Brighton i360 Tickets

The cheapest Brighton i360 ticket on GetYourGuide is the View 360 flight at $27.32, and it is also the most reviewed: 4.63 from 1,391 reviews. The pod rises to 138 m (453 ft), per Wikipedia. A second ticket, the City Lights evening flight, costs $29.99. I’d go on a clear afternoon and stay for sunset.

Brighton i360 at a Glance

I found two tickets for Brighton i360 on GetYourGuide, and both are for the same pod, so the choice is about time of day rather than about a different attraction. One is a daytime flight and one is an evening flight with a drink. The numbers below come from Wikidata, Wikipedia and Open-Meteo.

What	Detail
Pod top height	450 ft (138 m), per the official site; Wikipedia gives 138 m (453 ft)
Pod	Fully enclosed, 18 m across, up to 200 people, bench seating and full wheelchair access, per Wikipedia
Address	Lower Kings Road, Brighton BN1 2LN (per Google Maps)
Opening hours	8 AM to 7 PM daily on Google Maps; check the official site for your date
Time to allow	A 25-minute flight on the View 360 ticket, 45 minutes for the City Lights Flight
Meeting point	Brighton i360, Lower Kings Road, Brighton, BN1 2LN, per the View 360 listing

“Brighton i360 is a 162-metre (531 ft) moving observation tower on the seafront of Brighton, East Sussex, England, at the landward end of the remains of the West Pier.”

Buyers of Brighton i360 tickets often mix up two heights, so here is the difference. The mast is 162 m tall. The glass pod climbs only part of the way, to 138 m, and that is the height your eyes are at when the pod is at the top.

Brighton i360 Observation Deck Tickets

There is no fixed observation deck here in the way a skyscraper has one. The viewing platform is the pod itself, a ring of glass that travels up the mast and back, and every Brighton i360 observation deck ticket is really a ticket for one flight. The View 360 ticket is the standard one. It costs $27.32 and carries a 4.63 rating from 1,391 reviews.

The listing calls it a 25-minute experience with a specified timeslot. It includes entry and a drink, and it gives access to the Sky Bar on board. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours ahead. The description also mentions Drift, the beachside cafe, and a shop with work by local artists, so you can fill time before or after your slot.

Reviewers back up these Brighton i360 tickets. One wrote that you don’t feel anything going up or down. Another said it was very smooth. The recurring warning is about timing, so take this one seriously.

“You really should arrive 20 minutes early, otherwise you won't be able to take part in the activity.”

Brighton i360 Tickets and Prices

Prices for Brighton i360 tickets are easy to compare here because there are only two. The View 360 ticket is $27.32 and the City Lights Flight is $29.99, a gap of $2.67. For that gap you swap a 25-minute daytime flight for a 45-minute evening one, so the evening ticket buys more time in the air per dollar, though it is far less proven.

Of the two Brighton i360 tickets, the City Lights Flight has 3.7 from only 9 reviews, which is too thin to trust the way you can trust the 1,391 reviews on the View 360 ticket. Two of its three snippets describe late running and a mismatch between the booked slot and the last flight, so read the date and time on your voucher.

Use the calculator for a group. It shows the per-person price times your party, with the booking link.

Brighton I360 Height

Before you buy Brighton i360 tickets, know what the height means. The tower is 162 m (531 ft) tall, per Wikidata. It opened on 4 August 2016, and Wikipedia describes it as a moving observation tower. The pod travels from street level up to 138 m (453 ft), which is the number that matters for the view, and the official site rounds it to 450 ft.

So if you see “Europe’s tallest moving platform” on a listing, that refers to the moving pod and the mast it climbs. When you compare Brighton i360 tickets with a skyscraper deck, compare 138 m with the skyscraper’s deck height, not 162 m.

Brighton I360 Prices

Brighton i360 tickets cost $27.32 or $29.99 on GetYourGuide. Beyond those two GetYourGuide prices above, there are cheaper routes, and all of them are for specific people. The official site lists a 7 pound ticket for residents of the BN1, BN2, BN3 and BN41 postcodes. It is walk-up only, can’t be booked in advance, and needs proof of address for each guest.

The same page says children under two go free with any adult ticket purchase. Everyone else buys Brighton i360 tickets at the GetYourGuide price or the venue price on the day. I did not find the venue’s adult price in a source I can cite, so I won’t quote it. Check the official site if you want to compare it with the $27.32 here.

Brighton I360 Reviews

Reviews of Brighton i360 tickets and of the ride itself agree. Google Maps rates Brighton i360 at 4.5 from 15,152 reviews, and the View 360 ticket scores 4.63 from 1,391 on GetYourGuide. The praise is steady: smooth flight, friendly staff, views over the city, the beach and the sea.

The complaints are also steady. People want more time at the top. One reviewer said they spent about 15 minutes there, and another wished they had stayed longer. A third had to stand outside in strong sun while waiting and wanted more shade. None of that is a reason to skip it, but it is a reason to choose a cooler hour and to arrive on time.

Brighton I360 Restaurant

No Brighton i360 ticket includes a sit-down meal. There is no sit-down restaurant on the pod. What you get is a drink at the Sky Bar on board, and the cafe on the ground, Drift, mentioned in the View 360 description. Google Maps lists the attraction as a tourist attraction and wine bar, which fits.

The City Lights Flight is the nearest thing to dining with a view. It costs $29.99, includes a welcome drink from the sky bar, and food is not included. This card is a leftover rather than a perfect match, so treat it as an evening drink in the sky and plan dinner separately. It is rated 3.7 from 9 reviews, which is why I’d book it for the atmosphere and not for reliability.

