Myrtle Beach Sky Wheel
This epic attraction is situated at 1110 North Ocean Boulevard in downtown Conway. The Ferris wheel towers over the city, standing tall at a staggering 200 feet above the ground.

Alternatively, a nighttime ride on the wheel provides a stunning view of the magical myriad of lights that illuminate the city below.
VIP tickets allow customers to skip the line and ride in an exclusive glass-bottomed gondola, while the 30-minute Rise and Flight experience begins at dawn and allows riders to see the beautiful sunrise. The thrilling ride “the Vortex” is on offer for any daredevils out there, as is the “Sky Drop,” where riders are sent plummeting down a terrifying 200-feet vertical drop.
The Conway Scenic Railroad
Situated at 38 Norcross Circle, this railroad begins in North Conway, ends in Crawford Notch, and offers amazing views of the White Mountain National Forest.
