Sydney Tower Tickets – view from the observation deck over Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House

The cheapest Sydney Tower tickets on GetYourGuide cost $20.14 for the Sydney Tower Eye observation deck, which is also the most reviewed option at 4.42 from 2,754 reviews. The deck sits at 268 m, according to Wikipedia, and the tower is 306 m tall. I’d pick a clear day and go in the hour before sunset, which is about 17:00 in winter and about 19:00 in summer.

Sydney Tower at a Glance

I compared the five Sydney Tower tickets, tours and meals that GetYourGuide sells for this landmark, so everything you can book through this page is listed above. Two are meals in the revolving restaurant, one is the open-air Skywalk, and two are plain observation deck entries. The tower is also called the Sydney Tower Eye, and the older name Centrepoint Tower is still in use. The figures behind these Sydney Tower tickets come from Wikidata, Wikipedia and Open-Meteo, so you can check each one.

Sydney Tower Observation Deck Tickets

People who type sydney tower observation deck tickets usually want the view and nothing else, and the plain ticket for that is further down this page. The product in this section is different, and it is the one I’d pick if the view comes with a meal. It is the Unlimited Skyfeast at Sydney Tower from Trippas White Group, rated 4.55 from 2,484 reviews at $75.72.

This is a buffet in the revolving restaurant, not a ticket to the deck. The listing describes more than 30 dishes from a range of cuisines and 105 minutes at the table, with a reserved table and the lift to the restaurant included. Weekend window seating stretches to 2 hours, and the check-in desk is on Level 4 of Westfield Sydney, near the corner of Castlereagh and Market Streets. The listing doesn’t mention access to the observation deck itself, so I wouldn’t count on it.

Sydney Tower Tickets – Unlimited Skyfeast at Sydney Tower

Trippas White Group

Unlimited Skyfeast at Sydney Tower

  • 4.5 (2,484 reviews)
  • 105 minutes
  • Free cancellation

My pick: My pick if you'd rather sit down for the view: the best-rated way to eat in the tower, but a buffet and not a deck ticket.

Reviewers like the variety and the outlook, though one found the food okay and the view the real draw, and another thought the time limit a bit short. Two of them ate early, around 5 pm, and said it was too early for sunset, so book your table for the sunset hour if that is what you came for.

Sydney Tower Tickets and Prices

Sydney Tower tickets and prices start here with the standard entry. The Sydney Tower Eye: Observation Deck ticket from Merlin Entertainments Group costs $20.14, and it has the most reviews of all five listings, 2,754 at a 4.42 rating. The operator runs the attraction, so I treat this as the baseline every other option should be measured against.

The listing includes general admission and a digital photo pass with complimentary pictures from the themed photo stations, with prints available to buy. It is valid for 24 hours and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before. The meeting point is on Level 5 of the Westfield Shopping Centre at the corner of Pitt and Market Streets: go to Level 5 and follow the signs from the food court. That makes the tower easy to miss if you look for a street door, so give yourself a few minutes.

Sydney Tower Observation Deck Tickets – Sydney Tower Eye: Observation Deck

Merlin Entertainments Group

Sydney Tower Eye: Observation Deck

  • 4.4 (2,754 reviews)
  • 24-hour ticket
  • Free cancellation

My pick: The one I'd buy for a first visit: lowest price, most reviewed, the official operator and a photo pass included.

Reviews are mixed on crowds. One wrote there was no line to skip, and another that it was a shame so many people were there, though still worth it. Neither the Sydney Tower ticket nor the skip-the-line label guarantees an empty deck, so a weekday or a late slot will feel calmer than a weekend noon.

Centrepoint Tower Tickets

Centrepoint Tower tickets are the same thing as Sydney Tower tickets, which explains why that name still draws thousands of searches a month. Wikipedia says the tower has also been called the Sydney Tower Eye, Westfield Tower and the AMP Tower, and that it is still commonly called Centrepoint Tower. There is one tower and one set of listings on this page.

