Sydney Tower Eye Entry Tickets

Sydney Tower Eye is open daily from 9 am to 9 pm with last entry at 8 pm. Hours may differ on some public holidays; check sydneytowereye.com.au before visiting.

Sydney Tower Eye is at 100 Market Street in the Sydney CBD, inside the Westfield Sydney complex. The entrance to the tower is accessible from within the shopping centre. The nearest train stations are Town Hall and St James, both approximately a 5-minute walk away.

The observation deck is at 250 metres above street level. The tower itself extends to 309 metres, making it the tallest structure in Sydney and one of the tallest in the Southern Hemisphere.

From the observation deck, you can see Sydney Harbour, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Sydney Opera House, Bondi Beach and the Eastern Suburbs coastline, Botany Bay and Sydney Airport to the south, and the Blue Mountains to the west on clear days. An audio guide in multiple languages identifies the landmarks.

The 4D Cinema is located on the levels below the observation deck and is included with standard admission. It uses motion seats and environmental effects including wind, water mist and scent to present a cinematic tour of Sydney's landmarks and key locations. The film runs approximately 10 minutes.

The Skywalk is an outdoor platform above the enclosed observation deck at the very top of the tower. It involves walking on a glass-floored external walkway with no obstructions between you and the views. It requires a separate ticket above standard admission and must be booked in advance. Participants wear a harness throughout.

The enclosed observation deck at 250 metres is fully glass-sided and has no access to open air, which makes it more manageable for those with mild height sensitivity. The Skywalk outdoor experience is not recommended for people with a fear of heights. The enclosed deck can still feel high for some visitors; there are seating areas throughout.

Most visitors spend 45 minutes to 90 minutes at Sydney Tower Eye. The observation deck itself takes 30 to 45 minutes to walk around fully and take in the views. Adding the 4D Cinema extends the visit by around 15 minutes. The Skywalk experience typically takes 45 minutes to 1 hour including the briefing.
