We were attending a weekend, event at the children's museum, and decided to bring our children to the ferris wheel after. The best pricing for a party of four was on Groupon, so that's what we used. The ride includes four rotations. I was surprised at how quickly the ride moves, even though it was a reasonable pace. The pods are temperature controlled, and have an emergency call button in case someone needs to exit early. The button alerts the staff on the ground, and they will stop the ride to let you off on the next rotation. It was pretty empty when we were there. They have upsell items that we were not interested in: a single rose for $10, a teddy bear for $15, and souvenir pictures on a themed backdrop. To exit the attraction, you walk through the area where your pictures would be and a patio where there are stands to buy snack foods and sweet treats. read more

Well these wheels seem to be popping up in various places & depending where u are it can be fun, here ahhh. Long lines don't help it & for the most part the views aren't even that impressive they say u should do it at night & it's probably since the city is lit up it can Look better? Day time may be too hot. We did come by at night before closing time since it was our only free time & it really was not worth it in my opinion, this is one of those things that it's a personal preference If u want to visit it or not, can't say it's a "must see". read more

It's a focal point when you head towards centennial park. Kids really wanted to try it so I got tickets. Man it was expensive to go 4 rounds around this thing. The pods are nice but it was not worth the price imo. We went during the day my advice would be to go at night if it's something you really feel you can't miss to catch the beautiful city lights for pictures. Personally if I were to redo it I'd probably skip it. No one offered us to take pictures everyone was preoccupied no one talked to us I had to ask questions to the staff to get clarity because it just didn't make sense what was happening just a bunch of checked out people who are clearly over it lol there is a food truck that when you exit you will walk by that I heard good things about. read more

Next up on our post-MomoCon adventure: a thrilling ride on Skyview Atlanta! And talk about perfect timing - it was gloriously overcast and, even better, ZERO line! What more could you ask for?! The moment we were securely locked into our gondola, it was like magic... the lines started forming behind us! YES! We totally beat the rush! The city view from the top? Absolutely B-R-E-A-T-H-T-A-K-I-N-G! You get an unparalleled, sweeping panorama of our beautiful city, stretching for miles. Despite its impressive height, the ride itself is surprisingly smooth and doesn't move as fast as it appears, making it a truly pleasant and serene experience. I loved every moment and would absolutely come back for another spin. If you haven't already, do yourself a HUGE favor and ride Skyview Atlanta.

I've always wanted to check out the SkyView Ferris wheel, and I finally did it during the holidays. I found a Groupon deal that included a small box of chocolates--nice little bonus! Be prepared for crowds though--there were a lot of people and the line was long. It took us a good hour or so to make it to the front. But once we were on, it was worth it. The Ferris wheel is massive, and the view from the top is incredible. You can see everything! My fiancée really enjoyed it, and we got some great pictures to remember the experience. Definitely a fun one-time outing--unless you have kids, then it might be worth going again. read more

Clean area and skyboxes, the line moves quickly, staff are friendly, overall a good experience to end a date night! read more

Love this! It's a great way to see Olympic park, coke world and GA Aquarium. We've done this last time we were in ATL and have done it in Myrtle Beach. We got a Groupon which saved us about $10 Beautiful views and climate controlled gondolas. IMO a must do in ATL!! My only gripe would be the doors weren't clean. They were pretty cloudy so some views were obstructed by filth. I'd suggest cleaning them more often. read more

While visiting, this was one of our top places to go visit and experience we were not disappointed as you go around a few times and get to get a beautiful view of the city and Centennial Park. My kids and I enjoyed the experience and for under 20 bucks in person plus a discount for seniors veterans students. They also sell your pictures at the end for $40 which are actually pretty nice and a good memory to have definitely an experience you should at least do once while in Atlanta. read more

This is a really cute thing to do if you have visitors or are visiting. I'd say get a Groupon, it's often available and cuts the price down because it is pricy. Also go at night. read more

