The Sydney Tower Eye has rejoiced in the magic of Christmas with the launch of the Santa's Highest Grotto in Sydney.

To celebrate, SKYWALK was transformed into a Santa-Walk as nine Santas lined up against the iconic Sydney landscape, 268 metres above street level.

The Observation Deck at the Sydney Tower Eye has been transformed into an enchanted wonderland complete with a fireplace, festive music and a Christmas tree. Children, families and friends alike can enjoy the wonderful magic of Christmas and share their Christmas wish list with the man in red.

Children will also receive free gifts from Santa's bag of toys and have the opportunity to take their photo with Santa home for FREE.

"We are thrilled to have the highest Santa at the Sydney Tower Eye this year. It is a great way for families and friends to take part in the Christmas festivities. Whether it's a family tradition, a gift or just for fun, Santa's Highest Grotto has something for everyone," commented Ian Wood, General Manager, Sydney Tower Eye.

Santa will be greeting children and adults alike from the Observation Deck at the Sydney Tower Eye from 4pm till 7pm weekdays, and 12pm till 6pm on weekends. From 21st December, Santa will be greeting guests from 10am right through to 6pm.
