Skytower Complex and Casino: Take a lesiurely lunch.....
If you are in Auckland, it is definately worth a trip up to one of the restaurants at the top of the Sky Tower - not only for the 360 degree views - good dishes with a modern and interesting twist! The food is slightly on the pricey side, but for the experience, views, and excellent service, it was worth it! I'd recommend booking in advance (and demand a window seat!) For a more family type of meal - head upstairs to the all you can eat buffet restaurant (haven't tried it so can't give any info! Sorry!!!!!)

    Skytower Complex and Casino: Auckland Sky Tower
    It touts itself as one of New Zealand's premier attractions, which is something that should not be taken lightly. After all, this is coming from the country that gave us zorbing, jetboating, and most importantly bungee jumping. Taking all that into consideration, the Auckland Skytower looks like Seattle's Space Needle from afar, but is much more than that in person. Skytower actually has several parts to it... a casino for the oxygen deprived slot machine generation, fine dining in a rotating restaurant for the foodies, and a couple adrenaline injecting sport activities like the Skyjump and Skyclimb! For those more on a normal tourism adventure, stick with the observation deck, which is assured to give you the best vantage point in the entire city!

    I´ve visited many towers and skyscrapers before and what I liked about this one was: 1) the view - combination of the city, blue Hauraki Gulf with small Islands around, green hills, all that makes it very special 2) there are two observation decks in two different hights and 3) there is a glass floor and walls in the lifts and more glass floor in the higher observation deck

    Skytower Complex and Casino: Sky Tower - great views
    OK, so the NZ$25 seemed a bit steep just to go up an elevator, but the views are what you come for. Bring a tourist brochure (grab one before going through customs at Auckland Airport) and you should find a voucher in there for 10% off. If you're really game you can also jump off the tower for approx NZ$200. It's a one way trip - ie you don't bounce up and down like a normal bungy. Instead you come to a slow and safe stop at the base of the tower. One of the tourist brochures I found at the airport had a $50 off voucher so keep your eyes on the lookout.

    Skytower Complex and Casino: The Sky Tower
    Personally I don't think this is a must see ( reason their are a number of volcanic peaks dotted around the city where you can get panoromic view ) but I know their are some VTers who enjoyed getting an aerial view of a city before they venture out and about. What is unique about this tower is that you can jump off it if your are willing pay the fee but I will say save it for Queenstown. I took my sister and mum up there sometime ago when they were visiting from Malaysia. You want to see the views check up my View from Sky tower page. It might help you make up your mind. One tip, only go there on a nice sunny clear day so you can enjoy the view. There is also a resataurent up there to enjoy dinner and the sunset.

    Skytower Complex and Casino: What a view
    Same as all major cities, there is always some sort of symbolic tall building that you can get spectacular views of the city. In this case is the Sky Tower, it also houses restaurants and a casino on the lower levels. A revolving restaurant and an observation decks on the top. Bungy jumping is available for the brave people.

    Skytower Complex and Casino: Tallest structure in the southern hemi
    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.

    Skytower Complex and Casino: The Tallest tower in the southern hemisphere!
    Skycity tower is the tallest in the southern hemisphere a 328meters (that makes it taller than paris' Eiffel tower and sydney's AMP). IMPORTANT: Make sure u go on a clear day!!! i was in Auckland in winter and it rains most of the time. i was lucky to have one clear day. Entrance is about 12 or 13dollars for students, adult tickets are slightly more. The view is just amazing, i think you can see as far as 82km on a clear day.
