This was really cool, great view. Expensive though, and the photos they offer after the ride, ouch! Found it odd that they printed and framed them before knowing if people even want to buy them, we sure didn't.

Night time is amazing!! Book your tickets early as they sell out!! Also definitely get the photo package after your ride!! So much fun!

I enjoyed the ride on the wheel. There was no line at 2:30p on a Tuesday. We boarded and went around four times. The wheel goes around fairly quickly, and it was over in about 10-15 minutes. You could get a similar view from the deyoung museum tower.

Loved the ride! :-) it was fantastic to get up above Golden Gate Park and look down! :-) it went around for a full 4 revolutions. The pictures they take as you enter the ride turn into pretty nice photos at the end! If you happen to be in the Golden Gate Park area we recommend this ride! :-)

Reservations necessary? How many reservations does one need and are they a necessity?

Carolyn Passmore | Nov 23, 2021
David Brindle | Nov 23, 2021

Preferred but not necessary. I have never made reservations at all and with the family pass you don't need to worry about not having enough time or it's to late to go.

Yes, go to their website and under their FAQ section you can find a form to fill out. But I still don't recommend the ride.

Is there only one line how do the time slots work

David Rodrigues | Aug 20, 2021
P.S. Lee | Aug 20, 2021

One line to scan in ticket, then line up to take photos, then 4 lines to get on the wheel.

How long is the ride?

Patricia Port | Aug 20, 2021
Brent Michael Gannetta | Aug 20, 2021

Its 4 rotations. One rotation goes all the way around, then it pauses to let people on and off, rotating around and stopping, waiting, rotating. The views are wonderful!
