Sydney Tower Eye Reviews
Rated
out of 5 A great experience for sure. The view is amazing and it's a whole different perspective from up there which makes it even better.
We got the pass for multiple attractions so the price was quite good considering the experience. The staff was great and there was not much waiting time.
We went during the day so the photos of the people came out overexposed so remember to use your flash to balance out the lighting if you're after nice photos 🙌

Pretty cool view of the city! Little cafe up the top of you need a quick snack or a souvenir. The lifts up and down are speedy but there can be a line up as they only hold a smaller number of people. The Free binoculars provided are a bit of fun too. They’re fixed in place but the different height are a nice touch.

Great staff , managing crowd. Beautiful views of Harbour City 💗 from the tower.
A few downside: when we visited 7.30pm, it was too crowded, and we had to wait to get a spot to take a picture. Glass was not clean, so pictures don't really do justice to the beautiful view from the tower.

It was nice to see Sydney in bird’s eye view. You get a much better picture of this cosmopolitan and green city. We chose a late afternoon visit to see the sunset. It was worthwhile. The sunset that day was lovely. The biggest let-down was the windows - they’re seriously way too dirty. It was hard to get a good photo without taking in the marks on the window (see my photo). For a business that is based on giving a good city view, cleanliness of the windows should be top priority. Otherwise, the entrance was good, wait time wasn’t long. Overall, it’s a pleasant thing to do while visiting Sydney.
