Fantastic views overlooking Auckland, but go on a clear day. You can do a jump from the top and a walk around the outside ledge . more

They really try to make this quite the tourist attraction, since you can either take the elevator down, jump down or walk around the outside of the platform. Everything from the gift shop on the ground floor to the cafe at the top seemed overpriced and unimpressive. You do get a good view of the city, so it's an obvious... more

I really liked SkyTower in Auckland. Amazing views over the whole region and the viewing deck was WOW. Stand on the glass floor...if you dare! The main problem I had with this place was it was really commercial and everything was very expensive and overpriced. So while I recommend Skytower, I felt I paid too much for what it is... more

I always enjoy going to the highest point in each city and taking a view of the city. The Sky Tower in Auckland does not disappoint.

Wearing the fetching overall they supply (and I hasten to add, harness) and standing on the edge of a 192m drop is not an experience I’ll forget in a hurry. Suffice to say that looking down is just a little scary. I jumped the second time the guy on the platform gave the countdown and after a couple of seconds,... more

We've just returned from a fantastic tour of New Zealand and Auckland was the last place we visited and definitely one of the highlights of our holiday. We dined in the The Sky Tower's revolving restaurant, the food was brilliant and the views were fantastic. more

Went to Sky Tower on Day 1 in NZ view was nice and it was easy to find (walk in the direction of the tower). Gives you a nice view of the city, sailboats, parks, etc. Nice giftshop and informational video in the basement. And a lady standing in the waiting area gave us a free ticket, bonus! more
