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. The tower is twice as high as anything else in the city, and on a clear day you can see a long ways (and obviously all of Auckland). The curve of the windows allows... more

The Sky Tower dominates the Auckland skyline. Only a few blocks from the waterfront is this tower which offers excellent 360 degree views over the city.

I love the towers in various cities and the views from them. This one is especially good. I didn't feel that spring the extra money for the couple of more floors was necessary. 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

What a view, the Sky Tower is definately a must see when you are in Auckland. The view of the city and the harbour is just superb. If you are brave enough there is a clear glass floor you can stand on where you can look straight down to the streets below. I wasn't ! more
