The Capital Wheel - Ferris wheel in Oxon Hill - 141 American Way, USA

Beautiful place for pictures and much more. The capital wheel was close for being super windy that day I went, but overall all it was a good place to take pictures with the family. You can find parking a few block away, like 5 minute walk. About 5 dollars for 1.5 hours, we stayed to eat so we paid about $15 for 2 hours. There are a lot of stores and restaurants.

Great place for a date night. I recommend going just in time for the sunset, that way you can experience both the day and nighttime view. So be sure to check the expected sunset time before your visit. They always have promotions, we paid a little over $40 for two tickets, a digital download of the photo we had taken, and four hard copies, of which one was framed in a very cute fall theme frame.

For 17 bucks, you get and gentle ride up and around. You will have a view of all the DMV (DC, Maryland, and Virginia). It’s fun to watch the world from a different view. Drive or take the bus to the National Harbor. No metro stop.

We rode the wheel during the winter time and I bought tickets in advance so we could have more flexibility in when we rode. We had a very short wait and the ride was actually longer than expected. I also thought I'd be colder, but I was pretty comfortable in the pod. You get a great view of the harbor and since we were there during holidays, we also got some nice views of different events. Fun activity to do if you're bidding the harbor, but not sure it's worth experiencing more than once.

I love going to national harbor. This is a must when visiting the dmv. There are many dining places, perfect for evening walks or of course taking a fun ride on the wheel. It gets more busy during the summer and weekends but it’s worth the wait. I never get tired of it, best time for views is at sunset!!

Stunning views at sunset! The price was affordable at $17 per adult ($13 or so per child). The line was long but seemed to move quickly enough. The ride is 10-15 minutes in duration. The capsules are roomy and air conditioned, which I loved! And, there's music playing to add to the experience. 10/10 would recommend. Oh, and yes, if you're carrying around souvenirs, shopping bags, and/or leftovers from a restaurant, you can bring them into your capsule.

This experience was nice and peaceful. They allow you to ride 10-15mn. Be careful when entering the pod (I hit my head upon entrance 🥴) Beautiful views. Great photo op!

How fun! I can’t think of a better way to spend such a lovely afternoon. The kids loved it. Friendly staff, booming atmosphere, and sky high vibes. What a great day. Can’t wait to come back!
