at the bottom which i recommend watching before you f o up because it does have some interesting points about the tower.

    Definitely worth it. It's fast elevators and sheer height make it a great attraction for tourists and locals. Being up that high can definitely be scary, but also enthralling. Especially the upper most floor, that has glass floors and windows so you can see all around and below you. A nice thing to add to your to do list if you're ever in the area!

    We all enjoyed our trip up the sky tower. There is a few queues to get through but nothing too major.

    Do something new New Zealand! Courtesy of Tamaki Makaurau, we thank you! Supporting our locals. Quite a thrilling experience! Our fear of heights were overwhelmed by the warm welcome and greetings of the awesome staff. Incredible views of Auckland!

    It's quite commercialized but offers great views of the city and surroundings. Multiple restaurants in the top, we only visited the café which was fine. Sky jump is unavailable due to technical upgrades, but I've done it in the past and it's a memorable experience!

  • 5/5 Shashank D. 1 year ago on Google
    Obviously a must visit place in Auckland. The view from top is breathtaking as you will be seeing whole city from top and lot of clouds. You might not want to miss the thrill you gent in that elevator of going upside watchin the city while going up. The experience was mind blowing and must do the sky walk there to get more thrilled by walking on the top of Auckland city.

    A very good experience especially for tourists who want to see the beauty of Auckland from above. Would have been nicer if the lady on the 60th floor was patient enough in explaining things to the guests. ✅ Trivia ✅Nice view ✅ Cheesecake (must try)

  • 4/5 Shane de M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really cool view of Auckland from the top. Kids had "fun" looking through the glass floors, and the sky slide was fun, albeit a little pricey given the duration of the ride. It is a little pricey - cost us $90 bucks for a family of 5, and the sky slide was $15 per person for a bout 3 minutes - but I still think it was a worthwhile experience for our first ever trip to Auckland. The cafe is ok but it does get crowded at lunch time so just be prepared to wait a little while.

    An amazing view. Worth seeing if you're in the city There were a few people doing the sky jump, so we watched one from the 1st viewing area in the tower itself, and the 2nd from outside where the end point is. Very cool

  • 4/5 Ramin E. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved the Sky Tower, it is great to see beautiful Auckland from the top. Nice Cafe and shops. Awesome staff. I highly recommend visiting Sky Tower. Taking bus or trains to get the city can save your time, as there are some constructions around, and you might've trouble to find a parking.

  • 5/5 Matt F. 1 year ago on Google
    Right in the heart of Auckland this experience is pretty great. Not overly expensive for the walk around the viewing decks, the views are phenomenal. (If you want to do the Bungee Jump it did seem ridiculously expensive to me at nearly $300) That to one side, the glass bottom lift going straight up 192m is pretty exciting and standing on the glass bottomed viewing deck above the earth does get the heart fluttering a bit. Loved it 👍

    Friendly staff from the ground up to the sky deck. Good place to bring your visiting families. The album at the exit costs $55 which is overpriced, but somewhat expected at this touristy place. We visited on a Saturday but the place is not that packed. I recommend booking your tickets via Klook!

  • 3/5 Katy H. 11 months ago on Google
    Our visit was one and half hour before closing time. It was very crowded there. When you book online, you can skip the queue, but you cannot really tell (it would be good to put up a sign). Very badly managed who is going down and who up. We waited for the elevators, not really comfortable in too many people. On the top was few glasses broken and covered. You can see all Auckland. I’m

    Very impressive and fun experience. Was wonderful to see the city in such detail. Great dinner. Very romantic for a date! Was also an awesome double date location for our group. Great service all round. Perfect Birthday dinner location. Such fun.

    Beautiful spot to capture Auckland. Friendly team greet you and happy to assist with questions. Amazing views ... Caution though, if you wanting to grab a bite, they do clpse their restaurant early in the afternoon. So call or check website

  • 4/5 Gilbert O. 8 months ago on Google
    Iconic location with superb views from the sky deck, 360 degrees round the city. It's one to tick on your visit there. Whilst obviously a good landmark in the day, it is particularly stylish when lit at night.

