    About this experience

    Enjoy the Navy Pier with your Centennial Wheel tickets and take in the commanding views of the city and Lake Michigan at 200 feet. You’ll get a 360-degree view and, as each gondola is enclosed, you can ride all year round, no matter the weather. Plus, you can pick from three other rides including the Carousel, the Drop Tower, the Light Tower, the Tea Cups and the Wave Singer.

    The Navy Pier in Chicago is considered the number one tourist and leisure destination in the Midwest, and it's the longest public pier in the world.  Attracting 8.6 million visitors each year, Navy Pier is a 50-acre, lakeside wonderland that lets visitors enjoy the splendors of Lake Michigan.

    Once you’ve taken a spin on the Navy Pier wheel, you can explore the other rides along the pier, check out the museums or hit the shops and restaurants. Grab a famous Chicago hot dog or pick up a souvenir as a memento.