Went for Valentines Day. I'm afraid of heights so I only went around one complete time. The price was $20+ per person. The line actually wasn't that long for it to be a holiday. They take your picture in line, with hopes that you'll purchase it. You get to make 3 full circles around on the Ferris wheel, which for me was A lot.. overall it was fun, and I would probably ride it again. read more

Good- the experience itself, the view-would be better at night (will come back for that purpose), tickets can be bought in Groupon-although I was charged another $3 after paying for them already. Bad-windows were dirty, the wheel didn't really stop at the top for you to enjoy the view for maybe just a minute or two. We have ridden in other wheels like this and it was slower in rotation and we were able to enjoy the view at the very top bc it stopped. If you want to go for experience-I think going during the golden hour/night time might be better. Is this a must attraction to do while in Atlanta? No, but it was nice to sit in the air condition and see Atlanta from above. read more

We had to try this when we were in Atlanta. It was ok. You don't really ever just keep moving. The whole time we were on it, we stopped every few cars for them to have people get off and new ones back on. The light in our car wouldn't turn off, when we complained, they offered nothing. There were clean and spacious and service was friendly but not quite worth the price of the ticket. read more

We were passing by to see the Olympic park. My niece asked if we could get on the ferris wheel, as part of her birthday shenanigans I said yes. We loved getting to enjoy the view of downtown Atlanta. I do feel it is a bit too pricey for the amount of time you have in the air. Just be mindful when bringing your family, as it can add up fast. Was happy to experience it nonetheless. read more

It was decent. I wouldn't run back and do it again. The line was super fast , they let you go around 3 times, and they had air conditioning in the part you sit in to go around the Ferris wheel. I'd definitely suggest using a Groupon . read more

$65 for 3 people to ride it for maybe 7 minutes? Dirty, smelly inside and to AC was not working. What a joke.

Dirty, scratched up windows in the pods, stuffy smells and underwhelming staff! I regret purchasing this, even on Groupon. The views of Centennial Park were nice, but everything else was terrible. This is definitely a hard skip! Save your money!! read more

I was walking through Centennial Olympic Park one afternoon and saw this beautiful Ferris wheel all lit up and calling my name. I'm a sucker for a good Ferris wheel, whether it be the Texas Star® in Dallas or the famous London Eye or the Bailang River Bridge Ferris wheel in Weifang, China. I've ridden many of them. Here's the problem. All of those offer sweeping panoramas of intriguing scenery. SkyView Atlanta only offers a decent view of the park, but buildings block everything else including Atlanta's tallest skyscrapers and any sort of distant look at the horizon. It's just not in a good location. So you end up spending $18.51 per person to spin around four times, lingering near the top on the fourth circumnavigation, but seeing the same boring views over and over again. It's really not worth the time nor the money. read more

Cool but if you have been to the similar ones in Las Vegas or London it will be a let down. Those are so much larger and more impressive. This one in Atlanta is like a mini version of those, kinda like the child would be if those large ones had a baby with a ferris wheel. Parking is the worst so I would recommend not driving. At least once you are in the area you are directly across from the olympic park. Even if you have tickets already you still have to wait in line. Luckily the line moves pretty fast. Overall worth doing once for fun. read more

Great experience on the Skyview Atlanta. We took pictures prior to getting on and the staff were focused on keeping the line moving but very friendly. We looped around 5 times before disembarking which gave us plenty of time to take in the view and take pictures. read more

I came here with my family on a hot July afternoon. The units are air conditioned which was a relief from walking to get to the location. Up up and away you go for great views of the city buildings and olympic park, CNN, college football hall of fame, etc. A little pricey for what you get so see if a Groupon or other discounts are available. read more

This is cool experience to do if your staying at hotel located downtown Atlanta. We stopped over to take a ride before going to dinner around 8:15pm. It is a little unnerving with how high up you are, but you get use to it after while. The ride is only 7-10 minutes long. read more

