Sky Jump, Sky Deck, Sky Tower

One of New Zealand’s most exhilarating and spectacular tourist attractions: The Auckland City Sky Tower is the tallest tower in the southern hemisphere at 328 metres. Located in the heart of Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city. With picturesque views from the tower.

The Sky Tower, built in 1997, is an Auckland landmark icon. Upper levels accommodate communications equipment, three circular public observation levels - Sky Deck, Main Observation level, and the Sky Lounge, a revolving restaurant, from each of which you can get a 360-degree view of Auckland. This 170 ton tower attracts over 600,000 visitors each year and is owned and operated by SKY CITY Entertainment Group. Tourists come for numerous reasons but the main one being Sky tower contains New Zealand’s largest casino and offers table and slot machine gaming. The tower also features the Sky Jump, a 192 metre controlled fall from the observation deck of the tower similar to bungee jumping.
