I will introduce you the interesting structure in NZ! This is ‘Sky Tower’. This famous tower is in the part of Sky City, one of the amusement areas in Auckland. And you will be surprised when you hear how tall this tower is. This is 328m in height, a little bit shorter than Tokyo Tower. However, this is the tallest in Southern Hemisphere, and the 12th tallest tower in the world! Besides, it took 2 years and 9 months to build this huge tower. I suppose it was very big construction.What can you do there?
Now, I am going to tell you Sky Tower. In this tower, you can enjoy seeing beautiful landscapes, tasting fine cuisine in the restaurants, doing some exciting adventures, and more!
Beautiful views!
First, I will tell you the beautiful view from Sky Tower. There are three circular observation levels, Sky Deck, main observation level, and Sky Lounge, and you can get a beautiful, 360-degree view from each level. Sky Deck, which is the highest observation level (220m) in Sky Tower, offers an amazing view. In the main observation level, not only you can see the views, but also you can do lots of stuff. For example, taking a walk on thick glass floors is very scary and exciting. Surprisingly, there is a post in this level, and you can send a postcard from here. By the way, this post is the highest in Southern Hemisphere. Sky Lounge is interesting too, because you can enjoy both views and drinks. It’ll be so good for you to see nice landscapes as you drink a cup of coffee!
Nice Cuisine!
Next is about restaurants. There are two large restaurants and a café. Café, the Sky Lounge has been introduced already, so I’m going to tell you the other two restaurants. There is a fine restaurant called ‘Orbit’ at 190m, and you can taste wonderful cuisine with views. At 194m, ‘The Observatory’ is famous for offering the guests a fine buffet. These restaurants are cheap, so why don’t you visit them if you come to Sky Tower?
Activities
Third, I will introduce funny activities. SkyJump is the most exciting activity, I think. This is literally to jump off the observation deck. How scary! On the other hand, SkyWalk is to walk around the edge of platform at 192m up! Both of them are so scary, but you can’t stop the adrenalin rush! These are really exciting!
Basic Information
Finally, I’ll update basic information of Sky Tower. It opens from 8.30am to 10.30pm on Sunday to Thursday, and from 8.30am to 11.30pm on Friday and Saturday. The former, last tickets are sold at 10pm, and the latter is sold an hour later than the former. If you visit all observation levels, admission fee is $28.00 and people who visit only main observation deck costs $25.00. Very reasonable! Restaurants are reasonable too! In The Observatory, you can eat buffet, just paying $59.99 at dinner.
Why don’t you visit there if you have an opportunity?
