Sky Tower is a common TV tower in Auckland. It is 328 meters high, that makes it the tallest building in the country. The construction of the tower was completed in 1997. Almost from the first days of the opening, viewing platforms became available for visitors.
Admiring the panorama of the city is not the only entertainment that is available to visitors of the TV tower. The main observation deck is equipped with a glass floor. Not all dare to step on it. This attraction will be an excellent test for the nerves. In fine weather, visitors can experience the SkyJump ride. They can make a memorable leap from one of the highest lookouts of the planet.
Those who prefer the more tranquil and romantic entertainment can enjoy the upscale restaurant with a rotating hall. There you can admire the spectacular panorama of Auckland. It’s also worth noting that the restaurant in the TV tower is quite expensive. However, even the most budget travelers can enjoy a cup of coffee and admire views, while sitting there at a table near a huge window. Recently, visitors of Sky Tower can experience a new activity - Skywalk. You have to prepare for it in advance. An instructor-led group of visitors can stroll along the edge of an open observation deck.