No product is attached to this section, because all five already have a card elsewhere. Google Maps also shows a separate Centre Point Australia entry with only 46 reviews, which looks like a duplicate listing, so I use the main place with 16,507 reviews for the facts on this page. If a ticket seller shows Centrepoint Tower tickets for a different price, check that it opens the same attraction, then compare it with the $20.14 entry above. The architect was Donald Crone, per Wikidata, and the tower opened in 1981.

Sydney Tower Restaurant

The Sydney Tower restaurant is the second way up, and the top-tier one among the tickets for the Sydney Tower. Infinity by Mark Best is on level 81, per the listing, and it serves a three-course a la carte menu made from Australian produce, with bread and a chef’s selection of sides. The listing says the restaurant slowly revolves for a 360-degree view of the skyline and the harbour. It costs $111.14 for 2 hours, rated 4.54 from 287 reviews, and drinks are not included.

It is the dearest of the Sydney Tower tickets here, and the listing is clear that you pay extra for beverages. One reviewer called the drinks a bit pricey. The check-in desk is the Infinity and Skyfeast desk on Level 4 of Westfield Sydney, opposite the Georg Jensen store.

Sydney Tower Tickets and Prices – Infinity by Mark Best Sydney Tower Dining Experience

Trippas White Group

Infinity by Mark Best Sydney Tower Dining Experience

  • 4.5 (287 reviews)
  • 2 hours
  • Free cancellation

My pick: For a special dinner: the most expensive and the smallest crowd of reviewers, but the view and the service get consistent praise.

Between the two restaurants, the choice is about how you like to eat. The $75.72 Skyfeast buffet gives you variety and a longer, looser sitting, while Infinity is a set three-course meal that costs $35.42 more. If the view is the main point, the $20.14 deck ticket gives you the same sky for a fraction of the price.

Sydney Tower Height

Before you buy Sydney Tower tickets, know what you are going up: the tower is 306 m tall, according to Wikidata, with 38 floors and a deck at 268 m. It is the tallest structure in Sydney and the second-tallest observation tower in the Southern Hemisphere, per Wikipedia. The Skywalk listing says the platform is exactly twice the height of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

For your plans, the deck height matters more than the full height, because that is where the Sydney Tower tickets take you. The golden turret sits at the top and the Skywalk wraps around it. Wikipedia’s page for the tower is the place to read about the structure itself, and the official Sydney Tower Eye site is the place to confirm anything that changes.

Sydney Tower Skywalk

The Skywalk is the open-air walk around the outside of the turret, and a Skywalk ticket is the most thrilling of the Sydney Tower tickets. The listing, Skywalk at The Sydney Tower Eye: Ticket and Tour, costs $58.35 and carries the best rating on the page, 4.77, though from only 159 reviews. A guide leads a small group for a 45-minute walk outside, and the whole visit lasts 1 to 1.5 hours.

The price covers the 90-minute Skywalk tour, access to Sydney Tower and the internal observation deck before and after the walk. You look down through a glass floor platform, and the listing offers a photo on it. Check in on Level 5 of Westfield, via the food court, at least 45 minutes before your start time. The listing is in English only.

My pick: Add-on for people who want more than a view: $38.21 more than the standard ticket, and the deck entry is already included.

Reviewers praise the guides and the commentary. One group of four said it felt safe and doable for everyone, physically and mentally, and the quote below sums up how that felt. The downsides they listed were a wait before the walk and a photo glitch, so arrive early and ask about the photos at the desk.

Absolutely safe feeling and doable for everyone, both physically and in terms of the (height) feeling.

Sydney Tower Tickets Price

All five Sydney Tower tickets are priced in US dollars on GetYourGuide, and they run from $20.14 to $111.14. The realistic range is $20.14 to $37.51 for deck entry, $58.35 for the Skywalk, and $75.72 to $111.14 for a meal. Use the calculator to see what your group pays for Sydney Tower tickets.

