A great way to cap off a walk along the boardwalk promenade. It is a tad pricey for just a few spins around the SkyWheel, but their are coupons in all the tourist magazines, and they also offer military and senior discounts. The wheel goes slow enough so that it's not scary for kids and you can get great photos... More

It was a great thing to do. It was well organized and the view was awesome. It was wheelchair accessable and allowed our friend to go with us because he was in a wheelchair and a lot of places cannot accomodate that.

Brought our two kids on this and we LOVED it! All of us fit in one hub together, and the view was amazing! The beach, the city... ah... took my breath away!

This is a great way to see a huge area of Myrtle Beach and the beautiful ocean. It was about $11 a ticket after a $2 hotel discount. The seats are comfortable. You are covered in this capsule thing and it's air conditioned. The wheel definitely goes slowly enought so you can sightsee and take good pictures, but it's not... More

Concept is interesting~ encloses, temperature controlled gondolas; great views but expensive. $17. P/p for 4-5 spins around. Fun to do once, wouldn't spend the money to do it again. Love the location, though, on the new boardwalk.

This thing is brand new and facility is nice. Ticket price was pricey but fair I guess, ride length was fair. We choosetito forego available coupons in order to go at sunset. If you go go at sunset. We were able to take in the lights and sights.

Such a pretty view! It's about 13/adult and 9/child.. It takes u around 3 times but its worth the view. And such a pretty sight at night, it lights up with many different colors

If you like ferris wheels, you're going to love SkyWheel! This thing is massive! The best part is being able to view the ocean, the shoreline and the skyline from above! We went around sunset, maybe little after. Perfect timing because it went from day to night and we got see everything all lit up!
