Review:
The Seattle Great Wheel is Seattle’s iconic Ferris wheel located on the waterfront on Pier 57. The 175-foot-tall observation wheel has 42 enclosed gondolas. As the Ferris wheel turns, gondolas reach 40 feet past the end of the pier for a thrilling experience. Though gondolas seat eight passengers, visitors can pay extra for a VIP private gondola. Another cool thing about The Seattle Great Wheel is its storybook, The Great Wheel Adventure. Parents can buy the 36-page book with colorful illustrations, and kids can follow the characters on an adventure to numerous Seattle attractions from the Space Needle to the Aquarium.
