    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!

    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.

    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!!!

    Buy discounted tickets via Living Social or grab a $5 off coupon from the Tanger Outlets coupon book.

    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.

    You get a discount if you're attending a conference at one of the convention centers.

    Military discount for tickets. AC in the cabs and you go around usually 3 full rotations

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

    Not quite the London Eye but still a fun Ferris wheel ride nonetheless.

    Схема работы колеса непонятна. То быстро крутится, то медленно. То останавливается ... Вход 45 💸
