ABOUT US:

Soaring 180 feet above the Potomac River waterfront at National Harbor, The Capital Wheel is a world-class destination and iconic addition to the skyline of the nation’s capital.

The Capital Wheel is one of a growing number of iconic observation wheels worldwide that draw tourists and local visitors alike for an exhilarating ride.

The pods are climate-controlled and comfortable. The area is attractive, and can get crowded in some spots. But overall a nice place to hang out.

Nice. One timer. No great views from inside the wheel but located at a very great place though. I suggest to purchase the Groupon - it will be much cheaper than buying tickets at the counter. It is very close to MGM casino, tanger outlets, many restaurants and a lot of options. It's a great place to relax and watch a game on those big screens. Loved the night view.

We are new to the area and a coworker recommended we take the kids to this. They loved it! What a great view. There were no lines when we went and it was a long comfortable ride. Definitely worth doing. We bought our tickets online in advance, and it was very easy to navigate the website.

The ride was so much fun. The time spent is much longer than expect. I would suggest riding right as the sun disappears to the west. Perfect photo opportunity.

Was supprised of the view. The wheel is not as high as I thought it was going to be when they started talking about building it. But the view from the top is nice. Don't get your hopes up for an awesome view of downtown DC (downtown DC is still a few miles down river). It does give you a nice view of Old Town Alexandria (just across the river).
