A Ferris Wheel Ride 175 Feet Above Elliott Bay
Glide in an enclosed cabin after a long waterfront lunch, with the city skyline and mountains beyond.
🎡 Lunch Then the Skyline
Start with a long lunch on the waterfront, then leave the afternoon open for The Seattle Great Wheel. It stands on Pier 57 at Miners Landing, surrounded by dining and waterfront attractions. Plan the meal as its own slow pause, with the ride as a change of perspective rather than another stop to rush through.
Enclosed cabins lift riders 175 feet above Elliott Bay, opening a panorama of the Seattle skyline and surrounding mountains. The wheel uses climate controlled gondolas, bringing that broad outlook into a sheltered cabin. Settle into the view and give the horizon your attention.
At 1301 Alaskan Way, the wheel opens daily from 11 AM to 9 PM. Its structure carries more than 500,000 LED lights, programmed for weekend light shows and custom displays. Keep lunch and the ride together for a waterfront afternoon, with time left to linger around the pier.
