The Centennial Wheel was constructed in 2016 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Navy Pier, where it is located.
Standing at 196 feet, the Centennial Wheel offers breathtaking views of Chicago's skyline and Lake Michigan.
Unlike traditional Ferris wheels, the Centennial Wheel has enclosed, climate-controlled gondolas, ensuring comfort in any weather.
Thanks to its enclosed gondolas, the Centennial Wheel remains open throughout the year, offering a unique winter experience.
The wheel can accommodate up to 180 passengers at a time, with each gondola holding up to eight people.
The wheel is equipped with state-of-the-art safety systems, including emergency brakes and backup power generators.
For a premium experience, visitors can opt for the VIP gondola, which features plush seating and a glass-bottom floor.