Prices are the lowest per-person prices on GetYourGuide when I last checked; the final price depends on the date, time slot and age.

The product in this section is a leftover, not a pick. It is the Sydney Tower Eye: Observation Deck Entry Ticket from Australia Comfort Travel Group at $37.51, with a single review at five stars. The listing mentions indoor deck entry, skip-the-line QR entry and unlimited time on the deck, day, sunset and night. It also lists the Skywalk outdoor experience and 4D cinema admission, which I can’t reconcile with a price lower than the $58.35 Skywalk tour. Read the options on the booking page before you pay.

My pick: Unrated apart from one review, and $17.37 above the standard ticket. I'd book the $20.14 listing instead, or the Skywalk tour if the walk is the goal.

Sydney Tower Reviews

Across the five Sydney Tower tickets, the reviews are strong where there are enough of them. The standard ticket scores 4.42 from 2,754 reviews, the Skyfeast buffet 4.55 from 2,484, Infinity 4.54 from 287 and the Skywalk 4.77 from 159. Google Maps gives the tower itself 4.4 from 16,507 reviews. The $37.51 listing has a single review, so its five stars tell me nothing yet.

Reading the comments on these Sydney Tower tickets, the praise is for the view, the guides and the service at the meals. The complaints are small and repeat: crowds on busy days, a short buffet time limit and drinks prices at Infinity. Several reviewers say the view is best on a clear day, which matches how I’d plan the visit, so pick a day with low cloud before you commit to a pricey option.

Sydney Tower Tickets Discount

I found no coupon, no combo bundle and no concession price in the listings, so I can’t promise discounted Sydney Tower tickets. What I can show is that the cheapest listing is already low at $20.14. One reviewer put it this way:

Beautiful, and with GYG it also cost less than on the official website.
— GetYourGuide reviewer

That is one reviewer’s experience, so compare Sydney Tower tickets against the official site on the day. Every listing here has free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead, so booking early costs you nothing if the forecast turns. Do not pay more for a listing just because it mentions skip-the-line, since the cheapest ticket carries the same label.

Sydney Tower Eye Combo Tickets

There is no city pass or multi-attraction combo for Sydney Tower tickets among the five products I checked, so a search for Sydney Tower Eye combo tickets leads back to the Skywalk. The nearest thing to a bundle is the Skywalk tour, which includes access to Sydney Tower and the indoor deck before and after the walk. The two restaurant listings include the lift to the restaurant, but not a deck ticket.

If you plan a longer Sydney trip, my advice is to buy your Sydney Tower ticket separately and fit it around other things. A reviewer who did the Skywalk said that the BridgeClimb is more demanding, so those two make a natural pair for people who want both heights. The tower is right in the central business district, so a walk to the harbour afterwards is easy.

Best Time to Visit Sydney Tower

The sky matters more than the month when you book Sydney Tower tickets. Open-Meteo’s 2025 data for the tower shows June as the clearest month, with 38% average cloud cover, followed by September at 42% and April at 44%. January is the cloudiest at 67%, then March at 64% and May at 62%. Remember that Australia is in the southern hemisphere, so summer runs from December to February.

Measured at the deck's coordinates for 2025. Source: Open-Meteo historical weather (ERA5), 2025.

Sunset ranges from 16:53 in June to 20:08 in January. Google Maps lists a 7 PM close, which would mean missing the sunset from about October to March, when it falls between 19:08 and 20:08. I can’t tell whether the hours change by season, so check the official site before you plan a summer sunset slot. Whichever Sydney Tower ticket you pick, I’d arrive 45 to 60 minutes before sunset where hours allow. Choose your date below and I’ll show you the sunset and the entry time to book.

