Skytower Auckland
Entertainment, Restaurants, Exciting Adventure Activities!

The Skytower Auckland is probably the most recognised city icon apart from the Auckland Harbour Bridge. Built over ten years ago, it was originally much maligned, and got the nickname "The Spark Plug" due to the design, and the decision to leave the exterior unpainted.
That it was visible from almost anywhere in Auckland and can be visible from 80 kilometers away, took a bit of getting used to. It somehow was very intrusive on our landscape of volcanic cones, harbours and trees.
However the Skytower is Auckland As with many ugly ducklings, it has become our much loved swan. We love the colours at night that change with the event.
Blue when the Auckland Blues have a big rugby match. Pink for Breast Cancer weeks, Green and red not only at Christmas but for Kidz First Children’s Hospital, Orange for the Auckland festival and so it goes. Each week brings a surprise.

Skytower Auckland Restaurants
The Orbit
NOTE: You must spend a minimum of $30 per meal in the Orbit for the bonus of not paying to go up the tower .....a saving of $25!
The Orbit is a revolving a la carte restaurant. We have taken many overseas visitors to this fantastic Auckland Skytower restaurant for a meal and it has been one of the highlights of their trip . Try and book to arrive a little before sunset. You can then enjoy a superb meal while the slowly doing a 360 degree turn, watching the sunset and then the city lights. You are free to wander around the viewing platform after your meal. This is a great night out!
The Observatory is a seafood buffet also in Auckland Skytower. Lunch is $39.50,Dinner $59 – but again you save the $25 fee to get up the tower. So this is great value.
Fortuna Buffet Restaurant is a Chinese buffet meal. You also only pay $15 for the lift.

Deli & Noodle Bar – for cheap meals
Cafes – Blend, Rebo and Sky Lounge which is at the top for coffee with a magnificent view.
