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.

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
