The Ferris wheel on Navy Pier in Chicago, with enclosed gondolas rising nearly 200 feet.

Why go

The Centennial Wheel is the Ferris wheel on Navy Pier at 600 East Grand Avenue in Chicago. Navy Pier's page for the wheel, read on 3 October 2026, says it rises to nearly 200 feet with enclosed gondolas and offers 360-degree views of Chicago and Lake Michigan, with a VIP gondola that has a glass bottom; Navy Pier's home page ties the wheel to the pier's centennial in 2016. Rides are booked through Navy Pier. The page did not state hours, so check before you go.
