Fun 🤩
The price difference between the base tickets and Gold Class is marginal, but with Gold Class, you get a private cabin for your group, and a complimentary soda/juice.
I strongly recommend anyone to go for Gold Class.
The view from the top was awesome, with a perfect postcard view of New York City skyline.
The whole Gold Class experience was well worth the ticket price, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Spent $70 for my 3 kids to go up in the wheel and they told me I have to get up out of a chair in the waiting area and wouldn't let me sit in a chair while I wait 30 minutes for my kids to finish. They told me I have to stand while holding bags for 4 people. There is one guy sitting here and I have to stand here watching one guy sit and 12 empty chairs. I will never come back to this nonsense. Not to mention I am handicapped. Two thumbs down! 👎👎
We watched the sunset and chilled. A great experience for family and friends. The wheel constantly moves. There’s even a TV inside with a remote to choose your favorite tunes to vibe to while looking at the views of NYC and Bergen County. It’s about $100 for a family of 4. There was a bench in our climate controlled gondola 🚠. So we were comfy during the whole ride.
For 17 bucks, you get and gentle ride up and around. You will have a view of all the DMV (DC, Maryland, and Virginia). It’s fun to watch the world from a different view. Drive or take the bus to the National Harbor. No metro stop.
The Chicago Navy Pier is an absolute gem and a must-visit for any tourist!

Well, not a lot to say but it's great to go on. We went, the folks were super nice and when we went up it was an awesome view.
The ride lasted quite awhile and it was nice being left up so we could take pics.

Amazing views absolutely loved it. Has a beautiful atmosphere and view. There is so much great things in Chicago and this was my absolute favorite. I’m a nature and scenic person so this really made me smile.
If it helps I hear the parking at this place is heaped then other places in Chicago. Just giving out the tips I received. Take it or leave it ✨☺️💁
Have fun if you head there and the wheel is super cool there too for better views of the whole city.

Fun spot but touristy. You get a good view of the city, especially on the Ferris wheel but it's pricey. There is often live music and always something to do. A good way to spend an afternoon with the family, I think you should go at least once but it's not really how you get to know the city. Definitely gets crowded at peak hours.
Navy Pier is iconic to Chicago and a must see but what you choose to do is really what makes the experience. Navy is really built for all types of visitors and has rotating exhibits and experiences and then the classic wheel, games, and Children’s Museum and Shakespeare Theatre.
There are multiple options for boat tours and cruises, walks, kayaks, and yachts, etc from near the pier so best advice is to do your research. Just showing up is nice if you want to walk and spend more money than you intended to 😏
Fireworks skyline cruise is fun, it’s a unique close up experience to a small, intimate fireworks show off the pier.
In my opinion the Navy Pier experience is for the masses and tourists, peak times there are lots of people and it’s a bit unnerving. The food selection on the pier is catered to well the masses. Thus for me it’s a 4/5.

The view is spectacular. We went on a weekday morning right after it opened. The weather was spectacular. It's pretty easy to get on and off if you use a walker (but please note that the walker doesn't go on the ride)
Very nice and chill pier to take a walk or chill around. And there's a very warm court with a lot of options of foods. The restroom is also very clean, the other side is for cars parking and drop-off so I would recommend to walk around. Just go straight and come back straight would be a nicer solution.
I haven't been on a ferris wheel in awhile, but this experience was amazing! The ladies near the front and all the ones we talked to were nice! The wait time was short which was great. The view was very pretty and was very awesome to look at from above. You could even see the other ferris wheel near the back if you're not facing the water.
Beautiful place for pictures and much more. The capital wheel was close for being super windy that day I went, but overall all it was a good place to take pictures with the family. You can find parking a few block away, like 5 minute walk. About 5 dollars for 1.5 hours, we stayed to eat so we paid about $15 for 2 hours. There are a lot of stores and restaurants.
Our views were breathtaking! We were on the first ride of the day and rode for about 20 minutes. The prices change depending on the day you go and there are deals - so do your research!
I love going to national harbor. This is a must when visiting the dmv. There are many dining places, perfect for evening walks or of course taking a fun ride on the wheel. It gets more busy during the summer and weekends but it’s worth the wait. I never get tired of it, best time for views is at sunset!!
Took a friend to the Sky wheel because he had never been to Myrtle Beach. He was here for work and only had a small window of opportunity to see something. The Sky Wheel was perfect. Great view of the coastline and surrounding area. The wheel went around about 4 or 5 times, making sure if you didn't get the picture or video you wanted the first time around, you still had time to get that pic/video perfect.
4 and half stars because of the price. Overall, great experience

