About SkyStar Wheel Fisherman’s Wharf

SkyStar Wheel Fisherman's Wharf is San Francisco's only observation wheel, a 150-foot tall ride towering above Pier 39 that carries visitors in 36 climate-controlled gondolas, each holding up to 6 guests, with one VIP gondola seating 5. A single ride lasts 9 to 12 minutes and completes 3 or 4 rotations, offering 360-degree views of Alcatraz Island, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the San Francisco skyline from the bay to downtown and the Pacific Ocean. The wheel features 1 million colored lights and rotates through approximately 12.3 miles in a 10-hour operating day. The attraction suits families, couples on dates, and groups planning birthdays, corporate events, or field trips. San Francisco area residents receive $5 off admission, as verified on skystarwheel.com.
