Skywalk Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the Skywalk take?

Each Skywalk takes approximately 60 minutes. This includes a safety briefing and suiting up.

What should I wear on my Skywalk?

You should wear comfortable clothing and shoes suitable for walking. Regulations require enclosed shoes with no open toes. We suggest wearing shoes that offer support and grip. You will be provided with a Skysuit that is worn over your own clothing. No loose items will be allowed on the Skywalk. Guests with prescription glasses and sun-glasses will be provided with an attachment to secure them.

Can I take my camera on Skywalk?

No. Loose items cannot be taken on Skywalk, including cameras, camcorders and mobile phones. A photographer will take photos of you during your tour and these photos will be available to purchase at the Observation Desk counter after your Skywalk Tour. You can purchase printed copies or a CD of images.

What will I do with my valuables?

Lockers are provided to keep your valuables secure, including handbags, cameras, mobile phones and loose coins. These are big enough to fit only a small back-pack. We are unable to safely store larger backpacks or suitcases.

Do Skywalks depart in all weather conditions?

Skywalks depart every day of the week, all year (except Christmas Day). They run in
all weather conditions (except electrical storms and extremely high winds). During wet weather conditions you will be supplied with a rain jacket.

Is Skywalk wheelchair accessible?

Yes, Skywalk is wheelchair accessible. Please note that to book your tickets you must phone or email us at least 48 hours in advance at reservations@sydneyattractions.com.au or + (61 2) 9333 9200.

Are there any age restrictions?

Yes, Skywalkers are restricted to 10 years+ for safety requirements. Children between the ages of 10 -17 years old must be accompanied by an adult.

Are there any health restrictions?

Skywalk is not strenuous and can be completed by people of all ages (above 10 years old). Skywalkers only need to walk two flights of stairs to the rooftop. Skywalkers must sign a declaration form that states you do not suffer from any medical conditions that prevent you from comfortably and safely completing your Skywalk.

What about drinking alcohol prior to doing a Skywalk?

As all Skywalkers will be breath tested upon check in, it is imperative you do not drink alcohol prior to your Skywalk. You will not be permitted to take part if your Blood Alcohol Concentration is 0.05% or greater, or if you are under the influence of drugs (legal or illegal). If you refuse to be breath tested you will not be able to participate and your ticket will be non-refundable.

Should I go on Skywalk if I am afraid of heights?

Yes. Skywalk is completely safe as you will be in a safety- harness and attached to the external walkways at all times. If you do have a fear of heights, it is best to inform your Skyguide to ensure you feel safe and secure during the tour.
