Sydney Tower Eye Reviews
Rated out of 5![]()
Best experience ever!
We visited during the holiday season, so it was understandably very busy, but the experience was still absolutely amazing. The crowd was huge, yet the crew handled everything exceptionally well.
From the ground staff (Angie), to security during screening, and all the way to the observation deck team — everyone was cheerful, friendly, and genuinely helpful. Despite such a hectic day, every staff member had a big smile and was eager to assist.
Special mention to Lucinda and Luke for the Sky Deck tour — they did an outstanding job. Lucinda was full of energy, engaging, and extremely helpful, which made the experience even more memorable.
Overall, a 10/10 experience. Truly the best crew — keep up the fantastic work!

A must visit destination in Sydney. The views in a clear day are breathtaking. Unmissable. Do not miss the opportunity to capture memorable photos from this most iconic vantage point. Centrally located and close to all major shopping amenities.

What a beautiful view of Sydney. Highly recommend (pun intended) for anybody. Weather you are a first time visitor or life long Sydney sider to get up there at least once. This is the second time i have been up, as an ex Sydney resident i went up about 15-20 years ago, and although not much has changed in the tower itself, it has an unrivaled view of the city and surrounds, which has changed dramatically over that period. Unfortunately a bit of a smoggy day for us but still very glad we did it again.

This tower's observation deck allows you to see a great view of Sydney, however this tower is not very tall compared to other buildings around it, blocking the view of the opera house. Overall this is however a great deck and is great for taking photos and observing the city.

Breathtaking! I could have circled around several more times not taking pictures just admiring the beauty God created in the sky. Very grateful I could catch the sunset. Great value with the three attraction pass, but would have been a great value alone as well.
