Too Expensive
Too 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 💙
It 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
Check 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.
Operator response
Thanks for the great feedback! We’re glad you loved the views, on a clear day they really are something special. Appreciate the helpful hint for those reading at home too, and we hope to welcome you back again soon. -Max from Dreamworld

It is a great place to...
It is a great place to view Gold Coast shorelines and skyscrapers. Highly recommended for travelers.

Sneaky Excellent
Usually 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

Love this take, “sneaky excellent” might be our new favourite description 😄 So glad SkyPoint surprised you in all the right ways, from the views to the food. Thanks for the recommendation and hope we see you back at the top again soon. -Max from Dreamworld & SkyPoint

Far too expensive
Expensive 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.
