Maybe we’re biased, but we think everyone in the world deserves an amazing experience like this. We’re talking about a ride in the Giant Gondola Wheel at Michigan’s Adventure. We would say this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but while you’re at our park, you can ride the big wheel as much as you’d like.
Grab a bunch of friends and family and hop into one of the 20 shaded gondolas. Then relax and enjoy the view as you’re elevated on the 90’ diameter wheel. From the top of your perch you’ll be able to see for miles. A series of 360-degree rotations allows you see the park – and perhaps life – from a whole new perspective
What’s more, the Giant Gondola Wheel delivers a completely different experience at night, as it is illuminated by thousands of sparkling lights.
Height requirement: 48” minimum or accompanied by a supervising companion. No hand-held infants. No single riders.
