The Orlando Eye is a 400 foot tall Ferris wheel structure which has glass observation gondolas instead of carriages. Located on International Drive, Orlando, in the heart of the largest tourist corridor in the United States, the Eye stands high above everything around it. From the top one can view the City of Orlando, citrus groves, and the Space Coast along with the Atlantic Ocean (on a clear day).
Tickets start at just $20.00 per person but there are several options that bundle it with other attractions such as Orlando Sea Life, Madame Tussaud's Museum, and LegoLand.
Tickets can be purchased at the gate or online at the website. Handicapped accessible and security friendly, the Orlando Eye is a great experience beyond the theme parks. Due to it's structure and design, bad weather is a well-monitored concern but notices are given and tickets are honored at later dates. Take a ride and the kids will love you for it. Welcome to Orlando, Florida!
