What parents say
"I think it is a bit pricey (about $22 with fees and taxes) but it was a fun thing to do. Good view of the city, the aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, Olympic Park, etc. We found meter parking around there too. Public restrooms and snacks on site. The whole thing lasted 10 minutes."

"We had a fantastic experience at SkyView Atlanta with our family, including our little kids! The views from the top were absolutely breathtaking, and the ride felt smooth and safe. My kids had a wonderful time and were so excited throughout the ride. The only minor downsides were the ticket prices, which are a bit on the expensive side, and the wait time, which was longer than expected. However, the overall experience was well worth it! The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was great. If you’re visiting Atlanta, this is definitely a must-do, especially for families looking to create spec"

"I had the opportunity to ride on SkyView Atlanta several years ago with my parents. We were treated to fantastic views of Centennial Olympic Park as well of other downtown Atlanta landmarks during the Christmas Season. Fast forward to the present, I got to see it again and it looks to still be a popular tourist attraction with the addition of a sky bar which allows you to bring alcoholic drinks on board while riding the enclosed Ferris wheel. Overall, a great place to go for families, couples and dates on a night out. Tickets can be purchased on site."