Great experience! The inside of each sphere is very big and spacious. We went when it wasn't too busy so we got to ride with only a few people. There was plenty of space to walk around and look at the entire Las Vegas. It goes pretty high so the view is amazing!
This was fun. Good music. Everyone on board sang happy birthday to me. Signature cocktails were delicious. Great view of the Vegas strip. Definitely do it at night.
This ferris wheel is huge! And each little pod holds 4 people, is air conditioned, and has some amazing views. It's $20 per person and you get to go around 5 times. It's worth checking out if you're vacationing and would love to see the ocean-city views from almost 150 feet tall!
Beautiful Pier. There is plenty of place for all age groups. Couples, solo, family, kids. Romantic gateway. Enjoy sandy shallow beach to soak in and swim. Excellent for a leisure walk and troll or trail or jog or walk! Enjoy jiant wheel. Enjoy several shoreline boat cruise options throughout the day and evening. Enjoy several restaurant options and theater or the Children's Museum. Lots of fun and activities for everyone. Several spots for unlimited photography! Just come, chill, relax, and enjoy!
Great place for a date night. I recommend going just in time for the sunset, that way you can experience both the day and nighttime view. So be sure to check the expected sunset time before your visit. They always have promotions, we paid a little over $40 for two tickets, a digital download of the photo we had taken, and four hard copies, of which one was framed in a very cute fall theme frame.
Really cute place to go! Lots to eat nearby and some beautiful places to shop. I'd recommend the app park spot for parking, $20 ramps near by. They're are usually some ships in the harbor too which are beautiful to see and take a tour of. Always something to see!
Very nice experience however price a bit steep. We bought tickets at self-service machines and didn't had to wait in queue. You pass all the snacks and drinks section that you can get with you on the wheel. Very nice evening views with the lights and Bellagio fountain. Also you can see the Globe. Definitely worth visit. You get enough time to see everything.
Great experience, line wasn't too long either considering we went on the weekend. The wheels go all the way around about 5 times which is a really good amount of time. I know some just go round once and that's it. Really good, highly recommend. Also, love how they don't just shove everyone in one box, you go family by family. So if there are just 2 of you, you have your own space. Must visit!
Title: Regrettably Missed, Yet Highly Recommended: The High Roller in Las Vegas
During my recent visit to Las Vegas, regrettably, I couldn't find the time to experience the High Roller, but I have no doubt that it's a top-notch attraction that deserves a spot on your itinerary. Despite not being able to ride it myself, I wholeheartedly recommend it to others based on its reputation and the glowing reviews I've encountered.
The High Roller, located at The LINQ Promenade, is renowned as the world's tallest observation wheel. Its towering presence on the Las Vegas Strip is an iconic sight in itself. From what I've heard and seen, it offers a spectacular vantage point to take in the dazzling lights and vibrant energy of the city.
What truly sets the High Roller apart is the experience it offers. The spacious cabins, with large windows, provide breathtaking 360-degree views of the Las Vegas skyline. I've heard that the ride is particularly enchanting at sunset or in the evening when the city comes alive with a mesmerizing display of lights.
Moreover, I've read about the option to enhance your experience with various packages, including the Happy Half Hour, which includes an open bar inside the cabin. This adds an extra layer of fun and excitement to the ride.
While I may have missed out on this opportunity, I'm confident that others will find the High Roller in Las Vegas to be a memorable and exhilarating experience. If you're planning a trip to the city of lights and entertainment, make sure to add this attraction to your list. I'm certain you won't regret it, and I'll be recommending it to anyone seeking a unique perspective on the heart of Las Vegas.

The Great Wheel was super nice. It's not that tall (I'm from Chicago). We went around about 3 or 4 times. Much of the downtown area was under construction during my visit. But I was still able to get some nice pics!
We didn't expect the water, it was warm because we from New york and New york beaches the water is always cold. I will go back soon. Free beaches, just find a good spot to park your car. Hotel not to good you want nice hotel drive 10 to 20 minutes from there.
Amazing place for amazing fotos, definitely a place that you must visit if you are in Chicago. Do not miss this great chance to take great photos. Also a place full of history. Just take a look to my photos!
I saw they also have really nice restaurants and good boat tours.

