Bungee Jump & SkyJump (High Fall)
Want to bungee jump without flying to New Zealand? At Macau Tower, you can experience the thrill of free-falling at speeds up to 200 km/h for 4–5 seconds—a pure adrenaline rush. Fans of Running Man’s Macau episode will remember how brave Ji-hyo was when she just jumped right in!

What makes Macau Tower’s bungee unique is its 50-meter bungee cord that stretches to four times its length before rebounding you 30 meters back up. Thanks to specialized zO steel cables, after multiple rebounds, you’ll gradually land on a safety airbag—giving you time to enjoy the stunning aerial views.
■ Operating Hours: Weekdays 10:00–18:30, Friday 10:00–21:00, weekends 10:00–22:00

If you’re not into the sudden plunge of bungee jumping, Macau Tower also offers the High Fly Jump option. Unlike free-fall bungee, the High Fly Jump uses “Fan Descenders” to gently lower you at 75 km/h, landing smoothly without bouncing—even upside down. Enjoy up to 17 seconds of flying with the whole of Macau beneath you.
Prefer to share the thrill? The High Fly Jump also offers a tandem option—bring a friend along and dive into this ultra-intense adventure together.

There are a total of three magic shows with intermissions in between. The first two shows feature international master magicians with unique skills, while the third show in the main theater showcases the latest exclusive magic performance “Mega Magic” created by resident master Franz Harary specifically for The House of Magic. Even if you’re not a big magic fan, this one-and-a-half-hour immersive experience will leave you absolutely amazed.
