An all-around fun Ferris Wheel! It's especially perfect if you get to it right near sunset. You're able to go around three or four times on the wheel before you're told to hop off, so you've got plenty of opportunities to take photos too. I'd say that if you're a tourist in the area, the Ferris Wheel is fun to ride once.

Loved the audience participation. Unique magic tricks in a close up environment makes the experience more impactful because we can observe up close. Well done.

I enjoyed the detailed content of the tour, plus getting to parts I had not scene . . . The Iwo Jima memorial and the MLK and Roosevelt Memorials.
