Great experience

Lovely view from the top. But those lines, whew! Doing it at night also made it seem more fun, seeing the skyline in the dark, etc. would recommend

Great experience!

It was so nice to just get right in line with tickets in hand. The ride had beautiful views and it went around more than once so you really get to take in the experience. Definitely recommend.

Fun experience! Must go back to explore even more.

Ride was comfortable, views were spectacular! A little pricey at almost $50 for the two of us but it is a once in a lifetime experience, right? Shops and food at Navy Pier were also very good, We should have allowed more time to explore. We were there for only two hours but we should have planned for at least four hours or more.

Centennial Wheel views are great.

Great views of the area from the Centennial Wheel. Plenty of places to eat (not much shopping). Just a nice spot to slow down a moment and spend a little time on the pier.

Fabulous Night!!!

I am so glad I purchased my tickets thru Viator. If I had waited to buy them at the venue we would have not made it on. The line was about 1 1/2 hours but because I bought them through Viator we were able to access a special line without a wait. That was such a relief. We had a great time at Navy Pier. Wednesday nights they light fireworks and so we were able to enjoy the show. Good place to visit a variety of food choices. Ice Cream on a summer evening, what more can you want.

Overpriced - Mundane experience

Overpriced mundane experience. 3 rotation without any thrill. Ridiculous pricing for 10 minute elevator like experience
