Sydney Tower Eye
For the most breathtaking 360° views of Sydney, a visit to the top of Sydney Tower should definitely be on your must do list

Afterwards you will be whisked to the top of the tower by one of three high-speed double decker elevators in about 40 seconds. From there you will enjoy breathtaking 360° vistas of Sydney and it's beautiful harbour.
Sydney Tower, also known as the Sydney Tower Eye, or simply Centrepoint Tower is the tallest structure in Sydney and ranks as the 2nd highest observation tower in the southern hemisphere! Located on top of Westfield Shopping Centre, construction of the tower commenced in 1975 and it was first opened to the public in 1981.

Sydney Tower Eye Reviews
Rated
out of 5 Stunning views of Sydney in every direction. Fun peering down on the rooftop gardens. Well organized, easy to turn up and buy a ticket in the morning without booking (midweek). Choose a clear day of course.

I would recommend booking online as there are cheaper deals. Usually most place's have cheaper tickets at the door but alot of Sydney attractions have promotions only available online. Also if you plan on coming for sunset hour be prepared as they get very busy and the queue to get on and off the elevator had a 15 min wait time. However once we were at the top there was enough room to walk around and sit at the window

Easy to get tickets when we turned up!
Amazing views.
We went at lunch, was pretty quiet but got busy very quickly.
We stayed at the top for about 30 minutes.

The Sydney tower eye was a great place to watch a view of the entire of Sydney with binoculars and information panels. But there could be more entertainment include in this package like the Melbourne sky deck/tower eye. There is also a sky walk option where you walk from the top of the tower to enjoy the breeze and taking photos.

Had an amazing time on the observation deck.
Spent an hour and a half here. Really enjoyed looking at all the Sydney landmarks. Many are labelled for you.
Great photo opportunities.
Cafe reasonably priced and make great hot drinks.
Would recommend. Have been about five times including at sunsets. It's awesome then too!
