The Orlando Eye

Sep 20, 2019: The wheel at the ICON park lit up at night.

Orlando's massive Ferris wheel gives you bird's-eye views of the theme parks and the surrounding area. Greater Orlando is pretty flat, so visibility on clear days extends up to 50 miles as far as Cape Canaveral. iPads in the high-tech capsules help you locate all of the major landmarks. Check ahead as it sometimes closes for private events.

Combination tickets are available with Madame Tussauds and Sea Life.
