SkyCity Summer Garden

Daily, until 01 March 2026

Under the Sky Tower

SkyCity Summer Garden

Your new favourite summer hangout starts here

4 December to 1 March

This summer, the base of the Sky Tower has transformed into the ultimate Kiwi backyard party. SkyCity Summer Garden is a three-month pop-up packed with sunshine, good food, cold drinks, family-friendly fun and those long, easy summer vibes Aucklanders live for.

Whether you're grabbing a bite with the whānau, need a coffee and snack in the morning on your way into town, stopping in after work, or showing off the city to summer visitors, SkyCity Summer Garden is your go-to spot for relaxed, al fresco fun in the heart of the CBD.

Open daily from 8am until late

Eat, sip and chill all summer long

Bring your appetite. We'll be serving up the classics - crispy wings, hot chips, hot dogs, Al Brown's Fed Deli bagels and more. Simple, bold, delicious. In the mornings, we'll have a range of fresh pastries to go with your coffee. Our bar has your summer drink of choice ready from spritzes to ice-cold beers to refreshing cocktails and low/no-alc sips.
