Cindy ·Seven whole minutes! The view is good, but the views from the surrounding streets and neighborhoods are just as good and they are free 
Fantastic attraction if limited mobility
Maricar L ·The SkyStar Wheel was amazing. I have limited mob ility and try my best to avoid stairs. All staff was very mindful of my accessi bility issues and was loaded onto a space with 1-step and they did not rush me at all. Each cabin is private to whomever is in your party and was air-conditioned which was nice on a hot day. I would def initel y do this attr actio n again!
So fun
I wasn’t planning on getting on this, but it actually was so much fun. I went just in time during sunset and it was such a beautiful year took lots of amazing pictures.
Bien
Lina ·me gustó. lo hice dos veces, uno de pago por 19 usd en el dia y luego de noche con este tiquete. se ve la ciudad muy linda y la bahía. es un paseo corto y ameno
SkyStar Wheel, Fisherman's Wharf - Better at night
Kev - UK ·You get a good view of the city, but the view over the bay was dampened by a construction site on the water. Probably best to do this at night time. The staff were friendly as well.
