Skyviews is for first-timers, couples and families who want an easy look at the skyline from above; the trade-off is a short ride for the price and a location in busy, touristy Bayside.

Why you go

You come for the view. The wheel stands at Bayside Marketplace on the bay, and its enclosed, air-conditioned gondolas give you a slow loop over Biscayne Bay, the cruise ships at PortMiami and the downtown towers. A VIP gondola has a glass floor and leather seats. It rates 4.7 from 5,825 Google reviews. The ride itself is short, so think of it as a half-hour stop.

When to go

Google lists Monday through Thursday from 12 pm to 9 pm, and Friday through Sunday from 11 am to 10 pm. Sunset is the best time, when the light turns the bay gold and the towers start to light up, but it is also the busiest. A clear evening after dark gives you the lit skyline. The wheel stops in storms and lightning, so check the forecast.

Know before you go

Check current prices on their site; general boarding is a shared gondola for up to eight people, and the VIP ticket is a private gondola. Bayside has paid garage parking, and the Metromover's Bayfront Park and College/Bayside stations are a short walk away. Bags are fine in the gondola. Pair it with a harbor boat tour from the Bayside docks or a walk through Bayfront Park.