Brighton I360 Tickets 2 for 1

I found no 2-for-1 deal on the Brighton i360 tickets listed here, and I don’t want to point you to a code that may not work. Searches for these offers are common, which is why I checked. What I can verify is smaller: free entry for under-twos with an adult ticket, and the resident ticket for local postcodes, both per the official site.

If a deal does exist, it will be on the official site or on a voucher partner. Read the terms for dates, group size and whether it applies to the evening flight. GetYourGuide tickets have free cancellation up to 24 hours before, so you can book first and rebook if a better offer appears.

Brighton I360 Opening Times

Before you book Brighton i360 tickets, note that Google Maps shows Brighton i360 open 8 AM to 7 PM every day, but that looks like a general attraction listing rather than flight times, and the official site keeps its hours on a separate page. The evening City Lights Flight clearly runs after dark, and one reviewer said the last flight was at 9pm.

My advice for Brighton i360 tickets is simple. Pick your date, open the hours page on the official site, and then choose a timeslot. Because the View 360 ticket is a timed slot with a 24-hour cancellation window, you can lock a time and change it later if the forecast turns. In winter the lights go on early, since sunset falls before 16:00 in December.

Brighton I360 Discount Code

Tickets for Brighton i360 rarely come with a working code. I couldn’t verify a discount code, so I’m not printing one. Sites that list codes often recycle old ones. The discounts I can stand behind are the ones the venue publishes: the 7 pound resident ticket, and free entry for under-twos with an adult ticket. For a family, the official site also describes a Family Saver package, but I did not find its price.

A cheaper way to save is timing. Brighton i360 tickets cost the same all day on GetYourGuide, so choose the flight where the weather is best and you won’t waste your money on a grey one.

Brighton I360 Photos

Photos are not a reason to pay extra for Brighton i360 tickets, since every flight has the same glass. The pod is enclosed glass, so the photos are taken through a window, and clean glass matters less than angle. Stand away from the centre and you will have a clearer view toward the Palace Pier, 1.11 km (0.69 mi) to the east. Face west for the long run of the coast.

The best photo from the ground is the tower itself at dusk. The pod lights up, and Brighton Beach Bandstand, 0.29 km (0.18 mi) away, makes a good foreground. Take a phone, not a tripod. Large bags are on the not-included list of the View 360 ticket, along with glass objects and weapons or sharp objects, and tripods may well be refused.

Weather decides when to use your Brighton i360 tickets. In the 2025 Open-Meteo data for the tower, April was the clearest month, with 43% average cloud cover and 11.8 sunshine hours a day. May and June were next at 55% and 51%. October was the cloudiest, at 75% cloud cover, with January close behind at 73%. Book Brighton i360 tickets with that in mind. The data is Open-Meteo historical weather for 2025, so treat it as a guide, not a forecast.

Sunsets run from about 15:54 in December to about 21:16 in June. I’d arrive 45 to 60 minutes before sunset and book a flight around it, because that way you see the day light, the colour change and the first city lights in one visit. In summer that means a late slot, and in December a mid-afternoon one. The City Lights Flight is the better fit once it is dark all evening, but check the time on the voucher.

What You Can See from Brighton i360

With a Brighton i360 ticket you rise to 138 m, and the horizon is farther than most people expect. Set the calculator to the pod’s top height and you get about 42 km, or about 45 km with typical refraction.

The official site promises views across Brighton, the South Downs and the English Channel, and the View 360 listing says the Isle of Wight is visible on clear days. Below you, the closest sights are small: the Upside Down House is 0.09 km (0.06 mi) away, the Brighton West Pier remains 0.27 km (0.17 mi), and the Bandstand 0.29 km (0.18 mi). Farther along the seafront are Palace Pier at 1.11 km (0.69 mi), the Royal Pavilion at 0.94 km (0.58 mi), and Brighton Beach at 1.13 km (0.70 mi). Devil’s Dyke sits 8.3 km (5.16 mi) north on the downs.

Brighton i360 vs Other Observation Decks near Brighton

Brighton has no other ticketed tower of this kind, so the realistic alternatives are free viewpoints. The table uses Google Maps ratings and straight-line distance from the i360. The nearest decks on this site are in London, about 76 km away: London Eye, Sky Garden and The Shard.

Place	Google rating	Reviews	Distance from the i360	Ticket
Brighton i360	4.5	15,152	n/a	Paid
National Trust, Devil’s Dyke	4.7	5,261	8.3 km (5.16 mi)	Park on the downs, check National Trust
Brighton Marina Cliffs Viewpoint	4.4	23	4.22 km (2.62 mi)	Open scenic spot, no ticket listed
Foredown Tower	3.7	17	5.59 km (3.47 mi)	Check the council site

Brighton i360 tickets cost money and the hill views do not, so the comparison matters. Devil’s Dyke gives you a hill view across the downs with a rating of 4.7, but not a flight over the seafront. If you want the pod and the coast together, the i360 is the better pick. A London deck makes sense only if you are heading there anyway.

How I’d Choose Brighton i360 Tickets

• Cheapest: the View 360 ticket at $27.32, which is also the best proven option.
• First visit: the same View 360 ticket, 4.63 from 1,391 reviews, booked for a clear afternoon.
• Sunset: the View 360 ticket in a slot about an hour before sunset, or the $29.99 City Lights Flight once the nights draw in.
• Date night: the City Lights Flight, with a welcome drink, accepting that it has only 9 reviews.
• No queue: book a timed slot and arrive 20 minutes early, because reviewers say late arrivals can lose their flight.
• Families: the View 360 ticket, and ask the official site about under-twos going free.
• Locals: the 7 pound resident ticket at the venue, if you live in BN1, BN2, BN3 or BN41.
