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.

Marilyn_L, Apr 2026

Breathtaking views!

This is an amazing experience and i would highly recommend to everyone. There were no issues in redeeming the voucher for a ticket. I arrived as the tower opened so avoided large crowds. The view is phenomenal. I was able to have a coffee and muffin in the cafe. The elevator is operated by staff so very easy to navigate. Truly a wonderful experience.

Jason_E, Apr 2026

What a way to see Auckland

The views were spectacular. I booked in advance to miss the queue which wasn’t that big to be honest.
