About
At 250 metres above street level, Sydney Tower Eye is the highest point in Sydney - perfect for finding your bearings or just taking it all in. It's the perfect place to start your Sydney adventure. With views stretching out as far as the eye can see in all directions, there's no better place to find your bearings. Sydney Tower Eye is a true year-round visitor attraction. Gazing out across the beautiful harbour city you'll be captivated by the views of stunning Sydney in all its glory. Crystal clear skies in winter make for the best viewing distances of the year, while in Spring the explosion of Jacaranda Trees covers the Eastern Suburbs in vibrant splashes of purple. Sydney is at its best in Summer, and guests soak up the city's laid back Summer vibe from the cool air-conditioned deck as the streets swelter below. Autumn brings gorgeous orangery glows and the best sunsets of the year - the perfect time for 'that' picture of the city and harbour in the background.

Top ways to experience Sydney Tower Eye Observation Deck and nearby attractions

The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Central Business District
The Sydney Central Business District is abuzz with energy. Power brokers run to and from high rise buildings and after-work drink places, high-end shoppers tour venues like the QVB, and fine diners frequent the many celebrity chef restaurants. For a dose of culture, walk to the NSW Art Gallery, or visit the Sydney Museum. To escape the hustle and bustle, reconnect with nature at the Sydney Botanical Gardens or picnic lunch at High Park. No matter your interest, be sure to check the full calendar of events hosted by the city, from the Sydney Festival in January to October’s Good Food Month at Hyde Park.

    Great Views on a Clear Day
    The Sydney Tower Eye is landmark worth visiting while in Sydney. The views (on a clear day) would be amazing. Unfortunately, the day we were there the skies were overcast which reduced visibility. We did the outside walk at the top of the Eye. I would recommend it. Not only do you get great views, but the guides provide great information. For example, the cables that support the tower have differing degress of tension, so that, should the tower ever fall, it will land mostly in a park, to reduce damage and death. The total experience was well worth the price.

    Good views but expensive
    The views are okay but it is expensive and you can’t see the harbour bridge or opera house because views are obstructed by buildings. The lift is enclosed so you can’t see out. It’s a good experience but I think the cost of it per person was too much. We’ve done multiple similar in London - the shard and sky garden (which is free) which had open lifts and a cafe inside and good views of the city so think comparison may have let this down for us. On the plus side staff were friendly and lovely.

    Iconic Sydney skyline
    Sydney Tower, Centre Point iconic structure, still the tallest structure in Sydney, the 360-degree rotating restaurant (we had dinner there a long time ago). Next time we visit Sydney, must try Skywalk. (I have gait/walking challenges (stroke), wear a legbrace.)

Great overview. Helped to orient us after just arriving in Sydney. Met up with a local who had never been. They enjoyed seeing the landmarks too. Glad we went.

Entry fee is too expensive. View is nice but opera house and harbour bridge are blocked by other tall buildings.

Visited the Eye-Tower on a misty day and decided to sign up for the walk. Lucky us, we had a private tour as nobody else was there. Our guides Aaron :-) and Jake were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The view was good and we had a good time.
