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. If you purchase tickets in advance you can take part in a guided tour of the glass floor Skywalk, a 2002 addition to the tower, where you will enjoy an even more exhilarating experience from 879 feet up.

Your Sydney Tower Eye experience can also include dining with a view from either of two revolving restaurants, one featuring a full menu and the other offering a buffet.

Sydney Tower Eye Reviews

Rated 4.4 out of 5 Star Rating

4 Star Rating Sydney Tower Eye was great! Good for tourists who want a great view of the city. $42 for one adult ticket so a bit pricey but I’d say worth it. We also did a photobooth while we were up there $10 for 3 slips with 4 photos which was quite good!

4 Star Rating Sydney tower eye. An Iconic must do experience wire in Sydney. Offering 360° views of Sydney from all angles that you’ve never seen before. Located conveniently within Westfield Pitt Street. You require tickets before entering. Along with passing through a short security check then you’ll get into a lift taking you all the way to the observation deck. There is a cafe/convenient store at the top of the tower observation deck offering light meals and beverages. Amenities at the observation deck and at the bottom of the tower . Gift shop located at bottom of tower . Staff are friendly and helpful . Multiple carparks surrounding for parking. Would recommend .

5 Star Rating Omg. What a beautiful experience. At first, I thought that I would be uncomfortable being up so high. I was so wrong. The views are absolutely breathtaking. It was also great to be around other people enjoying the same experience. While in the elevator on the way up, we were even able to smile and wave at other people in another elevator and see their reactions on a screen. A super fun time was had. For a greater value, you can purchase combo tickets for Sydney tower, Sydney zoo, and Sydney aquarium.

4 Star Rating We visited the Sydney Tower Eye as a family, and it went really well. It was a great experience to see the city from such a high point. The escalators were smooth and worked well. Some of my family members felt a bit scared, but a staff member stepped in and was very kind and helpful, which we appreciated. Overall, the staff were extremely helpful. We took photos at the photo booth, but the quality wasn’t as good as before when they used professional cameras like Canon. The current setup seems to use a special camera, and while the photos were okay, they lacked the sharpness and clarity we expected. The experience itself was enjoyable, but after about 30 minutes, the view doesn’t change much, so it can start to feel repetitive. It’s definitely something nice to do, but it’s not a must-do activity on its own. It would be better to combine it with other attractions in Sydney. I recommend buying a combo ticket that includes the Sydney Tower Eye along with other places like the aquarium or the wildlife park. Buying two or three attractions together gives you more value, and the third one is usually added at a much lower price.

4 Star Rating This is one of the four attraction places from the four attractions you can buy from their official website. You can see the darling harbour, hyde park and nearby city, from this place. Very recommended to go during the sunset. Waiting time is more so please go accordingly. You have a sky walk, for which you need to pay extra. The experience is enjoyable but there's nothing more to explore after some time. It's just a deck where you can see the whole city. It's good to see the city from here for us visitors. We'll enjoy the view.