What You Can See From Sydney Tower

At 268 m, the calculator below gives a horizon of roughly 58 km on a clear day. The standard ticket’s listing says the view stretches up to 80 km (48 miles) and names the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach and the Blue Mountains. Distant mountains can show beyond the plain geometric horizon because they stand tall themselves, which is my reading of the gap between the two figures.

These are the landmarks I’d look for, with their straight-line distance from the tower in kilometres and miles. St Mary’s Cathedral is 0.42 km (0.26 mi) away and Darling Harbour is 0.89 km (0.56 mi). The Royal Botanic Garden is 0.98 km (0.61 mi) off, and Sydney Observatory is 1.22 km (0.76 mi). The Opera House is 1.62 km (1.00 mi) away, the Harbour Bridge 2.01 km (1.25 mi), and Blues Point Reserve 2.32 km (1.44 mi). Broughton Street Lookout is 2.36 km (1.47 mi) away and Berrys Bay Lookout 3.20 km (1.99 mi).

Sydney Tower vs Other Observation Decks in Sydney

Google Maps lists a few other viewpoints near the tower, which you can use instead of Sydney Tower tickets if the budget is tight. I don’t have ticket prices for them, and none has a page on this site, so the table shows what the data does support.

Place Google rating Reviews Distance from the tower Tickets
Sydney Tower Eye 4.4 16,507 n/a Yes, from $20.14
Rotunda Observation Deck 4.9 71 1.45 km (0.90 mi) Price not in my data

Broughton Street Lookout 4.8 696 2.36 km (1.47 mi) Price not in my data

None of these gives you the 268 m height or the Skywalk. If you are visiting elsewhere in Australia, the Eureka Skydeck page covers Melbourne and the SkyPoint Observation Deck page covers the Gold Coast. Across the Tasman, the Sky Tower page covers Auckland.

How I’d Choose

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to go up the Sydney Tower?

On GetYourGuide the cheapest way up is the Sydney Tower Eye observation deck ticket at $20.14, rated 4.42 from 2,754 reviews. The Skywalk tour costs $58.35, the Skyfeast buffet $75.72 and the Infinity by Mark Best dinner $111.14. Prices are in US dollars, so your card may show a slightly different amount.

How long can you stay in the Sydney Eye Tower?

The $20.14 ticket is valid for 24 hours from activation and the listing sets no time limit on the indoor deck. The Skywalk tour takes 1 to 1.5 hours, and guests check in at least 45 minutes before the start. The Skyfeast buffet seats you for 105 minutes, with a longer slot at weekends.

Is the Sydney Eye Tower worth it?

For a first visit to Sydney I think it is, as long as the sky is clear. Google Maps rates it 4.4 from 16,507 reviews, and the cheapest ticket sits at 4.42 from 2,754. A reviewer on GetYourGuide wrote that on a beautiful day the view is amazing, and several mention crowds on busy days.

How high is the Sydney Tower?

The tower is 306 m tall according to Wikidata, and Wikipedia's list of public observation decks puts the deck at 268 m. The Skywalk platform listing also says 268 m. It was the tallest structure in Sydney when I checked, and it opened in 1981.

Is the Skywalk included in Sydney Tower tickets?

Not in the standard $20.14 ticket, which lists general admission and a digital photo pass. The Skywalk is sold as its own 90-minute tour at $58.35, and that price includes tower access and the indoor deck before and after. One other listing at $37.51 mentions the Skywalk, so read its options before paying.

Can I get discounted Sydney Tower tickets?

I found no coupon or combo price in my data. The best price is the $20.14 standard ticket, and one reviewer wrote that booking through GetYourGuide cost less than the official website. All five listings offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before, so you can book early and still change plans.

Does Sydney Tower have a restaurant?

Yes, two are sold on GetYourGuide. The Skyfeast buffet costs $75.72 for 105 minutes and the Infinity by Mark Best three-course menu costs $111.14 for 2 hours, on level 81. Both check in on Level 4 of Westfield Sydney, and the Infinity listing says the restaurant slowly revolves.
