Sky Terrace 428 tickets start at $19 in my data: the Peak Tram and Sky Terrace 428 combo, rated 4.5 from 364 reviews and the only option I list. The terrace sits on the Peak Tower, whose height Wikipedia gives as capped at 428 m above sea level. I’d go about an hour before sunset and stay for the lights.
There is only one of the Sky Terrace 428 tickets to compare, so this page is shorter than most on the site. Prices, ratings and inclusions come from the GetYourGuide listing I checked in October 2026, in US dollars. Links open GetYourGuide in a new tab, and I earn a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you.
Sky Terrace 428 at a Glance
The terrace is the viewing platform of the Peak Tower, the shopping and attractions building at the top of the Peak Tram on Hong Kong Island. Wikipedia says the tower was completed in 1997 to a design by Terry Farrell, and that the viewing terrace was moved to the top of the building in a 2005 to 2006 alteration. These are the numbers I could source for Sky Terrace 428 tickets.
I treat 428 m as the terrace height because the platform is on the roof and carries that number in its name. The operator’s own site would not load for me, so I have no second source for the exact floor level.

Sky Terrace 428 Observation Deck Tickets
Of all the Sky Terrace 428 observation deck tickets I could find on GetYourGuide, only one passed my filters. Tickets for Sky Terrace 428 here come as a combo rather than a plain entry ticket. The Peak Tram and Sky Terrace 428 combo is a pass: it bundles the funicular ride up, admission to the terrace, entry to Madame Tussauds and the evening HSBC Life Illuminations show outside the tower, per the listing.
At $19 it is the cheapest of the Sky Terrace 428 tickets I can show you, and it has 364 reviews at 4.5 stars. The listing calls the Peak Tram the world’s steepest funicular railway since 1888. The ticket is valid for 24 hours and you go straight to the pre-purchased ticket holder queue. It is non-refundable, which matters in a city where cloud can sit on the hill.
Sky Terrace 428 Tickets and Prices
Price is simple here because there is one product, so the Sky Terrace 428 tickets and prices fit in a line. A Sky Terrace 428 ticket in this combo costs $19 per person, and the total for a group is just that number multiplied. Use the calculator below to price Sky Terrace 428 tickets for your party size.

Prices are the lowest per-person prices on GetYourGuide when I last checked; the final price depends on the date, time slot and age.
I have no price for the terrace alone or for a plain tram ticket, so I cannot tell you how much the bundle saves. What I can say is that the $19 covers four things the listing names, and one of them, Madame Tussauds, is an attraction people normally pay for separately. If you only want the view, check whether skipping that entry changes the price on the operator’s site before you decide.
The Peak Tower Sky Terrace 428 Tickets
Sky Terrace 428 tickets are sold with the tram because the Peak Tower is the tram’s top station. You ride up, step into the tower and take the lift or escalators to the terrace. The listing describes the terrace as Hong Kong’s highest observation platform, with 360-degree views from green hillsides to the city below.
The ticket also mentions the Mei Lok Experience, a themed set of recreated vintage settings and photo spots. One reviewer wrote that sitting on the right going up the tram was great, which is a tip I would take: it is a small detail that improves the climb.
Sky Terrace 428 Entry Fee
The entry fee I can quote for Sky Terrace 428 tickets is the combo’s $19. It is an all-in price, so do not read it as the cost of the terrace by itself. Google Maps lists the terrace as open from 8:30 am to 10 pm, and the tram runs from 7:30 am to 11 pm, so the hours leave a wide window.
For two adults, the total is $38; for a family of four it is $76. These are the multiplications of one listing price, not a family rate, because the listing shows no separate child fare in my data. I would check the booking page for children before you add them to the total.
Sky Tower Observation Deck Hours
Google Maps shows Sky Terrace 428 open from 8:30 am to 10 pm every day of the week. The Peak Tram operates from 7:30 am to 11:00 pm daily, including public holidays, according to the combo listing. The evening show outside the tower runs three times a night, at 7:30 pm, 8:30 pm and 9:30 pm, per the same listing.
Hours for Sky Terrace 428 tickets and entry can change for holidays, typhoon warnings and maintenance, so I would look at the operator’s site on the morning you go. If you want daylight and dusk in one visit, arrive in the late afternoon rather than at opening.
Sky Tower Observation Deck Height
The height people quote for Sky Terrace 428 is 428 m above sea level, and it matches the platform’s name. Wikipedia says the tower’s height was restricted to 428 m above sea level, and that the building’s site sits at 396 m elevation. I use 428 m below to estimate how far you can see.
The terrace is high because the Peak itself is high, not because the tower is. That is why the view feels like a mountain view rather than a skyscraper view. You look down on the towers of Central and across Victoria Harbour to Kowloon.
Sky Terrace 428 Worth It
I think Sky Terrace 428 tickets are worth it at $19, if you value the tram ride and a clear sky. The combo rating is 4.5 from 364 reviews, and one reviewer wrote that the views were amazing and the city was spectacular from the top. The reviews that mention food say the Petit Jardin snack is tasty but not a full dinner.
The risk is cloud. In the 2025 weather data below, the summer months are the cloudiest, and Wikipedia notes that heavy air pollution often obscures the view from the terrace. I would not buy Sky Terrace 428 tickets for a day with a forecast of fog, since it is non-refundable.
Sky Terrace 428 Restaurant
There is no restaurant on the terrace itself in my data, but one of the Sky Terrace 428 tickets has a dinner variant. The listing says the option with Petit Jardin Dinner adds a set of Shanghai xiao long bao or pan-fried pork buns with a tea, plus 10% off extra dishes. A reviewer wrote that it is a snack and not a full dinner, so I would eat elsewhere if you are hungry.
The Peak Tower also has other cafes and restaurants, and the listing mentions local and international cuisine. I have no menu or prices for them, so I leave those to the venues.
Sky Terrace 428 Location
The terrace is at 1 Lugard Rd, The Peak, on Hong Kong Island, per Google Maps. You reach it by the Peak Tram, which the combo includes, and the Peak Tower is the top station. The tram ride is the main way up, and the listing says the experience ends at The Peak, so you plan your own way back down.
Sky Terrace 428 sits 0.1 km from the Victoria Peak scenic spot on Google Maps, and 0.85 km from Lugard Road Lookout. Because everything is so close, you can add a short walk to your visit without a transfer.
Sky Terrace 428 at Night
Night is where the Sky Terrace 428 ticket earns its place, and it is flagged as a night option in my data. The ticket includes the HSBC Life Illuminations, a 3D projection mapping show at Peak Road Garden, just outside the Peak Tower, shown at 7:30 pm, 8:30 pm and 9:30 pm per the listing. The listing says it started on 13 June, so check the operator’s site for the current schedule.
My plan is to arrive in the late afternoon, go up to the terrace for sunset, then step outside for the show. The terrace is open until 10 pm per Google Maps, so you have time for both. This is also the best way to use a 24-hour ticket, since you can see the city in daylight, at dusk and lit up in one trip.

