What visitors say
We bought tickets online (£12 for an adult, £10 for a child), which I thought was a really reasonable entrance fee for the Spinnaker Tower. The views across Portsmouth are exceptional, and there are 3 different viewing points to check out. We also grabbed a cream tea and a Diet Coke for £22. Again, we didn't mind this price because you're mainly paying for the stunning views and location. It was a standard cream tea using good branded food products, so we were happy to pay a little extra. Two pink proseccos came to £16. Check out my pictures for the views! Best of all, there was no time constraint once you're up there, unlike some tourist spots that rush you out. Customer service was brilliant from every single staff member—easily 10/10. Would highly recommend!

This was a great place. You can strain your eyes to see from Brighton to Southampton and get an amazing view of the Solent, Portsmouth Harbour and everything around. The glass is quite green so pictures might need adjusting. The 'open air' deck at the top isn't as good because the glass slants too much to photograph through but I'd certainly go again. It's also a day ticket so you can go up more than once.

Great views and history of Portsmouth, the Royal Navy, and Queen Victoria's Osbourne House on Isle is Wight. Additional stairs to the open air top are worth it. Option to add on High Tea at Clouds or grab a Cake and Tea treat on the ground level.

A lovely early evening drinks. We had booked for 7pm when Spinnaker Tower opened and the queue was handled quickly. I do think its a forest come first served for an actual wi dow seat, but all tables have a great view. Service is good and Maria looked after us well. Lovely glass of English champagne. You can also walk up to a viewing deck for more picture taking
