The Sun Dial View Level — tickets, height & honest verdict

Also searched as: Westin Peachtree Plaza observation deck · Sun Dial restaurant view · Atlanta observation deck

TL;DR: Atlanta's 723 ft View Level atop the cylindrical Westin Peachtree Plaza, reached by a scenic glass elevator that climbs the outside of the building. Still open ($14, daily 12–5pm) — but know the honest asterisk: the celebrated revolving restaurant no longer revolves; the rotation mechanism is out of service.

Worth it if…

Yes for the ride and the reach: the exterior glass elevator is 85 seconds of genuine spectacle, and from 72 floors the view runs from the downtown connector to Stone Mountain and, on clear days, the Appalachian foothills. At $14 it's among the cheapest true high decks in the country.

Pick another deck if…

You're coming specifically for the rotating-dining experience — that's the part that currently doesn't work. And the View Level's 12–5pm window means no sunset from the observation product itself; the evening equivalents are the (pricier) dinner or the 73rd-floor bar.

Best time to visit

The 85-second glass-elevator ride up the outside of the cylinder is the attraction — take it in daylight for the ascent, and consider returning to the 73rd-floor bar after dark.

Hours: View Level daily roughly 11am/12pm–5pm (the operator's own pages differ) — and private bookings close it without notice often enough that the operator itself says call 404-589-7506 before visiting. · Pricing note: View Level $14 (per the operator's own site — some tourism listings carry stale hours/prices). The famous rotation mechanism is currently OUT OF SERVICE: the restaurant no longer revolves. Dinner (Sun–Thu 6–10pm, Fri–Sat to 11pm) and the 73rd-floor bar are separate.

Tips from the deck

Ride the glass elevator on the way UP in daylight — the exterior ascent is the photo, and it's included.
Sunset strategy: View Level by day for $14, then the 73rd-floor Sun Dial Bar after dark (reopened Feb 2025; 21+, $35/guest minimum) — two visits, still cheaper than most coastal decks.
Verify hours on the operator's own site (sundialrestaurant.com); city tourism listings have carried stale schedules.
Centennial Olympic Park, the Aquarium, and the World of Coca-Cola are a 10-minute walk downhill — natural pairings.

Where The Sun Dial View Level is — and the other Atlanta decks

The Sun Dial View Level — quick answers

Does the Sun Dial restaurant still revolve?

Not currently — the rotation mechanism is out of service, so the dining room sits still. The 360° View Level observation experience one floor below is unaffected: you walk the circle yourself.

Is the Atlanta Sun Dial observation deck open?

Yes — the View Level runs daily 12pm–5pm at $14 (verified against the operator's own site, August 2026). The restaurant serves dinner evenings and the 73rd-floor bar operates separately.

Does Atlanta have any other observation deck?

Not a true one — the Sun Dial is Atlanta's only ticketed building deck. SkyView Atlanta is a 200 ft Ferris wheel (a ride, not a deck), Ponce City Market's rooftop Skyline Park ($15) is the nearest elevated alternative, and the Jackson Street Bridge is the free classic skyline photo spot. A deck atop Bank of America Plaza (1,023 ft, the city's tallest) has been discussed for years with no announced timeline.

What's the elevator like?

A glass car that climbs the OUTSIDE of the 73-story cylinder for about 85 seconds — for many visitors it's the best part of the ticket. Not recommended for serious elevator anxiety; call ahead for interior-core accessibility arrangements.