The Peak Tram & Sky Terrace 428 Ticket Combo
★4.5 (364 reviews)
24-hour ticket
My pick: My pick for a first visit: $19, 4.5 stars from 364 reviews, Peak Tram, terrace entry, Madame Tussauds and the evening light show in one 24-hour ticket.
Cloud cover decides how good the view is, so pick your day for Sky Terrace 428 tickets with the weather in mind. In the 2025 weather data from Open-Meteo, the clearest months were January at 33 percent average cloud cover, December at 44 percent and October at 56 percent. The cloudiest were June at 88 percent and July at 85 percent. August had the most rainy days, 27, followed by July with 26.
I’d arrive 45 to 60 minutes before sunset with your Sky Terrace 428 tickets. October to January gives the best odds in this data, and those are also the months when sunset is early enough that the light show follows soon after.

Sky Terrace 428 vs Other Observation Decks in Hong Kong
The terrace is not the only place to look at the city, even if Sky Terrace 428 tickets are the ones most people buy first. Ratings and review counts are from Google Maps, and distances are straight-line from the terrace.
My pairing is the paid terrace for the elevated view and Lugard Road for the free one. The Ocean Terminal Deck gives you the opposite angle, looking back at Hong Kong Island from Kowloon.
How I’d Choose
Cheapest of the Sky Terrace 428 tickets: the Peak Tram and Sky Terrace 428 combo at $19, my only listing.
Sunset and night: the same combo, because it includes the evening light show at 7:30, 8:30 and 9:30 pm.
First visit: the same Sky Terrace 428 ticket, rated 4.5 from 364 reviews, with the tram ride included.
Families: the combo, with Madame Tussauds entry included, but check child fares on the booking page.
No queue: the combo sends you to the pre-purchased ticket holder queue, though I would not promise a skip.
Frequently asked questions
How much is the Sky Terrace entrance?+
The only Sky Terrace 428 ticket in my data is the Peak Tram and Sky Terrace 428 combo at $19 per person on GetYourGuide. It includes the tram ride, entry to the terrace and entry to Madame Tussauds, according to the listing. I have no separate walk-up price for the terrace alone, so check the operator's site if you only want that.
Is it worth going to Sky Terrace 428?+
I think so, on a clear day. Google Maps rates it 4.5 from 4,182 reviews, and the $19 combo is rated 4.5 from 364. Wikipedia warns that air pollution often hides the view, so cloud and haze decide the value. Pick a day with low cloud and book a time near sunset.
Do I need to buy Peak Tram tickets in advance?+
You do not have to, but the combo makes it easy. The $19 ticket includes the Peak Tram ride and terrace entry in one booking, valid for 24 hours, and you join the pre-purchased ticket holder queue at the attraction. It is non-refundable, so book once you have checked the forecast.
How do I get to Sky Terrace 428 from the Peak Tram?+
The Peak Tram ends at the Peak Tower, and the terrace is on top of that building at 1 Lugard Rd per Google Maps. With the combo you show your ticket at the pre-purchased ticket holder queue at the entrance of the attraction. The listing also notes free Wi-Fi inside The Peak Tower.
What is the best observation deck in Hong Kong?+
From my Google Maps data, Sky Terrace 428 is the paid platform on Victoria Peak, rated 4.5 from 4,182 reviews. The free Lugard Road Lookout is rated 4.7 from 2,405 reviews and is 0.85 km away. I would pair the two: the terrace for the elevated view, Lugard Road for a free walk.
What time of day is best for Sky Terrace 428?+
I'd arrive 45 to 60 minutes before sunset. In the 2025 Open-Meteo data, sunset ranged from 17:39 in November to 19:10 in July. The combo is valid for 24 hours, so you can go up in daylight, stay for dusk and watch the evening light show outside the tower.
