If you’ve ever gone to a state fair or visited a local festival with a midway, then chances are good that at some point you’ve ridden a ferris wheel. The Myrtle Beach SkyWheel is much more than just a ferris wheel. It’s an “observation wheel” and one of the tallest in the world. It’s the number one attraction in Myrtle Beach, and you’re going to want to try it.
Flickr/Martin Lewison Towering 200 feet above the sea level, the SkyWheel is unique in many ways.
Flickr/Forsaken Fotos Most of all, though, it has 42 climated-controlled gondalas, each comfortably seating six passengers.
Flickr/Forsaken Fotos The wheel is the centerpiece of the 1.2 mile Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade. If you like people watching you should try it from high atop the SkyWheel.
Flickr/Forsaken Fotos Of course, if you just like checking out long-range views of The Grand Strand, then you’re in for a treat.
Flickr/Photog aka eddie penland It’s also a treat to ride this 18-story observation wheel at night. Want to see how it feels to be on the SkyWheel? Check out this video.
Flickr/Forsaken Fotos Insider’s tip: Bring a camera and take a lot of photos. This is truly a unique vantage point on the Grand Strand.
