I recently visited Sky Views Observatory whilst staying in Dubai. The experience was somewhat mixed, as I enjoyed the views and the glass walkway was a great experience - but the entry process and long queues did spoil the experience.
I booked tickets via Headout, but it isn’t made clear you need to collect the tickets for their ticketing desk. After queuing 15 minutes in security, we were sent to another queue for them to issue tickets - to then stand again in the security queue again. The entry ordeal took nearly 40 minutes - but could have easily been avoided with some clear signage and better instructions on Headout.
As mentioned above, the views, especially of The Burj were outstanding, so it was worth the entry for that. We did get the slide also included in our ticket, but there was another long queue for that, so we decided not to partake.
Overall, I think it was worth the money for the fantastic views, but if tickets are bought through a third party - make sure you visit the ticket desk first.
