This attraction does what it says on the 'can' outstanding 360 degree views and a glass floor just in case you forget were you are. Pay the extra to go up to the top deck, glass walls, less people and extra height. More

It was something I am glad I have done, but it was just ok. We ate in the Japanese buffet as the top floor was full. The food was nice, sushi, oysters, salads and a massive choice of sweets but it was expensive and the tables are very close together so its loud and not at all intimate. Compared to... More

Concierge at hotel gave us a 2 for 1 coupon. Great 360 degree view of city. Awesome to see someone actually take on the 'dive' from the top of the tower! More

Dirty/fraying carpets in some places, marks on the walls, dust in places. The observation floor really does need a renovation for the money that you pay to go up. The glass floors are interesting. I didn't go to the restaurant so can't comment about that. More

worth a visit to the observation floor as it gives a good idea of the Auckland topography. Not worth spending too long More

I have taken many friends up to see the views. It is a lot of fun and a pretty low key way to entertain young kids. They love the glass floors! More

The best way to get a bird's eye view of Auckland is from Sky Tower. However, be clever and you won't need to pay the entrance to the viewing deck by either have lunch or dinner at Orbit, the revolving restaurant, and you will enjoy the magnificent view over the city and harbour. The food is really good although the... More