Using our Go City passes, we rode the Ferris wheel (the air conditioning was epic in the unseasonable heat), and each got 3 tickets for other rides on site. We chose the launching ride twice, and the swings once. There is also a carousel, and tea cups. Tons of boats were docked at the pier loading for tours and shuttling, so we used our passes again, and took an informative architectural tour at sunset. It was lovely! Everything was clean, and the workers were kind and fun. It was a great experience for both the kids and adults.
The Seattle Great Wheel was a pretty cool attraction to do while visiting the city! The views are great as you go around for three or four loops around the wheel which was pretty good! I recommend stopping by if you’re walking around the pier!
Great experience with some of the greatest views of Las Vegas you will ever see. I recommend going after the sun has set because the strip looks beautiful. There’s a bar that sells snacks and both alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks that you can bring in your pod. There’s plenty of space to walk around to see different parts of the strip throughout the ride. It takes about thirty minutes from start to finish on this ride.
nice 20 mins ride - safe for all age groups. You may carry food and drinks. Take skyline pictures. You may book for VIP personal gandola too for little extra.
Great spot for pictures, yummy food, and touristy activities. We were a little disappointed when we saw that almost everything at the pier closes at 9pm when Google has their hours ending at 10 pm. Should have done more research. Other than that, we enjoyed our visit! (Buy your tickets for the ferris wheel ahead of time!)
Navy pier is a nice place to walk and see the beautiful skyline of Chicago. There are also places along the pier to buy snacks or beverages. You can drink alcohol your purchase there up and down the pier as well as being able to bring it on one of the shoreline sight seeing tours. I was there without kids so I didn’t check out much of the amenities for families there. This was more to catch our boat and to see the skyline lit up at night.
The high roller was one of our favourite attractions in Vegas. Amazing views of the strip and surrounding areas. We went for the happy half hour. Bar service was brilliant, 4 drinks in 30 mins, could have had more too. Very well priced. It was also quiet and air conditioned in the middle of the day. Would recommend.
The Seattle Great Ferris Wheel exceeded all of our expectations! The stunning panoramic views of the city, Elliott Bay, and the surrounding mountains were absolutely breathtaking. The ride was smooth and felt completely safe, which allowed us to fully soak in the beauty around us. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend taking a spin on the Ferris wheel in Seattle. It's an unforgettable experience!
If you’re considering whether or not you should spend the $20 to ride this - the answer is DO IT! We were debating on it and finally decided to ride it on our last night in town. We bought our tickets the last hour it was running and there was a bit of a line - but it moved fast. We were able to go around 8-10 times and each time it got more and more beautiful. The view of the coastline is unforgettable.
The high roller is a great way to experience the strip without too much hassle. Parking across the street near the Linq is $20 and then a short walk across the street. The entrance is on the west side of the wheel. There are some double doors, escalator, passage lines and an elevator to get you to the base. Make sure you bring your digital ticket as they will scan it. The wheel never stops moving and is slow enough for you to enter comfortable. Some screens and digital tour guides about the wheel and strip while riding is a nice touch. Altimeter is cool as well. Awesome views and some edge seating. There are options for wet bar rides as well. After the ride some stairs and a gift shop for any souvenirs. Great deal $20 for kids $36 for anytime. You can save more going during the day.
This was our first time this far North West and I must say it did not disappoint! The weather was just right, the city was not overly congested, the views were amazing. I will say I was expecting it to be busy and hard to navigate. I would definitely pick a Sunday vs a Saturday to attend as the parking garage was a nightmare to get in and out of.
Kid friendly with elevators to get to the top and bottom floors. Highly recommend!!!!

We went there to see the scenery. We ended up on one of the Speed Boats which was a lot of fun. I enjoyed walking around, they even had a Lobster Fest. I wanted to get on the Ferris Wheel, but the line was at least an hour wait if not more, so maybe next trip.
I most definitely will go back. I suggest you give it a Try if in Chicago.

The Great Wheel is always a great time! The line from the "Line Starts Here" sign only took about 20 minutes on a Saturdaynight, maybe an extra ten for the drink stop at the bar. Yes, alcoholic drinks can be purchased and taken on if you have no minors. We went at sunset, and the views were gorgeous.
Also, did you know you can use the wheel for a gender reveal? It will light up pink or blue at a specific time. Amazing!

