Skyviews Miami Observation Wheel
A 200-foot Ferris-style observation wheel at Bayside Marketplace overlooking the bay and skyline.
The call
Worth it for the right traveler.
Why
- 01
A quick, breezy way to get an elevated skyline-and-bay view from an air-conditioned gondola, nicest at sunset.
Our read - 02
The catch: at around $20 a head it's a modestly tall ride (~200 ft) that's overpriced for what it delivers — a pleasant ~12-15 minute spin you'll forget by dinner.
