Situated down Pier 57 of Downtown Seattle's central waterfront would be the Seattle Great Wheel. The wheel reaches a staggering height of 175 feet and offers the most amazing views of the city. The best times to visit would be at sunset when the sky sheds an unusual glow on the city or at night when the place is a sea of lights twinkling in the dark. If you want to really have a unique experience, try the VIP gondola which is full glass, even the floor! You'll be offered a drink as well. You are allowed to stay in a gondola for a minimum of 3 rounds. This will give you plenty of time to really etch the views into your memory and take photographs too.
