Had an incredible experience at Sydney Tower Eye! The views from the observation deck are absolutely breathtaking, offering a 360-degree panorama of Sydney. The glass-floored viewing area is a must-see for those who love a bit of excitement! the experience was well organized. It’s the perfect spot to get a stunning view of the city, especially at sunset. Highly recommend for visitors and locals alike!

Sydney Tower Eye offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city, harbour, and even the Blue Mountains on a clear day. The observation deck is spacious and provides a great perspective of Sydney’s skyline. It’s a fantastic spot for photography, especially at sunset.
However, aside from the view, there isn’t much else to do at the top. While it’s a great experience for first-time visitors, it might not be as exciting for those looking for more interactive attractions. Still, it’s a worthwhile visit to see Sydney from above!

Great views. No queue to go up when we visited and we didn’t need tickets in advance, but I can see queues forming easily as the lifts are small. We did queue to go back down. Price is reasonable compared to similar towers in other cities. We spent about 30mins there

The Sydney Tower Eye offers a stunning view of the city, but it’s definitely a bit on the pricey side for the experience. While the general observation deck provides a breathtaking panoramic view of Sydney, the entry fee might feel a bit steep for what you get. If you're looking for a more interactive experience, the Tower Walk is an additional cost, which could add up for those looking to explore every aspect of the attraction.
That being said, the views are absolutely worth seeing. The observation deck gives you a bird's-eye view of Sydney’s skyline, the harbor, and beyond, and it's a fantastic spot for photos, especially on a clear day. The atmosphere is relaxing, and it’s a great place to take in the beauty of the city from a high vantage point.
While the Sydney Tower Eye may feel a bit overpriced, the views and the unique perspective of the city make it a worthwhile stop, especially if you’ve never experienced Sydney from such a height. Just be mindful of the extra costs if you’re looking to do more than just take in the sights from the observation deck.

I love going up the eye, it's a great experience for all ages with 360° views of Sydney. If you're a local like me, it's a great place to take visiting friends/family, & if you're a visitor, it's a must do, in my book. There is also viewing binoculars, a great photobooth, a great gift shop & refreshments kiosk. There are also no obligation photos available to buy of your experience at the end. I think it's value for money, I would definitely go again
