This 187-foot tall Ferris wheel amusement ride and landmark opened recently in the 2011 and has quickly become hugely popular within a very short time and today is one of the most crowded tourist destinations in Downtown Myrtle Beach.

About Myrtle Beach SkyWheel:

The Myrtle Beach Skywheel Ferris Wheel is the second-tallest wheel in America. Open between 11 AM and 9 PM daily, the climate controlled enclosed glass gondolas allow guests to see miles of the Myrtle Beach coastline and Grand Strand during day and night. The Skywheel has 42 glass-enclosed gondolas that can seat 2 to 6 persons. No strangers are seated together so the experience is private and the gondolas are kid friendly and handicap accessible. Several gondolas are custom made with glass bottom floors and luxurious leather seats for a VIP Experience, which also provides for a longer flight with extra revolutions. Pricing for the VIP Flights is $50 for adults and $35 for children with accompanying adult. Tickets for a normal flight are available on site with adult admission costing $13 and children’s tickets costing $9.

The Skywheel is part of the 1.2-mile long boardwalk at the oceanfront. There are convenient paid parking lots nearby. You can peruse the souvenir shop, LandShark SurfShack or grab a bite at the Bar & Grill at the base of the wheel or you can venture down the boardwalk and enjoy the many restaurants.
