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.
December - Open daily from 8am until late.
Open New Years Eve 8am - 5pm
January - Open weekdays from 2pm and weekends from 9am to 10pm
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.
Live Entertainment
Every Friday and Saturday from 4pm–7pm, SkyCity Summer Garden comes alive with live music with a line up of Mal Lakatani, John Blackburn, Manoah Pickering, Lee Gray and Richard Murray - the perfect soundtrack for your sunny afternoon or balmy evening.
Note: On 20 December, live entertainment pauses for our SkyCity Christmas Plaza Shows.
Sugar & Steam Dessert Food Truck
Our friends at Sugar & Steam are parked up alongside us rolling out the sweetest summer treats - scoops, sundaes and cool-down favourites for all ages. It's the big purple truck, you can't miss it!
Sun on your face, drinks in hand, delicious food, great music and the Sky Tower towering above - SkyCity Summer Garden is the easiest way to soak up the season.
Perfect for families. Perfect for friends. Perfect for summer.
Make it a season to remember at SkyCity Summer Garden.
