The Orlando Eye - Orlando (FL)

4 /5 Tester Der “Wertzeit”: Conclusion first: Beautiful views, calm experience – but not exactly a rollercoaster of emotions. The Orlando Eye is like a peaceful Detect Landscape spell – steady, scenic, and mildly enchanting. The city stretches beneath you, the cabins are comfy, and for 21 quiet minutes, you float above it all like a contemplative cleric. But thrilling? Not quite. It’s more meditative than magical. And for the steep price, one might expect at least a shimmer of spectacle or a bard narrating your ascent. Still, 4/5 – lovely, but more Zone of Tranquility than Heart-racing Adventure. And buy tickets before online. It’s much cheaper.

5 /5 Pamela Rogers: This was awesome! Icon Park is so much fun and the Orlando Eye is the heart of it. The views of the city were amazing. Loved the skybar at the bottom before you got on and the fact that you can play your own music via Bluetooth in the pod. My family and I enjoyed this.

5 /5 Tim Payne: Our ride on The Wheel at ICON Park was one of the highlights of our Orlando trip. It’s a relaxing, beautiful, and surprisingly serene way to see the city from a whole new perspective. If you’re looking for something a little different from the usual theme park rush, this is a perfect change of pace. From the moment we arrived at ICON Park, we were impressed. The area is clean, modern, and has a great energy. There are lots of restaurants, shops, and attractions all around, so it’s easy to make a full afternoon or evening out of your visit. Parking was free and easy to find, and everything was clearly marked. The boarding process for The Wheel was efficient and smooth. The staff was very friendly and helpful, answering questions and ensuring everyone felt comfortable and safe. The capsules are fully enclosed, climate-controlled, and spacious — much larger than we expected — with enough room to move around and take in views from every angle. It didn’t feel crowded at all, and the air conditioning was a welcome break from the Florida heat. As the ride began, we were instantly captivated by the view. The ascent is slow and steady, giving you time to take it all in. By the time we reached the top, we could see for miles in every direction — from the downtown Orlando skyline to the theme parks in the distance, and even as far as the horizon. If you time your ride for sunset or twilight, you’re in for a truly breathtaking experience as the city lights start to twinkle and the sky glows with color. What we appreciated most was the calm, almost meditative feeling of the ride. There’s no rushing, no jostling — just a peaceful 20-minute journey above the city. It’s perfect for families, couples, or even solo travelers. We saw young kids excited to point out landmarks, couples taking in the romantic view, and others just enjoying the quiet moment away from the busy tourist spots. After the ride, we explored the rest of ICON Park, which added to the experience. There are fun bars, dessert spots, sit-down restaurants, and quick eats — something for everyone. It’s a great place to spend a few hours without feeling overwhelmed. In all, The Wheel at ICON Park offers a unique and memorable view of Orlando, wrapped in a relaxing and enjoyable experience. It’s perfect for first-time visitors, locals looking for a fun night out, or anyone wanting to see the city in a different light. We’re so glad we did it, and we’d absolutely do it again

5 /5 Nea Bacolod: The Orlando Eye offers not just a stunning view of the city, but a full-on experience that’s perfect for a sunny day out. The weather was beautiful during our visit, which made walking around the area even more enjoyable. Surrounding the Eye are plenty of charming kiosks—everything from quick bites and refreshing drinks to handmade jewelry, fun candies, and unique souvenirs. It feels like a mini marketplace bustling with energy and color. There are also a ton of restaurants nearby, offering a wide range of options to satisfy any craving, whether you’re in the mood for casual bites or a sit-down meal. The whole area is lively yet relaxing, making it a great spot to stroll, shop, eat, and of course, take in the views from the top of the Eye. A must-visit if you’re in Orlando!

5 /5 Stephanie Tharpe: Do it! Thats all I can say. Views are phenomenal. Grab a glass of champagne at the bar and enjoy it. Its smooth, goes very slow, no swaying. It was wonderful.
