Too Expensive

3.00Too expensive. $31 just to access the building is too expensive. Should have had something included, but it is merely access to the building and nothing more.
Rather lovely 💙

5.00It costs X to get up as a viewer, it costs X and a bit more to have a very decent buffet breakfast As a tight Yorkshireman, I definitely filled my face before we did the views, which are both excellent and informative
Best views from a sky tower

5.00Check trip advisor before you go for the best price. This is the best sky view tower experience ever. The views are so extensive and on a sunny day it's the best.

Sneaky Excellent

5.00Usually these big building sky views are an overpriced and underwhelming experience but this one really does it well. Very efficient ticket sales, the views are incredible and even the food at the top was good (and strangely affordable given the situation.) Obvious must do if in SP
Far too expensive

2.00Expensive for a 24 second elevator ride. No value for money Just a big money making exercise. View was nice but cost was way out of proportion.
Gorgeous

5.00We choose to come up here every time we visit the Gold Coast. It really is such a lovely place to be. The views are spectacular, could even see Dreamworld's Giant Drop from up there! The lift is super quick! Good variety of food sold at the bar too. Definitely worth going for a look.
So cool at sunset!
