For Winter 2021/2022, the SkyTerrace is open Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 10am until 6pm.
Typically, the SkyTerrace is only good for viewing purposes. For photography, apart from shooting the gates right in front of the terrace, the deck's double paned glass gives horrible reflections in photos. If you are a photographer, avoid this spot.
