Insider tips
Here are some insider favourites from SkyCity staff — the places, dishes and experiences we always recommend to guests exploring the precinct. We might be a bit biased, but only because we know exactly where the good stuff is.
Sharon's tip: Book Yoga in the Sky – Sky Tower's early morning Yoga session gives you a workout along with an amazing view of the sunrise, 192m above Auckland city!
Liz's tip: Head up to SkyBar in the Sky Tower for a drink at sunset for the best of views and orientation of the city.
Wade's Tip: Check out Flare bar for live music and watching the world go by from the bar that looks across the gaming floor.
Leilani's Tip: Soak up the sun whilst sipping on a drink in The Grill courtyard whilst gazing up at the Sky Tower.
Isabel's Tip: Order a Bacon doona (roll) from Depot and a cup of Joe (coffee) at Fed Deli – you're welcome!
Megan's Tip: To relax and recoup book a treatment at East Day Spa – indulgence in the massage for two!
Moonyean's Tip: Choose SkyCity for 'date night'. Check in at The Grand by SkyCity, enjoy drinks in the Summer Garden bar whilst waiting for your couples massage at East Day Spa. Dress up and enjoy an intimate dinner at Metita. Flirt with Lady Luck in the Casino, enjoying a bespoke cocktail from Flare Bar.
Claire' Tip: Go to Depot and eat pretty much anything on the menu. Yum!
Elizabeth's tip: Grab a sandwich on the run from Fed Deli – the chicken salad sandwich never disappoints.
Bill's tip: Head up the Tower to see Auckland in the Sky. For caffeine that'll make your soul sing, grab a flat white at Depot. And if you're feeling futuristic, swing by Andy's where robots serve your food.
Isabel's tip: Visit the Sky Tower during school holidays for the bespoke kid's activity that is usually aligned with a new release movie. Themed activity will keep the kids entertained!
Glenn's tip: To impress the visitors from out of town, book a night at Horizon by SkyCity and include dinner at The Grill to showcase NZ's most premium steak and seafood. Order the Seafood Tower!
