Landmark 60-storey tower with panoramic views, bungee jumping & a high-end revolving restaurant.

👍👍 Another beautiful volcano crater in Mt Eden area. This place is less popular than Mt Eden Summit. Hence, less crowded. However, this is a beautiful place for your morning/evening walks.

👍 Nice short walk to the top. No footpath so you have to walk across the grass until you get to the steps.

👍👍 Congratulations to Team NZ! Wonderful family environment, with food stalls, big screen tv, park.

👍 How does such a rare building like this survive. A beautiful example of Auckland's public architecture.
