Things to know before you go

• Wheelchair-accessible seating is available at SkyFeast, but it is limited, so arrange with the venue when booking.

• SkyFeast sources its meat from a certified halal butcher, but it’s not a halal restaurant, so there's no guarantee that meals will be prepared following halal regulations.

• Kids under 12 eat for free at SkyFeast on their birthday when dining with a paying adult (some restrictions apply).

How to get there

The Sydney Tower Eye is in central Sydney, right beside Hyde Park, so it’s easily accessible from around the city. The closest train station is St. James.
