When going up Skytower, ask for a Sun&Stars ticket.
It's mentioned on the website, but not on the admissions board inside. It means that you have a daytime and a nighttime entry on one ticket. (for the price of 1 1/2 entry). You don't have to do both entries on the same day; the ticket just gets stamped.
I quite liked to see Auckland in daylight, but thought it more special at night. I went up just before the sun set; so besides great skies, you also slowly see more streetlights switched on. I stayed until it was completely dark. Magical!

You can easily spend hours exploring the different observation levels and when you need a break there's the Sky Lounge Restaurant where you can enjoy the wonderful views comfortably seated with a nice cuppa.
For the intrepid, there's the vertigo climb and the 192m Sky jump, which is by far New Zealand's highest bungy jump.
Admission prices are as follows -
Adults
Main Observation & Sky Deck $21.00

Child
5-14 years (Main Observation) $8.00

 The Sky Tower, embedded
in the old city centre. by Kakapo2
The tower is open Sun-Thur 8.30am-11pm, and Fri/Sat from 8.30am until midnight.
It is a great experience at day and nighttime.
A drink in the Sky Lounge, located at the obersevation Level, can be rather romantic (open from 9am, Sun-Thur until 10pm, Fri/Sat until 11pm).
If you have buffet lunch (12noon-2pm) or dinner (5.30pm-7pm and from 7.30pm) at the Observatory Restaurant the trip up the tower is included in the price of $39.50 for lunch and $57 for dinner.
The tower is part of Skycity which features hotels, casinos, several restaurants, cafés and bars. This includes dining by star chef Peter Gordon at the five-star Grand Hotel.
You can also get very interesting views OF the tower if you walk around in the streets around Skycity, old and modernist buildings happily joint together.
The only thing I do not like about Skycity/Sky Tower is their website. Rather chaotic.

NZ$15 gets you to the Viewing Level of the Skytower, and a stunning 360 degree vista awaits you. It highlights the point that Auckland appears to be almost completely surrounded by water, and distant headlands can be seen as well, as amazingly, the west coast and the Tasman Sea.
Picture is looking east - city and port, middle foreground is town of Devonport and distance is the volcanic plug of Rangitoto. Leave a Comment

Sky Tower is a 328m structure. It is part of the Sky City complex which has a 24 hour casino along with restaurants, bars, cafes and a hotel. We didn't do the skyjump but saw a few people do it. There is also a floor which is a viewing area. You get great views of all of Auckland
There is pretty good gift shop in the lower level of Sky City by the elevators that go up to Sky Tower.

The tallest tower in the southern hemisphere (4 metres higher than Sydney - apparently the brief to the architects stipulated it must be taller. Rivalry? Maybe a touch - especially when the most popular T-shirt seemed to be 'I support 2 teams - New Zealand and anyone playing Australia') and you can see it from virtually anywhere.328 metres up and 40 seconds in a lift - that's some going. Fabulous views from the top - and you can walk up a further 70 metres or so (internally) onto an external platform, or, if you've got a spare NZ$150, you can actually Sky Jump. Full equipment provided, a cross between a parachute dive and a bungee jump - attached to a steel rope that runs down the outside of the tower. Leave a Comment
