Full description

The Capital Wheel is located just minutes from downtown Washington DC, at the National Harbor. Relax inside a fully enclosed, climate-controlled gondola with family and friends as you soar 180-feet above the Potomac River. With each gradual rotation, experience a bird’s eye view of the Washington Monument, Capitol Rotunda, Masonic Temple of Alexandria, and much more. Every spin offers a unique way to take in the sights. Admire a breathtaking sunset or capture a photo in front of the dancing light show that illuminates The Capital Wheel every evening. The National Harbor is the perfect one-stop destination offering great restaurants, shops, hotels, and outdoor fun.

Nice opportunity to get the grandkids out for an afternoon-- park right on the water front, kick off with a ferris wheel ride, walk to great lunch at Rosa Mexicano, then another short walk over to Gaylord to see the 19 story Atrium and walk around. The only disappointment of the afternoon was you now need a room key to ride up the elevator....which (unless you are a bit creative and lucky enough to come across someone staying at the hotel and going up the elevator) can create a challenge to take the kids up to the top floor for a fun view of the whole atrium!