Really cool, air conditioned gondolas. I took my son on this and we had a blast before the football game! The ride is pretty much about 20 to 30 minutes and the 300 feet up is pretty significant compared to what one is used to on a Ferris wheel. The staff cleans each one as it descends down which is nice. They also say if you have a group of 6 or less you may be paired with other people. We got one all to ourselves which was nice. They have ViP ones with tables and chairs which I guess given the right circumstances could be interesting. You see NYC skyline, MetLife Stadium as well.
This was a great time, we started as strangers and ended up as good friends. The ride even though a tourist thing to do was filled with locals. The tour guide we got was speaking very fast, and most of the facts we missed but the scenery and buildings were great. This was a great time. The skyline is something to see .. Enjoy !!!
A fantastic experience! Each gondola is air conditioned and offers great views of the water. The ride was long enough to both enjoy and take photos.
This was my First time on a Farris wheel so was excited to ride. We got there around 6p and had maybe a 5-10min wait. Tickets were about $20 per person. Our gondola was very clean. The ride was pretty smooth, kids could even enjoy it. We stopped on the first two resolutions, I guess to let people in/off and then we went around none stop for another 4!or 5 times. Next time I’ll go at night when it’s lit up. Great views of the beach.
The dream wheel had an awesome view. I will say it didn’t last that long, barely 20 minutes and only one full loop. It was also expensive, so I feel like it wasn’t that worth it. Depends on what you like and what your budget is, but overall overpriced and overhyped.
The longest attraction in Las Vegas 30 minutes long. And the view of the city is awesome. I have Road the Ferris wheel in the daytime, and at night. In my personal opinion, the night time is the best. A couple things that they do not tell you the first one is it cost more to ride the Ferris wheel at night? They also have a pod with a full bar that cost extra that you can ride in . And All the pod holds about 15 to 25 people believe it or not. On a busy day they will pack you in like sardines. If you are a Caesars Rewards, member, you can’t get a voucher printed out at the any Caesars casino for a half off ticket. And the most important thing they do not tell you how RUDE their employees are.
We went one a lucky mostly cloudless day and it was very cool sight of the city. Lines were pretty reasonable for a summer weekend and barely waited at all for either attraction. Maybe a bit pricey with a lot of people but just a couple its totally worth it.
How fun! I can’t think of a better way to spend such a lovely afternoon. The kids loved it. Friendly staff, booming atmosphere, and sky high vibes. What a great day. Can’t wait to come back!
ممتع صراحة
Such a good stop! We went a good time, the line wasn’t bad at all, We got our own little pod thing haha and it was very nice. Very romantic and beautiful views. I definitely recommend stopping here, totally worth it. The people working here were nice, and it was very straight forward and easy to get your tickets and get in line. They do offer you pictures, they’ll stop you in a room and take two photos and after you are done they ask if you want to purchase photos or not. I wish they would invest more into the quality of the photos, they the photos turned out poorly and I would have purchased but didn’t because they cut off half my head with a green screen effect. But that’s okay, we got beautiful pictures up top! Very comfortable inside these little pods, they have it cracked open for fresh air, I do recommend bringing a water bottle up with you just to stay hydrated (especially if you are bad with the heat like I am!)
We rode the wheel during the winter time and I bought tickets in advance so we could have more flexibility in when we rode. We had a very short wait and the ride was actually longer than expected. I also thought I'd be colder, but I was pretty comfortable in the pod. You get a great view of the harbor and since we were there during holidays, we also got some nice views of different events. Fun activity to do if you're bidding the harbor, but not sure it's worth experiencing more than once.
Great view! No wait really -maybe 10mins, so glad I didn’t get the fast pass -but I’m sure the wait depends on the season/holidays, etc. purchased tickets there with no problem. Kinda pricey for family of 4, but all things are on vacation. Gondolas had air conditioning which was great! Really enjoyed.
This experience was nice and peaceful.
They allow you to ride 10-15mn.
Be careful when entering the pod (I hit my head upon entrance 🥴)
Beautiful views.
Great photo op!

