An Apollonaut travel guide
Information you can follow.
Our editorial approach begins with a simple question: where does this information come from?

The scope of this page
Research here means checking information used in our visitor guidance and cultural writing. It does not mean that Apollonaut operates a laboratory, employs an academic research department or has completed original scientific studies.
For visiting hours, admission and visitor rules, the first source is SkyPoint’s own website. For the tower and Surfers Paradise we used general references that cite their sources. All can be read directly through the links provided.
A method readers can inspect
-
Start with the relevant source
Use SkyPoint for its own visitor rules and history. Use an identified reference for dates and architectural facts.
-
Keep time-sensitive details dated
Prices, opening hours, event closures and eligibility can change. A past arrangement or old tariff must not become a current promise.
-
Separate fact from interpretation
A sourced date is different from an editorial impression. Make the distinction clear in the writing.
-
Keep uncertainty visible
If sources disagree or a detail is unverified, omit the claim or explain the limit. Heights, for example, depend on what is measured: Q1 is 322.5 metres to its spire, while SkyPoint gives about 230 metres for the deck.
Reading prices fairly
A starting price, an entry price and the total charged for a booking are different figures. A useful comparison must identify the same access, visitor category, date, currency and included fees.
Our prices are in Australian dollars and include our service fee, so they are higher than SkyPoint’s own prices in Australian dollars. We do not claim the lowest price or publish a market comparison.
Corrections belong with the content
The aim is to make source links and meaningful updates easy to find. A material correction should explain what changed rather than quietly leaving contradictory information elsewhere on the site.
The heritage and history copy was checked against the reading links below on 9 November 2026. This date records that review; it is not a guarantee that future opening hours or admission rules will remain the same.
