Tourist tip: Breathtaking views - even more magical at sunset . If you're feeling money, choose the VIP gondola: complete with a glass bottom, captain's chairs and a longer ride. Wheel. Of. Fortune!

Steff E.

Gorgeous view of the harbor ! Come around sunset for the most picturesque of experiences or during downtime for 3 or more rounds on the wheel.

Bridgette Randolph

Smooth ride. You get to go around 3 times for your $15 bucks. Air condition & light music but if you go at night remember the lights attract BUGS!!!

Great views and super clean and comfortable . Get your ticket at the beginning of the pier tho, then walk up to the wheel and get in line .

At the top, look out away from the harbor for a glimpse of the Washington Monument in the distance.