Stunning views at sunset! The price was affordable at $17 per adult ($13 or so per child). The line was long but seemed to move quickly enough. The ride is 10-15 minutes in duration. The capsules are roomy and air conditioned, which I loved! And, there's music playing to add to the experience. 10/10 would recommend. Oh, and yes, if you're carrying around souvenirs, shopping bags, and/or leftovers from a restaurant, you can bring them into your capsule.
Closures scare me, death traps are far too dangerous
I remember getting stuck at the tippity top of the ferris wheel 7 years ago. Took us 20 minutes to get down.
Un lugar muy bonito
The capital wheel at the national harbor is a focal point that draws in visitors from all over. The cars are temperature controlled and the seating is comfortable. The views however, make this attraction worth the ride and it is a fun experience for people of all ages. The attraction also has an accessibility ramp making it inclusive for those who cannot use stairs. If you're visiting the national harbor, I highly recommend making a stop at the capital wheel.
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Dream Wheel at the American Dream, and I must say, it was a fantastic and romantic experience. I highly recommend opting for the Gold class as it offers a more luxurious and intimate setting.
Upon arriving at the Dream Wheel, my girlfriend and I were delighted to find that we had our own private cabin complete with a table and chairs. This allowed us to relax and enjoy the ride in comfort while taking in the breathtaking views. The cabin also came with a complimentary drink for each of us, which added to the overall enjoyable atmosphere.
I opted to prepay for our tickets, and I was pleased to discover that it was a bit cheaper than the walk-up price. This allowed us to save a little money while still enjoying the full experience. However, do keep in mind that the main wait we experienced was for the cabin we specifically paid for. Therefore, I recommend arriving at the gate area approximately 30-35 minutes before sunset to ensure you secure your preferred cabin. If you notice a long queue outside, it's best to enter even earlier to avoid any potential disappointment.
The Dream Wheel itself was truly mesmerizing. As we ascended, the panoramic views of the surrounding area unfolded before our eyes. The ever-changing colors of the sky during sunset created a romantic ambiance that made the experience even more special. We were able to see the cityscape and the landscape in all its glory, making it a truly memorable ride.
Overall, I highly recommend the Dream Wheel at the American Dream, particularly the Gold class. The private cabin, coupled with the complimentary drinks, provided an intimate and comfortable setting. Just make sure to plan ahead and arrive in advance to secure the best possible cabin and time for the most romantic views. It's an experience that I'm sure you and your partner will cherish.

Kyle and I enjoyed it. I wish we could have caught the sunset... maybe next time. Still pretty cool views.
Located at the National Harbor in Maryland. This place has a lot of bars and restaurants that definitely seem enjoyable. Unfortunately, I did not when in to eat anything because I ate before arriving. I did got on the Capital Wheel definitely would have enjoy more the view during the day and evening. However, no matter what time of the day you go the atmosphere will be enjoyable. Ticket cost $18.70 and they only take card, no cash.
Came on April 1 2023 at ~5pm. General admission price was $32 per ticket. There was virtually no line. The overall experience takes about 30 minutes.
This area of New Jersey is not exactly the most scenic - a lot of highways, industrial sites, and marshlands. It was still cool to see, and the Manhattan skyline is in the distance. I think coming at sunset would be cool!

A very beautiful place full of attractions
Best view of downtown Seattle and waterfront from the Big Wheel..
Beautiful views at night. Nice family activity. Goes really slow so it's nice for a relaxed ride but the adventure thriller in me wishes that it went faster and moved more. A little stuffy inside because it is enclosed but overall, the kids enjoyed.
My family and I took a road trip from Texas to Chicago. We had to include a trip to Navy Pier. I haven't been there in about 15 years. So much had changed. Had a wide variety of restaurants and shops and the view across the lake was spectacular. Parking was high, but it is everywhere in Chicago. My five year old had a great time, and that's all that matters.
If you are a fan, use it. Space needle will give you better view.
Don’t go on the fees wheel when it is hot. It is like an oven in those cars.
If you are afraid of heights, don't do it.
We had a blast
TOOO EXPENSIVE I PAY $60 for 35 tickets. So that make it almost $2 per ticket, then almost each ride is 3 tickets which it make it like $6 per child per ride. I recommend you to buy the day pass for each of your kid and that will be better.
Kids loved it
Ferris wheel is very nice but overpriced. Charges per person (not gondola), so one ride cost me $25 with two kids. Way too expensive. There's a locals discount, but still VERY steep.
Too long wait, and too short time to ride. But in general is ok.
The Ferris Wheel wa nice. I enjoyed with my granddaughter ( she is 3 yrs old)
Not maintained well and employees lack training. Safety is big concern.
It wasnt open because it was raining, but it was beautiful to look at
