a week agoSuch a great experience. My husband got us the VIP package and it included two photos and two alcoholic beverages with such cute cups. The views from the wheel were incredible. Very spacious and comfortable and we even were able to listen to our own music during our ride. Worth the visit

a week agoI had a great experience! $23 per adult admission was well worth it. The ride lasted at 10 minutes, and the view from the top was absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend it!

2 weeks agoThis was an actually a great experience but the kids you have working there are the worst! Once you got off the wheel we went to purchase pictures and the kid at the register literally stared at me like I was speaking a foreign language! Then the girl who actually spoke didn’t speak up all or explain prices or anything! Like come on, seriously get kids who talk and not just stare at customers! They seemed they had no idea what was going on.

2 months agoGreat experience. We caught it right at golden hour and we had a blast. It rocked a bit when stopping and starting but I think it was all part of the fun. Great views over the new waterfront and the puget sound. Try to catch it at sunset if you can. I did not like, however, that they tack on a hidden $2 fee for 'admission', felt very sneaky, and that they didn't fill the whole wheel when there was a line. It was only partially filled while we waited, probably to create more of a line and a buzz.

2 months agoThis attraction on the Seattle Pier 57 along Alaskan Way is fun, fun, fun! We chose to visit the Wheel on a weeknight to see the night lights of the city and we were not disappointed. Stunning views of both the city and the areas around the city's many piers; just wonderful. It's a bit pricey at $23 per person (12 years or older); your ride considered of three, clockwise revolutions at about one-half RPM. The gondolas seat six adults and are pretty much floor-to-ceiling glass, so you will get views at any angle at every location on the wheel. We've been to Seattle many times, but this is a must-do for visitors and residents alike! Recommended!
