Here are 15 things you should check out if you're looking out for some cheap thrills (literally):
2. Fly off the Sky Tower
Standing at an impressive 328m, the Sky Tower is the most iconic building of Auckland’s skyline. At 192m off the ground, you can enjoy some grand panoramic shots of the city.
But if you’re up for more adventure, the Sky Tower also provides adrenaline-pumping activities such as the SkyWalk – where you can walk on a platform at the top of the tower – and the SkyJump, where you can bungy jump off the tower.
Admission costs NZ$28 NZD (about $27.40) per adult, NZ$11 per child and is free for children below six years of age.
