“Taking a ride on the Skyviews Miami Observation Wheel was the highlight of my visit to Bayside Marketplace! The climate-controlled gondolas provided a much-needed break from the humidity while offering breathtaking 360-degree views of Biscayne Bay and the downtown skyline. It’s about a 15-minute experience that feels very safe and smooth. I highly recommend going just before sunset to see the city lights begin to flicker on-it’s a fantastic spot for photography and a great way to see Miami from a new perspective!”
