SkyWheel Myrtle Beach

I visited a week after labor day. The beach was largely deserted and there was no line. Since this will likely be my only visit to Myrtle Beach I figure i should at least ride the big wheel. Since there were almost no other riders, the 4 spins of the wheel went by quickly. I can imagine that if I were here in season the ride would have taken longer to load the wheel making it a more interesting experience. The facility was very well maintained and the wheel looked like it was almost new. The staff seemed tired and were not particularly friendly like i would expect in a carnival. Maybe this is the end of their season and their energy was preparing for the winter. They were efficient and professional. Was it worth $21 to see the beach from on high?

Had a great experience on the SkyWheel in Myrtle Beach! The ocean view from the top is absolutely stunning — a must-try when visiting. Each ride is about 3 rounds (around 5 minutes), and it even pauses at the top long enough to really enjoy the fantastic view. Highly recommend!

Skywheel was really cool. Don't really like heights but if you decide to do it, it's a really neat experience. Great views overlooking the ocean and area. The cabins are cool so it's not hot, and they are also clean.

We took the sunrise trip to bring in a special occassion. The view from the top is awesome. Unfortunately, the morning we took the ride it was very cloudy as a storm was on the brink of moving in. The clouds took away from what would have been a memorable sunrise view. Nevertheless, the Skywheel experience itself was good. Too short for the price paid for a sunrise view. So, in our view, we did not get value for money. But that's life. Definitely recommended though maybe not the expensive sunrise one depending on the weather forecast

We only went because the hotel offered BOGO tickets. 2 adults and child with the BOGO was $39 but add $18 to that without BOGO. 4 rotations approximately 10 minutes or so. Staff was great though. We have a mobility scooter and they put the ramps on without any hesitation. The one gentleman I wish I got his name was fantastic! Every rotation he had on a different disguise. A pig nose, clown nose, funny glasses and a Pinocchio nose. Our 5 yo loved it! I had a little anxiety at first because I'm afraid of heights but it wasn't too bad. The gondolas were nice and air conditioned. We got our pictures taken before we boarded and offered photo packages. 24.99 and 34.99. I didn't want all of the same picture offered and couldn't just purchase one photo, so we didn't buy them. I didn't think it was worth it to spend that much on tickets and more on photos. But awesome views of the boardwalk and beach. Do recommend doing it at least once.

This was a good time my oldest and I loved it. The staff was super friendly. The cars were very clean and loved that each car had AC in it.

Totally worth the money. The views are amazing. Got my tickets in advance and the line moved pretty quick. I would definitely recommend doing this.
