At the height of 328m (1076ft), this majestic Skytower is part of the Sky City complex and the tallest structure in the southern hemisphere. There is an elevation service which sends you up to the observation deck in less than one minute. The views from the top of the city and the harbor are magnificent, and there are all kinds of visual and interactive displays as well as the Sky Lounge for you to relax and enjoy a cold or hot drink.

Both native and imported wildlives are gathered and can be studied at the Auckland Zoo where visitors are allowed to come eye to eye with some awesome animals. There is also an imitation of the African plains in the Pridelands. A very good outing trip for family with children.
