Standing 309 metres above the city, the Sydney Tower has been an unmissable part of the skyline for more than four decades. Now, after a sophisticated refresh, its Observation Deck has been reimagined as a calm, contemporary space that blends breathtaking 360-degree views with comfort, style, and a renewed connection to the city below.

A Modern Redesign That Celebrates Sydney from Above

The reimagined Observation Deck is more than a facelift, it’s a full sensory experience.
The interiors now feature warm sandstone tones and ocean-inspired blues, reflecting Sydney’s unique landscape from harbour to bushland. Plush seating areas invite visitors to pause and take in the view, while new glass panels and lighting enhance the clarity of the panorama, from Bondi Beach in the east to the Blue Mountains, nearly 80 kilometres away.

“The Sydney Tower Eye has always been the ultimate place to take in the city’s most breathtaking views,” said Ian Wood, Vice President of Merlin Entertainments ANZ. “With the reimagined Observation Deck, we’ve created a space that feels contemporary and welcoming, designed to elevate the experience and give guests a new way to connect with Sydney.”

The Café in the Sky

New to the Sydney Tower Eye experience is a sky-high café serving coffee, sweet treats, and light bites with what might be the best view in Australia. It’s the perfect stop for travellers who want to enjoy a relaxed moment above the city, or locals looking to rediscover their skyline from a fresh perspective.

Why the Sydney Tower Eye Is a Must-Visit in 2025

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a lifelong Sydneysider, the revitalised Sydney Tower Eye offers a truly elevated experience:

• 360-degree views of Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, and the coastline

• 250 metres above street level, making it the highest public viewing point in the city

• Safe and accessible, with one of the most stable architectural designs in the world

• Fun facts galore: 56 stabilising cables, a 162,000-litre damping tank, and lifts that travel up to 25 km/h

It’s part of a global refresh across Merlin Entertainments’ family of Eye attractions, joining The London Eye and The Orlando Eye in a new, cohesive international rebrand.
