Sydney Tower Eye
For the most breathtaking 360° views of Sydney, a visit to the top of Sydney Tower should definitely be on your must do list
Your visit to the iconic Sydney Tower begins at the base of the tower with the included 4-D Cinema experience where you will enjoy an awesome film showing off Sydney in all its glory with special effects you can even feel. Afterwards you will be whisked to the top of the tower by one of three high-speed double decker elevators in about 40 seconds. From there you will enjoy breathtaking 360° vistas of Sydney and it's beautiful harbour.
Sydney Tower, also known as the Sydney Tower Eye, or simply Centrepoint Tower is the tallest structure in Sydney and ranks as the 2nd highest observation tower in the southern hemisphere! Located on top of Westfield Shopping Centre, construction of the tower commenced in 1975 and it was first opened to the public in 1981. The overall height is 1014 feet above ground which is 1073 feet above sea level. The enclosed observation deck offers visitors a spectacular panoramic view of Sydney from 820 feet above ground.

We booked online and since there were not a lot of visitors in the late afternoon, we were allowed up early. The skies were quite clear, thankfully and we got some good pics. And a couple of good souvenirs at the gift shop up top. Great experience!

Had an amazing time at Sydney Tower Eye! The views at nighttime are absolutely stunning when the city lights up. The observation deck gives you a fantastic perspective of all the iconic landmarks. The food was nice, and a special shoutout to the friendly Italian staff member who made our experience even better. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in Sydney!

Must-see attraction in Sydney! The 360 deg views of Sydney are just stunning. We visited on a weekday during dusk and had a great time. We didn‘t even have to wait in line and it was very easy & quick to get up.
Tickets are a bit cheaper if you buy online, at least one day in advance.
Tip: If you‘re a visitor in Sydney, come here either on your first day to get an amazing overview of the city or visit on your last day to reflect on your journey!

It was okay honestly. They had free binoculars for you to take in the glamorous Sydney harbour view, and the observation deck really gives you a great 360 degree view. I am sacred of heights, so I was initially kind of not wanting to go, but it’s actually quite spacious and cosy up there. The only downside I would say is the super long wait 10-30 mins, apart from that it was a fantastic experience

Did the Sydney Tower Skywalk with my friend and a group of tourists, and it was honestly such an amazing experience. We had people from the US, Spain, and Italy in our group, which made it even more fun and social.
It was one of those really hot Sydney days (around 40 degrees), but our booking was for 7:15 pm, so we caught the sunset, and wow, the views were absolutely unreal. Seeing Sydney from up there as the sun went down was something special.
Huge shoutout to Laura, our guide, who shared so many great facts and stories about Sydney, and to Lara, who took care of the photos and made sure everyone had great shots. They both did an outstanding job and made the whole experience smooth, fun, and memorable.
I’d 100% recommend the Sydney Tower Skywalk to anyone, locals or tourists. Totally worth it.
