Review & FAQ:

Dating back to 1936, the Balboa Fun Zone Ferris wheel has been a prominent day and night landmark on the Newport Harbor scene. Whether patrons are searching for a fun date to the beach, a special night out on the town, or perhaps a picturesque ride high above the skyline, the Balboa Peninsula of Newport Beach is a wonderful destination choice.

Ferries are available to carry passengers to surrounding islands and a historic pier still stands in the sight of Glen Martin’s historic first water-to-water flight from Balboa to Catalina Island in 1912.
