Why it's worth checking out
The Skyneedle sits on Manning Street in South Brisbane, near the beloved South Bank precinct. With 16 reviews behind its 4.1 rating, it's a well-loved landmark.
The appeal is a genuine Brisbane icon — the Skyneedle, a striking spire built for World Expo 88 and a lasting symbol of the city, a lovely landmark for a photo and a moment of the city's history near the lovely South Bank parklands. It's a lovely, free stop.
Landmarks and their surrounds change over time. Otherwise it's a free spot to enjoy any time you're exploring South Bank — bring your camera and make a day of the wider parklands precinct.
