About the deck
Sydney Tower Eye is the observation deck of Sydney Tower, the second-tallest structure in Sydney at 309m. The indoor observation pod sits at 250 metres and offers 360-degree views across Sydney Harbour, the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, Bondi Beach, and on clear days the Blue Mountains to the west. A separate Skywalk experience (additional charge) involves a guided outdoor walk on the exterior walkways around the tower's turret.
Sydney Tower is a communications and transmission tower rather than a commercial building, giving it an unusually narrow footprint relative to its height..
The honest take
Sydney Tower Eye is the only major observation deck in Australia's largest city, and it competes on value against Eureka Skydeck in Melbourne (AUD 42 at-door for 285m vs AUD 42 at-door for 250m). Melbourne wins on altitude for the same price. Sydney wins on harbour context - the view of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge from 250m is one of the world's iconic observation deck views.
