SkyWheel Panama City Beach reviews
19We took the sunset ride. It was totally worth it. Beautiful views. A must do if vacationing in PCB.
I'm not a huge Ferris Wheel kind of guy my wife asked me to ride this with her. I actually enjoyed this and the view it offered. It was a bit overpriced but what are you gonna do.lol
Went on a Monday night. Not crowded at all.
We bought tickets online for 20% off.
Sunset tickets are a few bucks more but worth it.
The ride was not bad. They do not accept cash and you have to buy a prepaid credit card to buy tickets. It looked like the obstacle course or ropes course whatever you want to call it was out of commission today also. The staff was definitely friendly though
I've always loved ferris wheels, so this was really cool. And we ended up doing the combo package, after they made sure we knew that we could come back, another day, for the mini golf.
Terrible waste of money, the ride is handled poorly. We would go up half way and stay in that spot for several minutes then go back down and up the opposite way and go halfway and stay there a few minutes and back again.
It’s air conditioned & a very smooth ride. I’m not a fan of heights, but I barely noticed when we moved
When we went there was no line. It is $18.99 for 1 person for 4 rides around, the seating has AC and fully enclosed. A great view! You can also purchase pictures at the end for $29.99. They have multiple pictures that are dated and you get a magnet.
We had a corporate event (meeting) in the Pier Park location and the Skywheel was the highlight of our entertainment
If you can ride during "sunset" for amazing views of the gulf. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the experience
Highly recommend purchasing the Skywheel pics they take at beginning of ride great souvenir of PCB
We enjoyed our ride at night. Would like to go back during the day the next time we are in the area. Maybe a bit over priced, but beautiful views. AC inside and felt secure except for a bit of wobbling when it’s still (while others are loading/unloading) but that’s to be expected and perhaps a bit worse due to winds off the water. Wouldn’t recommend if you’re uneasy with heights. Only real complaint is that the worker at the front where we paid was unfriendly and hard to understand as though she was mumbling. When we left afterwards, we looked at our picture they took and said no thank you when asked if we wanted to purchase it, she then jerked all of them down with some attitude (about 10 others) even though those in the other pictures were still behind us and hadn’t passed through yet/ finished their ride. The windows inside could also use a cleaning as there was lots of fingerprints!
I went in there in a tube top that covered everything (just not my shoulders) and she told me I couldn’t ride when it just said “you couldn’t wear bathing suits” and i obviously wasn’t wearing a bathing suit.she said it was “family oriented”, like family’s can’t see my shoulders!
Fun park area that has a gorgeous Ferris wheel and a fun mini golf course. Kids had tons of fun
Only downside is that if you buy tickets from the website and may take a considerable amount of time before they show up. Maybe that was just my case. Still really fun
The mini golf is not a good experience. To start, the woman that you pay to play is very unfriendly. When I tried to pay, she rudely let me know that it was a card only establishment and cash was not accepted. What kind of business doesn't accept cash? After I paid with my credit card, we went out to the course. It was at this point that I felt very ripped off. The price was 15.99 to play. The course was in horrible shape. Aside from all the debris on most of the holes, the carpet on a lot of the holes were well worn, faded, and torn. It certainly was not worth anywhere near the cost to play.
Our annual trip to PCB this a must do every time! Great views, short lines. The cabins are air conditioned. Best time to do it, is at sunset
If i could i wouldn’t even leave a star! Tyler was no help, we had no ac the whole ride. When we tried to call 3 times during the ride he declined our calls and laughed when we got to the bottom trying to tell him the issue. When we finally got off and talked to him he blamed it on the connection. We talked to everyone else that rode and they had ac the whole time. We told him he needs to close that gondola and he laughed again. Never will go back. Also no refund cause “we got our ride”
Staff was really friendly, gentlemen who was working the wheel kept interacting with my son every time we passed which he loved.
Tourist time. Had to check it out. With Temps in upper 90's this was a good choice. Gondola are cooled. Pretty nice views. No wait when we went at lunch time on a Wednesday. Gave veterans discount
The view was great. The ride was shorter than expected/advertised. The drinks were not good so don't get the alcohol slushies.
