Finally, we visited the Sydney Tower after Madame Tussauds, Sea Life, and Wild Life.
This should also be the last on your list if you have the combo ticket to visit all the Merlin attractions, which includes SeaLife, WildLife, and Madame Tussauds.
By the time I reached this attraction, it was almost closing time.
I walked from Darling Harbour to the Sydney Tower and reached the attraction within minutes.
There is no need to take an Uber or cab to get to this attraction.
A simple Google map would suffice.
The Tower is connected via a shopping mall and a food court.
If you want to grab a quick bite before you go up, you can, but be advised all the Merlin attractions operate within a certain timeframe and some have a cut-off time.
Otherwise, they will not let you in.
There is a bag check for this attraction.
There is a lot to see once you get up.
Much like the Empire State Building in New York City, this one offers a robust experience.
For example, the Sydney Tower closes at 7 PM but only accepts guests until 6 PM.
So, my advice is to get yourself up there so that you can enjoy the view and also take memorable shots with your friends and family.
I was there at sunset, and many people were enjoying a cup of tea or even an ice cream (guilty as charged) while watching the sunset.
You will be amazed at how beautiful Sydney is from that height.
For those of you who have a fear of heights, I must warn you that the lift to get up to the Sydney Tower is pretty small, so make sure you don’t cram yourself inside.
If the lift gets stuck midway, it would be a very uncomfortable experience.
I went up with a group of tourists, but when I was leaving, I got the lift on my own.
I wasn’t sure if I had pressed the button correctly or if the lift was moving at all, but after a few minutes, I was relieved to see the lady on the ground floor greeting me.
So, that was the only nerve-wracking experience I had at the tower.
Other than that, it was all good.
