Skyviews Miami Observation Wheel was developed as part of the revitalization of Bayside Marketplace to add a modern landmark and family friendly attraction to downtown Miami. Inspired by observation wheels in major global cities it was designed to offer both locals and visitors a new way to experience the city skyline.

The wheel officially opened to the public in the late 2010s quickly becoming a recognizable feature along the waterfront. Its climate controlled gondolas and central location helped establish it as a year round attraction regardless of weather.

Today Skyviews Miami continues to serve as a visual icon of the Bayside area offering gentle elevated views that reflect Miami’s blend of water culture tourism and urban energy.
