I was really disappointed with this ride. It was a weekday so no people there except us. No line no wait time. I saw some people coming, taking pictures and leave. Still i was hopeful to try it out. The amount of time you are up that's reasonable but I didn't find it to be amazing. No amazing view whatsoever. Its just some water n buildings that's it. When I was in myrtle Beach ⛱️ I took a similar wheel ride n the views were mesmerizing. I know its not a beach here but still. What really pissed me off that after the ride I saw an advertisement on board that says there is a package of $35 for 2 people and you get a digital photo too. But i paid $40 for the ride and $5 for parking and I wasn't even notified about this. They should've told me about this if there is something available like it.

Run do not walk! When approaching from the highway and once in the harbor the first thing you'll notice is the phenomenal lighting, be it a really nice color scheme or some cute hearts in the center - it's dope!
The Capital Wheel is such a great experience for children and adults of all age. The views of the Potomac, monuments, National Harbor and surrounding areas are spectacular for both locals and visitors. If you're looking for an even more unique experience - book the VIP, the glass bottom view & leather seats are a huge wow factor. All cars of the wheel are sure to provide a great experience however.
There's also a really cute bar located behind the wheel which I believe you can enjoy without riding the wheel. It sits right on the water and has cute little bonfires to keep you warm in the winter.

Fun experience! Staff were friendly and it was a smooth ride. There were beautiful views and barley any people so the wait was nothing! 5/5 recommend.

Hello! Our day at the Capital Wheel was awesome, and we really enjoyed the Flight Deck. We had the pleasure of being served by Precious, and we absolutely loved her! She made amazing drinks, provided great conversation, and answered all of our questions. Her friendly personality and excellent service made our experience even better. We will definitely be back to see her this summer. Thank you for making our visit so memorable!

Nice experience! Very smooth ride, pleasant staff, and a fun picture! We went in early afternoon, so there was no wait. The cars are cooled and the seats are comfortable, nice padding. Our operator was funny and informative! I would imagine riding at night would be incredible!
