- Myrtle Beach SkyWheelJune 6, 2013Situated as the centerpiece of the 1.2 mile-long Oceanfront Boardwalk and Promenade the Myrtle Beach SkyWheel is the first observation wheel of its kind in the United States
Social News NetworkFebruary 14, 2013Along with the A/C gondolas, this wheel has one million lights, creating quite a light show at night. If you're afraid of heights, the breath-taking view will have no problem distracting you
Brandon CainJuly 21, 2015Fun "ferris" wheel. Carts have A/C. Great view of the beach during day or night. Longer lines at night: Discounts for military members
Cody RhodamerAugust 15, 2014Always busy but go during the fireworks show every Wednesday on the boardwalk!
Photo Tip: If you want to take photos inside the gondolas on the ride, take a black t-shirt with you, turn your flash off, and get someone to hold the t-shirt behind your head to block out the glare.
Janel MitchellJune 5, 2015I wish we had been told about the VIP seating before we went back, it costs more but you get no waiting leather seats and see-through floors, and unlimited rides.
- Photo Tip: Use a circular polarizer filter to reduce the glare inside the gondolas for the best photos you can capture.
AmyJuly 20, 2012We went on at night and it was nice but you probably have better views during the day or at sunset. There is also a self serve ticket machine out front if you don't want to stand in the ticket line.
Matt CasonJuly 22, 2013Everyone has to do this once or more if up to it. Great view and comfortable gondolas. Worth the wait and price.- Myrtle Beach SkyWheelJune 6, 2013Take a flight overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk in one of our 42 climate controlled fully enclosed gondolas.

Brian KiserOctober 29, 2017I'd never get on the damn thing (too scary), but I love watching it change colors at night!
KC DervetskiAugust 22, 2013Coupons available in the books or use your vmb card for a discount. Once is enough. It was fun, especially on a rainy day!- Missy ThompsonJuly 30, 2014Great views, and nice comfy cool gondolas. Worth it. And very little wait mid day.

Sarah BeyelSeptember 27, 2011Go during the sunset, the sky will add more beauty to the view AND the lights turn on during your ride!!
Doug McCarthyJuly 7, 2016After being on the high roller in Las Vegas nothing compares... 14 per person little steep!
Eren BrumleyNovember 30, 2014It's fun. It goes slow so if you are prone to motions sickness you will be ok (except while you wait for it to start).
Worth a wait in line, awesome view of the beach, and they dont pack you in with strangers which is a plus!
Myrtle BeachOctober 14, 2011This is a MUST ride attraction. Visit their website for details www.skywheelusa.com
