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!

It was a little expensive for my taste but the view of the area was good none the less. If I didn't have a coupon I would not have gone.

Beautiful views to be had up and away on the Sky Wheel. Air conditioned or heated, glass enclosed. Kids love to look below. A bit pricy but everyone enjoyed the ride. In the center of Myrtle Beach.

You HAVE to do this if you travel to Myrtle Beach. Well worth the cost of the ticket as well as being able to see so much of the coast and take pictures.

The largest ferriswheel in the eastern US provides a very nice overview of Myrtle Beach, and is definitely worth your time. You get to sit on it for about 10 minutes; we did four revolutions. It does however, feel a bit pricey; $13 per person.

Air conditioned pods. Very clean. Great view. Family loved it. There is a restaurant connected to this Skywheel, a little pricey but good beer on tap.

The Big Wheel is special to Myrtle Beach and is a focal point for us. Worth the effort and a great memory. The cost was a little high but the top view makes it worth it. Must do it once, at least.

We took a group down to the SkyWheel while visiting friends. It was quite busy this past Friday early afternoon, but right away we got friendly service from the ticket agent. She was very helpful since we had not been on the SkyWheel before. The ride was fun and view was fantastic. Great ride for the children. Try it out... More
