Years ago when I was in Seattle, this wheel didn't exist. So, we decided on a whim to check it out. It was pretty slow in Feb, so it was easy to get tickets at the gate and pretty much walk right on.…Full review by Rachel548

I live right up the road and love the wheel, despite its touristy tackiness. I've done VIP and it's literally one glass of champagne and a "glass floor" which is all scratched from wear. The t-shirt is ugly with bad graphics. The views from the normal carriage are much better. No need to do VIP. Granted, I only visit on "off" times so not sure if this holds true during the busiest times. But I have never had to share a carriage with another group etc. That being said, they have great views of the city and the sound, and I am happy to contribute money towards it's staff, maintenance and cleanliness.
