What are people saying about Auckland Sky Tower

michael_e, Mar 2026

Well Worth a Visit

Very good viewing platform for Auckland, glass floors are great, you can see the jumpers as they fly passed and the walkers on the outside track. Bar prices were reasonable, only reason for not giving 5* review was the rude bar staff and the tables were not cleaned, had to remove the previous users glasses etc. ourselves.

Brad_D, Nov 2025

A good introduction to...

A good introduction to Auckland . Fun and located centrally giving you a view of the entire area. Tower also has adventurous activities like walking outside the building and hanging over the edge with safety harnesses and a 700 foot controlled jump to the bottom

Gina_A, Mar 2026

Worth the view
