The Orlando Eye

We rode the Orlando Eye (ferris wheel) about 30 minutes before closing. The staff was friendly even though it was late. It had a great view. We could even see the Epcot’s geodesic sphere in the distance. I appreciated that they had the N,S,E,W in the car so you knew which direction you were looking. They also had Bluetooth so you could connect music from your phone. They also had a bar available before you got into your car.

I got lucky & caught the sunset. It was so peaceful sitting above the city & watching the busy lights below while sipping some prosecco. So pretty to see everything lit up. There's a smal bar right before you board your car, photographers to take pictures of your adventure, & the staff is polite & professional. It's such a great experience- a definite must for anyone that wants to see the City Beautiful from above!

Gimmeky and not worth the money. You might want to do it for the view but gets boring after couple of minutes. Beware of the stuffs that wants to sell you the pictures. They will try their 100% to sell you the pictures. Those are expensive. $42.96 for couple of pictures.

Do NOT spend your money on this. It seems cool looking at it. However, you see 3 lakes, tons of resorts/hotels and industrial parks. Maybe a map to see what your looking for in the 'car' and binoculars would make this more attractive but I would not recommend this.

The Orlando Eye was a good experience overall, but not something I’d call amazing. The ride was smooth and offered nice views of the city, especially from the top, but the scenery itself is fairly limited compared to other observation wheels. It’s enjoyable and relaxing, just not particularly memorable. That said, the area around it is lively with restaurants, shops, and attractions, which makes it a pleasant stop if you’re already nearby. Worth doing once if you have extra time, but not a highlight of the trip.

Tried the Ferris wheel 🎡 — overall, it was just okay. Pretty average, to be honest. Big plus for the organization 👍 Everything looked clean, well-maintained, and felt safe ✅. But the view from the top… honestly, there wasn’t much to look at 👀. Also, there was a slight urine smell in the cabin 😬 — not the most pleasant surprise. It’s a one-time experience for me. Been there, done that 👌.

Decent views of the city and most of central Florida, but it won’t leave you breathless. You can see most theme parks except for Disney. I’d recommend bring some binoculars. You can also hook your phone up to the speakers in your cabin via Bluetooth and play your own music which is cool. I’d highly recommend you go during the day. I’ve been both day and night and you can’t see anything at night. But, it’s only about a 20 minute ride around the eye and it’s $40 per person after taxes. Kinda hard to recommend this to be honest. It’s a cool experience I’d pay $20 bucks for, but it’s hard to justify at its current cost.

Visiting The Orlando Eye was such a wonderful experience! The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking — you can see the whole city, theme parks, and beautiful sunsets. The cabins are clean, spacious, and air-conditioned, which makes the ride comfortable and relaxing. The staff was friendly and organized, and the line moved quickly — we didn’t have to wait long to get in. The ride itself lasts around 20 minutes, giving enough time to enjoy the sights and take amazing photos. We went during sunset, and the colors in the sky were stunning — it made the experience even more special. It’s a great place to visit with family or friends, and it feels peaceful compared to the busy parks around. Highly recommend visiting The Orlando Eye if you’re in Orlando! It’s a perfect spot for unforgettable views and beautiful pictures. 🎡🌅✨
