Myrtle Beach SkyWheel | Myrtle Beach Homes

When the Myrtle Beach Skywheel opened in May of 2011, nobody realized how iconic of a landmark it would become to the skyline of Myrtle Beach. The skywheel which stands at 187 feet tall is the second largest wheel in the country and has quickly become one of the most popular attractions in Myrtle Beach and photo spot for visitors to the beach. At night the colorful LED lights decorate the sky.

The wheel contains 42 enclosed gondolas and rides normally last 8-10 minutes as the wheel makes three full revolutions. While you are up in the sky you can see miles of the beautiful landscape along the coast. Tickets are $9.00 for children ages 3-11 & $13 for those 12 and up. For more information, visit their website.

One of the newest things to do in Myrtle Beach is the brand new SkyWheel located at 1110 North Ocean Boulevard. The brand new SkyWheel allows visitors to soar 200 feet into the air in one of their 42 climate controlled gondolas.

Prices for a ride that run 8-12 minutes in length are as follows:

Adult ages 12-64 are $12.00
Children’s flights ages 3-11 are $8.00
Children 2 and under are FREE
Seniors (65+) receive $2.00 off full price adult flight

In addition to this being a great thing to do in Myrtle Beach as a ride, it is also a spectacular thing to see at night as the one million lights put one a spectacular light show. Here is a quick video sharing some of the awesome light show playing at night:
