Chicago, Illinois
The Centennial Wheel is an iconic Ferris wheel located at Navy Pier in Chicago. It was built to honor the 100th anniversary of the pier and the legacy of the first Ferris wheel from 1893.
Soaring to nearly 200 feet, the wheel offers 360-degree views of Chicago and Lake Michigan. Its enclosed, climate-controlled gondolas allow for operation year-round, regardless of weather.
Tickets can be purchased online or at the pier. The ride lasts approximately 12-15 minutes, providing ample time to enjoy the scenery and take photos.
The wheel features a state-of-the-art lighting system that illuminates the structure at night. It is a centerpiece of the pier's skyline and a must-do attraction for visitors.
