Easily one of our worst travel experiences. Flew to Sydney expressly to view the NYE fireworks. The agent recommended the Tower restaurant and carefully phoned to check availability. All good, so we parted with $1,000. On arrival at 6pm, as instructed, reception advised doors opened at 8pm. OK, hang around for 2 hours. Exit the lift @ the top disgorged...

Owner description:
At 250 metres above street level, Sydney Tower Eye is the highest point in Sydney - perfect for finding your bearings or just taking it all in. It's the perfect place to start your Sydney adventure. With views stretching out as far as the eye can see in all directions, there's no better place to find your bearings. Sydney Tower Eye is a true year-round visitor attraction. Gazing out across the beautiful harbour city you'll be captivated by the views of stunning Sydney in all its glory. Crystal clear skies in winter make for the best viewing distances of the year, while in Spring the explosion of Jackaranda Trees covers the Eastern Suburbs in vibrant splashes of purple. Sydney is at its best in Summer, and guests soak up the city's laid back Summer vibe from the cool air-conditioned deck as the streets swelter below. Autumn brings gorgeous orangey glows and the best sunsets of the year - the perfect time to head out on a SKYWALK for 'that' picture of the city and harbour in the background.

The Sydney Tower Eye is something you should do when you first arrive in Sydney. It allows you to see the city attractions from above and helps to orientate yourself to the things to do in Sydney. Such amazing views and nicely set up. They also have little activities there for kids such as drawing and blocks in case their...

We got vouchers from Red Balloon and we decided to give this one a try as an alternative to the Sydney Tower Restaurant which is very expensive nowadays. We brought our 4-year old along and we enjoyed an impressive 360 degree view of Sydney, my all-time favorite city. We enjoyed the 4-D show very much. Would consider bringing visitors here...

This was a really good experience with a well informed guide to point out all the features that Sydney had to offer from up high; from Bondi to the Blue Mountains and in between.

Well worth $26 to see Sydney from the best vantage point. If you're game, you can spend a little more to do the skywalk but my husband was a chicken and wasn't prepared to wait for me to do it :(

Since we stayed in a hotel in CBD area, we walked up to the Sydney Tower Due to unplanned visit, we had to buy tickets for 26 AUD each from the counter whereas on line purchase of ticket costs 18.2 AUD This we discovered after purchasing the tickets!! Moreover, there is huge discount for senior citizens of NSW only which...

This was fantastic. You were able to see all of Sydney from on top of the tower. It was really beautiful and I would recommend it.

It seems expensive to go to the top only to take pictures, but there are computer screens to explain what you see. Plus you can see out into the Pacific.

We are a big fan of climbing on high towers and observatories, so Sydney tower was certainly on the list of things to do. Before you enter the observation deck there is a 4D movie about Australia which was really good. Nice view from the top of the hyde park, the opera house and overall downtown Sydney. Its right on...
