Each gondola is designed for safety and comfort, making this the perfect family-friendly adventure or romantic outing.

Each Wednesday and Saturday night, witness the sky illuminated with vibrant colors right from your seat on the wheel. It’s an unforgettable way to round out your adventure and create lasting memories on the pier.

A Must-Do Experience at Navy Pier

The Centennial Wheel stands as a testament to Chicago’s cultural energy and architectural beauty. Take photos, share laughs, and soak up the unique atmosphere that only Navy Pier can offer. Pair your ride with the pier’s food, shops or other attractions to make the most of your day by the lake.