We wrapped up our day with a ride on Skyview Atlanta, and it was such a fun experience with the family! I have to admit but I'm afraid of heights, so I was a little nervous at first. But the ride was surprisingly calm, and the views from the top made it all worth it. A lovely way to end a memorable day. read more

The only con is that the ride is so short for the price. Otherwise, highly enjoyable! I went during the middle of the day on a Friday so there was no line, however, we just missed getting into a gondola before the ride started, and had to wait. During the wait, my friend and I peppered the employee standing there with a million questions about the ride, visitors, busy seasons, etc. He patiently answered our questions, providing good content before we boarded a gondola. Given it was in the low 60s that day, I was happy to be in an enclosed space on a ferris wheel. We went around 4x and the views were spectacular! I could definitely seen Stone Mountain, and a bunch of other nearby, and far, landmarks. Before I knew it, we were back on the ground, absolutely not willing to buy the pictures we took before the ride (do they hit the camera with the ugly stick??? Jeez). Glad I was able to experience this ride, it's been on my mind for years. read more

Purchased my tickets from Groupon. It included a box of chocolates. Box of chocolates was very small but helped with the nerves, lololol! Once the wheel gets moving, the nerves went away. The hardest part is sitting in the sky waiting for the other passengers to load and unload. The wheel goes around about 4 times. Wasn't a long wait for a Saturday afternoon. Would love to go back again at night just to see the night time view of the skyline. 4 stars because they force you to take a photo before and then upsell you at the end. I understand the business side of it, but have this publicized on the website or something so People can be prepared for pictures and purchase. read more

It's a Ferris wheel. You go up and come back down. They load up 40 cars and then it's 3x around. The views are great! But this is a warning about the parking. They suggest using the lot on Luckie Street but the lot is a SCAM! Ignore all their signage because they are simply going to overcharge you. Came in at 3pm after Thanksgiving. There was no special even going on. With validation it's supposed to be $6. Up to a hour $10. They charged me $20 and scoffed that all my complaining was for $20. read more

I've been on a few Ferris wheels this one so to me the price was great however, you don't have a real view compared to the others, it is much much shorter and stops way too many times. They do have you take a picture beforehand but it isn't included in the price and it is air conditioned. If the price was lower it would be worth it. read more

Went here after landing in Georgia. It was underwhelming and overpriced. Definitely a skippable experience. It was $30 a person and we took 3 rounds on the carousel but there honestly wasn't much to see besides buildings and a few landmarks. Much more enjoyable to just walk through the park and see Atlanta by foot. read more

My son loves ferris wheels so of course we had to come here. It was nice and we went during the day, during the week so no line. Had to wait like 10 mins to start going around which wasn't fun for my son. Went around like 4x and it was entertaining. Got the groupon. read more

It was an ok experience. It's basically a Ferris wheel that goes around a few times. We came here when it was dark so we got to see the city lights of Downtown. That being said, this is not the safest area so we didn't feel too comfortable being here at night. Also, they try to scam you into parking at some overpriced parking lot claiming that is the only option. We literally found street parking right in front of it. Unless you're really into Ferris wheels, you can probably skip this one. read more

This was part of my birthday weekend festivities from my boyfriend. I was a little skeptical because I do NOT like heights. I asked the cashier how long each ride is and she said it goes around 4 times. I decided I could handle that! There were holiday decorations surrounding the wheel. A concession stand with a few tables surrounding it is set up near the back. The line was long but it moved really quickly. While we were waiting to get on, there was a photographer taking pictures of each group. We declined because we weren't about to pay for overpriced photos. The photos are placed on a wall for pickup after the ride. The view of the city is so pretty! The ride was smooth except for the occasional stop which caused us to rock back and forth. While it wasn't too bad, it didn't help with my fear. They offer VIP and date night packages. Overall, it was a fun touristy experience! read more
