Seattle has a variety of ways to enjoy its modern cityscape and one of them is the recently opened Seattle Great Wheel.

It has s a giant Ferris wheel ride situated right on the Hudson Bay! It was designed to help with the local economy but it's a treat for locals and visitors alike. With a seat in the little gondolas, you can have a spectacular view of Hudson Bay and Seattle during the day. And the sea of city lights at night! 20 minutes of flying through the skies at a comfortable speed are sure to offer numerous picture-perfect moments along the ride. Definitely a one time visit at the least with the family because this place is also kid-friendly. VIP tickets with leather seating and glass flooring of the gondolas, take the experience up a notch. Don't forget the camera to take pictures you will treasure!
