    Lit up at night, price varies higher for sunrise and sunset. Lower in the mid day. Not very active on weekdays but a busy evening on weekends. Hint: There are discount coupons in the local booklets that are in hotels.

    I love love love this.. granted it was my first time on it and it wasn't summer busy but staff was nice and fun.. I felt like I got plenty of time on ride even tho I did tell her to keep going lol.. it's individually climate controlled so not stuffy at all.. pretty comfy for what it is.. it's not terrible price and I went by myself because I can not get anyone to go with..it did freak me out a little at top when it stopped.. the car swayed just a little bit not bad but I really did have great time! You can eat down at restaurant attached too.. that's something I'm saving til next time! I highly recommend!!

    Worth it. No notes, grateful for the experience with our kids and for the seemingly extra rotation we got!

    It is Home To The Tallest Observation Wheel on the East Coast The Myrtle Beach SkyWheel takes guests high in its 42 six-person gondolas. The ride offers an expansive view and plenty of photo ops, and the gondolas are climate-controlled for comfort. If you're looking for things to do in Myrtle Beach for an upcoming vacation, the SkyWheel has likely appeared on every best-of list you've found. This colorful landmark on the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk towers over the shoreline, entertaining visitors and locals with endless views from comfy, private gondolas. Fact: the SkyWheel is officially considered an observation wheel" because each private capsule is fully enclosed and temperature-controlled for year-round enjoyment." Skywheel Myrtle Beach is located at the heart of the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, between North Ocean Blvd and 11th Avenue North, making it easily accessible to tourists

    My son has been dying to try the Skywheel. We were staying nearby and decided to check it out. It is expensive and cost us $60 for two adults and one child in December. We had our own car which was clean and quiet. The views were beautiful, and we love seeing the ocean from the top of the wheel. The employees were funny and messing with my husband who was nervous about the wheel. I think it was fun to try, but we may wait a while to do it again because of the price.

    Great views of Myrtle Beach! I enjoyed the experience. Kid friendly I was able to take my 6 month old on and he enjoyed the views too. The prices are on the higher end. They take your photo at the beginning and try to sell em to you at the end. I would love to go again next time in town.

    How did they know we were coming ?

    I've been on my Ferris wheel rides before, but none of them really compared to this one. While there's not too much to say about a Ferris wheel, it's pretty straight forward, it's a big wheel and you go around and around and gasp on the glorious city views that surround you,,, this one had some key differences and takeaways. 1: the wheel felt secure. It wasn't shaking and rocking as much as your typical wheel would, which made it far less scary. 2: it was covered completely and air conditioned inside! Yes that's right, you can enjoy this wheel when it's raining and when it's blazing hot as well! 3: it was very clean. You didn't sit on buble gum and candy wrappers. For those reasons I have to highlight my experience at the SkyWheel at Myrtle beach! I would absolutely go back again

    Such an icon on the waterfront of Myrtle Beach. I've never ridden a Ferris wheel on the beach and this is one that gives great views. For a short 15 minute ride it is so relaxing because you get a front seat and unique view of the Atlantic Ocean. The staff is very nice and it's fun every time I went around they gave me a wave! Must see recommendation when visiting this lovely resort town.

    Visited the Skywheel on Father's Day, after dinner. Unfortunately, because I use a power wheelchair, we couldn't all fit into the same gondola. However, I was pleased that it was accessible at all. Our nephew rode with my boyfriend and I, and he's quite the hambone. There is a video, but I won't post it because it's mostly the three of us freaking out and the language used is not family appropriate. We had the best time. It was terrifying and exciting, a gorgeous view and the threat of death all at once. I mean, clearly there wasn't any threat of death, but every time the gondola swayed we certainly acted like it. Hilarious and exhilarating. Would recommend.

    Mike M.

    This was a spur of the moment activity that was a pleasant one and that I would recommend. It wasn't expensive ($13) and provided great views of Myrtle Beach in air conditioned comfort. The ride lasts 4 complete revolutions and moves somewhat slowly so you get your moneys worth. Each car can seat up to 8 people. Great photo opportunities.

    It's over $20 per person - and really quick. Views are good - but not worth the price.

So entering the park I came through an alley way into the park and I was kinda like ok but hey it worked so I went straight to the ticket kiosk to get some to ride The Swamp Fox so they do let you buy individual tickets but if you use your credit card there is a surcharge fee as well as a $2 activation fee for the amusement card so keep that in mind! So after one ride on the swamp Fox I knew I had to get one more as it was just a solid fun wooden coaster that was very smooth and totally good from start to finish perfect for all ages! Across the park they had various other rides but none of them really made me want to ride them other than Swamp Fox. Overall it was a good time and worth the trip here to ride it so if your a coaster junky add it to your list if not and your in the area totally ride it because it's a lot of fun!

Wonder Works is great for a first date or even a fun family outing. 1st Floor includes the lobby, gift shop, Wonder Cafe, Hurricane Shack, Xtreme 360 Bikes, Physical Challenge Zone, and party room. 2nd Floor includes Laser Tag. If you have a little child, you may be able to take turns and go in different heats. 3rd Floor includes the wall of illusions, XD Theater, draw alive, Wonder Coaster, Bed of Nails, Bubble Lab, and STEM Room. 4th Floor includes space discovery, ropes course, arcade games that you purchase to play, art of Dr Seuss, Imagination Lab, and Interactive Sandbox. My favorite was the digital Wonder Coaster. It is an indoor ride that follows along a video of a roller coaster flipping you and spinning you like the real thing. I recommend wear closed toe shoes and comfortable clothing so you are able to ride majority of the attractions inside. You can also add on the Wonder Works casebook and slice different riddles as you explore the four levels.

It's a fun spot for kids, but as an adult, I wouldn't feel the need to go back. It can get pretty crowded, so I'd recommend going early on a weekday instead of the weekend if you can. A few of the exhibits weren't working during my visit, which was a little disappointing. While it's entertaining, I do think the price is a bit high--around $35 per person would feel more reasonable than $40. Overall, it's a decent way to spend some time, especially for families, but not something I'd go out of my way to do again.
