Open Daily, Year Round
I am a sucker for a Skywheel, or as I remember them as a child Ferris wheels. Whenever I see them on our travel I simply must ride them. One of the best views of the boardwalk and beach is from the top of the Myrtle Beach Skywheel.The best time to ride the Skywheeel is during the day, however, the Skywheel itself is light up at night and makes for a great photo. It doesn’t matter what time of year your Myrtle Beach getaway is as the Skywheel is open daily year round. Tickets can be purchased in advance online or onsite, adults 12+ are $14, children 3-11 $9 and children under 2 are free.

Cutting-Edge Lighting System
Fly high above the Atlantic Ocean with a ride on Myrtle Beach SkyWheel, a 57 m Ferris wheel opened in 2011. The wheel features 42 glass-enclosed, air-conditioned gondolas, each with bucket seating for six and UV protective windows designed for optimal viewing. The highlight of the wheel is a cutting-edge lighting system with more than one million LEDs, capable of creating a range of light effects best appreciated after sunset. Remember that vistas of the Myrtle Beach shoreline change at different times of day, providing you with a new perspective each time you ride the wheel. Avoid standing in long lines by booking your tickets online or by phone.
