On a nice day, this is a great way to see practically the entire Southern California coastline from high above. Great fun, especially if you're playing host to out-of-town guests, or if you are one!

Solar panels you see mounted around the park help power the Pacific Wheel and its evening light show. The current Wheel was installed in 2008, but the 1996 original was the world's first solar wheel.

Seen on many Hollywood movies ,The Pacific Wheel is a 9story Ferris Wheel that's more than 100ft. above the ocean at its highest point.Not the biggest on planet but pretty cool considering its location
