Skystar Wheel - Fisherman’s Wharf, Ferris wheel at Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, US
The SkyStar Wheel stands 150 feet tall at Fisherman's Wharf, providing panoramic views of San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz Island, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
The wheel was relocated from Golden Gate Park to Fisherman's Wharf in November 2023, marking a new chapter in the waterfront district's development.
This observation wheel represents the transformation of Fisherman's Wharf from a commercial fishing hub into a modern entertainment destination for visitors.
The wheel operates daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with each rotation lasting approximately 12 minutes in climate-controlled gondolas.
Forty-eight enclosed gondolas transport visitors 150 feet above the waterfront, offering the first aerial views of San Francisco's northern coastline.
