The Branson Ferris Wheel was formerly Chicago's iconic Navy Pier Ferris Wheel, ridden by nearly 17 million people from 1995 to 2015. The Branson Ferris Wheel stands 150 feet tall, its 40 gondolas hold 240 riders, and it lights up the night with 16,000 LED lights. Combine your Branson Ferris Wheel experience with Holidays on Ice, a seasonal ice skating rink located right below the wheel.