  • 5/5 Corey N. 8 months ago on Google
    Such a beautiful view at night time, has the sky bar which was busy so opted for the walk around instead. Recommend booking if wanting to enjoy a beverage at the sky bar. Also 2 adults for 70 vs 40 pp was great value

    I'm happy to share my review of the Sky Tower! Our recent visit, starting from the 51st floor and ascending to the 60th floor, left us with an unforgettable experience. The moment we stepped onto the observation deck, we were greeted with breathtaking views that stretched as far as the eye could see. The city's beauty and vibrancy were on full display, creating a sense of wonder and awe. The transition between floors was seamless, and the journey itself was an adventure. It's evident that the Sky Tower team has invested in creating an enjoyable and well-organized experience for visitors. The staff's hospitality and assistance further added to the positive atmosphere. From the panoramic windows to the interactive exhibits, every element was thoughtfully designed to enhance our understanding of the city's landscape and history. Standing at such heights allowed us to truly appreciate the urban tapestry below. Overall, our visit to the Sky Tower was a highlight of our trip. The opportunity to see the world from a different perspective and capture incredible memories is something we will cherish. Without a doubt, this is an attraction that offers not just a good experience, but a truly exceptional one.

    Benn up here so many times over the years... But it still one of the most breathtaking views in New Zealand. Never disappoints even on an overcast day. The sky slide was EPIC!!! OMG it was so exhilarating, took me awhile to calm down afterwards.

  • 5/5 Julie F. 7 months ago on Google
    A definite to get a birds eye view of Auckland both day and night so worth paying the extra $7 to go up twice. Also did the skywalk which was amazing.

  • 5/5 Gio 7 months ago on Google
    Rise above and see Tamaki from a bird’s eye view 🦅 our whanau loved our visit. Stayed for a few hours. Kids were free to roam as everyone was nice. Staff smiling and happy to assist. A must do.

    The entrance is downstairs next to the Sky Tower. You can see it on the right side of the door. You need to buy a ticket. It is suitable for families. There is a restaurant and public toilets.

  • 5/5 Valerie F. 5 months ago on Google
    It was awesome. I was a bit nervous seeing how fancy everything was. But it was real chill. The food and its portions were amazing . Had a few drinks to test out the alcohol menu 😉😅🤣 . I enjoyed my time there and it was something special , something new. Also I thought I was going to get motion sickness, but not at all . The views are to die for and you don't even feel the movement, you just look up and realize your no longer look at the same view as before . Our waiter was lovely . Would 100% recommend for special occasions or not lolss .

    We really enjoyed going up the Sky Tower . Everything was well maintained and looking good. The view from the top is amazing. We also did the Sky Slide VR as it was affordable enough.

  • 5/5 Garry S. 6 months ago on Google
    Really nice place, with such a friendly and helpful staff. Must visit place if you are a tourist as you can see such a great, minded mesmerising views of whole Auckland city, including great views of ocean and harbour too. I recommend all the people, especially tourist to must visit it to complete your experience.

    Loved every bit of it lovely people. That were helping us out. I would totally do it again. Got a free Tshirt saying we jumped off the sky tower. Went straight to the the casino for a celebration drink after thank you sky jump people 🙌 🙏 👌 amazing 👏

  • 5/5 Joshua R. 5 months ago on Google
    The sky tower 🗼 was an amazing experience. I loved the 2 different levels to see city. I loved the elevator ride. It gives you a full prospective of the city views and the water views as well. The gift shop has some nice souvenirs like hats t-shirts and great coffee ☕ mugs as well as mini sky towers. the cost was 42 nz dollars.

  • 5/5 Mehdi A. 5 months ago on Google
    A must do in Auckland. I found Auckland very beautiful. Therefore, the opportunity to have a 360-degree view at the highest possible level was amazing. Apart from marketing of the photos taken, everything else was quite pleasant.

  • 5/5 Eugene M. 5 months ago on Google
    Amazing 360° views when you get up there! Such a cool view of the city and surrounding areas! Walk on the glass floor and look below to see how high you are! Highly recommend, but if you have a fear of heights, maybe stay at the bottom lol or confront your fears 😎

    A quick ride to the top via the elevator and outstanding views of Auckland spread out before us. The platform is a little shy of 200m above the ground and for the more adventurous you can do a 360° walk around outside (while attached to a harness) or even simulate a free fall off the side (being slowed by your lines before hitting the sidewalk). For the less brave, looking down at the tiny cars below, while standing on the thick toughened glass in the viewing platform, might be more than enough to make your heart race.
