Due to popular demand, ZANZ has organised the 2013 Navroze lunch at The Observatory Restaurant once again. In 2011, this event was sold out a month in advance so if you want to attend this year, please call us ASAP to avoid disappointment.

The Observatory offers you magnificent views of the Auckland Harbour while dining on a sumptuous buffet. You also enjoy FREE access to Sky Tower's Main Observation Level and the Sky Lounge Café and Bar before or after dining (normal cost $28/adult).

We have got two FANTASTIC deals for you but you have to be quick as space is limited to a maximum of 150 people. In order to take full advantage of the great discounts, payments must be received by the stated deadlines.

The last date to pay the Early Bird rate is 21st February 2013 (unless all tickets are sold prior to the date).

The last date for later bookings is March 7th 2011 (unless we sell out earlier).

COST

BOOKINGS WILL ONLY BE CONFIRMED AFTER PAYMENT IS RECEIVED.

Some more reasons to attend…

All members’ parents & children under 25 can attend at Members’ Rates.

All Zoroastrian families who have immigrated to New Zealand in the past 12 months are invited to attend at Members’ Rates.

It normally costs $28 just to visit the Sky Tower’s Main Observation Level. For only a few dollars more you can enjoy a sumptuous buffet as well (see menu below).

The regular price for the lunch buffet is $49 for adults and $25 per child 4-9 years old and $35 per child 10-14 years old. So don’t miss this great opportunity with savings up to $12 per adult.
