    Nice views from above. But it doesn't take you too up high. The tickets are little too pricey for the ride.

    Haven’t ridden it and probably never will. Heights aren’t my thing. But the wheel is beautiful and an amazing feat of engineering. Some facts: Height: 150 feet (about 45 meters) — tall enough to clear the treetops and give unobstructed 360° views. • 36 enclosed, climate-controlled gondolas (each holds up to 6 people; one is a VIP glass-floor gondola).

    The SkyStar Wheel at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco is a large observation wheel offering panoramic views of the city, the bay, Alcatraz, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Positioned along the historic waterfront, it adds a modern, vibrant element to the classic Fisherman’s Wharf experience.

    It felt like I was sitting in a air fryer for 45 minutes. The ride kept stopping to load more on. It was getting so hot with the sun shining and no air conditioning. I've been on other wheels and this was the worse
