The St. Louis Wheel

"I recommend visiting at night when the wheel's bright lights create a stunning display. The city lights also contribute to the pretty view. From the enclosed pods, I was able to spot landmarks such as the Arch, Enterprise Center, and CITYPARK Stadium. The climate control inside the pods helped us stay comfortable despite the summer heat. We visited on a weekday night and had a short wait of just under 10 minutes. However, the $20 price tag for a 15-minute ride felt a bit steep. Supposedly, if no one else is in line while you're on the wheel, the staff will kindly extend your time."

"The wheel has Gondolas as opposed to pods, so it feels a little more exciting. The views from the top were spectacular. We had a beautiful clear day so we could see for miles. The ride lasts about 15 minutes and you get to go around a couple of times. It goes a bit fast than the pod style wheels I’ve been in before."

"Nice one time experience. $17 for adults and $12 for kids (over 3 years). Tickets can be bought online or at the wheel (in cash). The wheel goes so slow, beautiful views from the top. It was boring after the first round :)"

"What an incredible little adventure! This is the nicest Ferris wheel I have been on. It was completely enclosed and comfortably fit 4 adults and 2 children. We had heat, and there was also music playing in the gondola. Pricey? Sure but you’d expect that everywhere these days. I really loved it!"

"So much fun! We went right away in the morning and had no problem and no wait. It cost 19.00 per person for a 30-minute ride. I would try doing it at night next time, as the lights on the ferris wheel and town would have been amazing. We were lucky to see the workers using the ferris lights for a gender reveal, which was so unique and special!"
