Sydney Tower Eye

Charlie Lim 2 months ago

We decided to visit the Sydney Tower Eye during our family trip, and the views from the top were absolutely breathtaking. If you want a spectacular, 360-degree bird’s-eye view of the entire Sydney skyline, the harbor, and beyond, this is definitely the place to go. Standing at the top and looking out over the city is an exhilarating experience that the whole family thoroughly enjoyed. It gives you a fantastic sense of scale of the city, and the photo opportunities up there are incredible. ​The only thing to keep in mind is that the attraction itself is quite short. It takes only about 30 minutes to cover everything, look out from all angles, and take your photos. Because it is a relatively quick experience, it doesn't require a large time commitment, making it very easy to fit into a busy sightseeing schedule. ​While we wished the experience could have lasted a little longer, the sheer quality of the view makes it well worth the trip up. It is a fantastic, quick stop for anyone wanting to see Sydney from a completely new perspective, and it is manageable for both kids and elderly family members since there is very little walking involved once you are at the observation deck.

Nice experience if you're visiting Sydney. The views are great and it's a good way to see the city from above. There's an entry fee, but it's worth doing at least once. The lift ride up isn't as quick or exciting as Taipei 101's 😉, but the view at the top makes up for it. Glad we checked it out.

Sydney Tower was absolutely worth visiting. The 360° views over Sydney are stunning, and the lift is incredibly fast. I was at the top within seconds, with no waiting or long lines at all. The interactive guides and explanations made the experience even better because I finally connected all the different locations and landmarks around Sydney, and some of the perspectives were genuinely surprising. I also appreciated that it wasn’t overly crowded during the weekdays, which made it a really peaceful place to sit, take in the skyline, and wait for the sunset. The staff members were all positive, kind, and helpful throughout the visit. A great bonus is that you can get a discounted ticket when bundling Sydney Tower Eye with WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo and SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium. Since all three attractions are owned by the same company, the multi-attraction passes can save you a significant amount compared to buying separate tickets. One small thing to note is that the famous Sydney Opera House is partially obscured from some angles, and the Harbour Bridge appears a bit farther away than expected. Still, the overall experience and panoramic city views completely made up for it.

Gives a full 360 degree view of the Sydney city. It doesn't have the best angles to spot the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, but you can still spot them through the other skyscrapers that surround the tower. There are tower viewers around the observation deck if you want a closer look at certain areas. Enter through the Westfield Sydney mall on Market Street and go to the fifth floor to reach the Sydney Tower Eye reception. There are staff inside the mall who can guide you if you are unsure. We bought the 4 attraction pass for $65 dollars which is great value compared to buying each ticket separately. The pass includes SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo and Madame Tussauds wax museum. All four attractions are close to each other and easy to cover in a single day. The price can vary depending on how close your visit date is and how busy they are, so it is best to buy tickets online in advance. The views are especially nice during sunset. Definitely worth a visit if this is your first time in Sydney.

Must-see attraction in Sydney! The 360 deg views of Sydney are just stunning. We visited on a weekday during dusk and had a great time. We didn‘t even have to wait in line and it was very easy & quick to get up. Tickets are a bit cheaper if you buy online, at least one day in advance. Tip: If you‘re a visitor in Sydney, come here either on your first day to get an amazing overview of the city or visit on your last day to reflect on your journey!
