Definitely a must-see if you're in the area. I purchased my ticket online and with the "senior" discount, it cost me around $6.50 USD. I visited late morning on a weekday, and there was no line. I was on the high-speed elevator in under a minute for a quick trip to the observation deck, which is just below the building's platform. It was slightly hazy on a February day, but the view was fantastic. There were only a handful of visitors, which was pleasant. Besides the view, there's a small museum showcasing traditional women's clothing and a few lovely bamboo structures. There's also a gift shop where you can grab a free bottle of water (warm) and buy some souvenirs that are a bit overpriced. I took some great pictures and was ready to leave after about 20 minutes.

Amazing views of Ho Chi Minh City from the 49th floor of the Skydeck building. I just popped in and got tickets at the entrance, no queues, and quickly took the lift up, guided by friendly staff. No cafe or food options available.

Quick ride in the elevator. There's a small gift shop at the top with complimentary water. A mini exhibit on traditional outfits is also available. The view was a bit hazy/cloudy during our visit. We went around 4:30 PM, and there was no queue at that time.

Cost about 50 AUD for 2 adults and 2 children. Timing your visit is essential for the best visibility. It's reasonably worth it if you haven't experienced similar sights. Currently, there's bamboo art on display, which is wonderful. Just do it and then go enjoy some pho.

We visited after dark. The view is quite impressive, especially for those not accustomed to seeing many skyscrapers. The ticket price is a bit high for what is offered. Some glass walls have dot patterns, limiting photo opportunities to certain angles. Light from the interior often reflects in the glass, making the glass wall visible in many of the pictures.
