What parents say
"What I loved about this was that it was air conditioned and you get your own little chariot with up to four people! Honestly I was expecting maybe 1-2 rounds on the wheel but we were able to go around at least 5 times! The views were beautiful and just breath taking. Great tourist attraction honestly!"

"About $44 dollars for two adults with a military discount. I would say the observatory is great for a first datenight. We went around about 4 maybe 5 times and were able to appreciate all of Miami, Bayfront Park, and Biscayne Bay. It gets chilly in there, so ladies being a light jacket. It's definitely worth the occasional visit... but the price would be much more valuable at around $10-$15 per person, at the max... but you know how Miami is (they expect money to fly out of people's ears)."

"The staff were super friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable with their welcoming attitude. At $34.45 per person, the price felt worth it for the amazing views of the city and waterfront. The ride itself rotated six times, giving plenty of time to take in the stunning scenery and snap some amazing photos. It’s a smooth, relaxing ride and a perfect way to see Miami from a whole new perspective. Highly recommend!"
