The Valley's first permanent outdoor Ferris wheel is now offering panoramic views of some of the region's most recognizable landmarks.

The Boardwalk Big Wheel opened Monday at Arizona Boardwalk as part of the entertainment destination’s 10th anniversary celebration.

Standing 80 feet tall, the new attraction features 18 fully enclosed, climate-controlled gondolas, each holding up to six people. Riders get 360-degree views of the McDowell, Black, Mummy, Four Peaks and Camelback mountains.

The experience also includes onboard music and LED lights that illuminate the wheel at night.

💵 How much does the Boardwalk Big Wheel cost?

You can buy individual rides, all-day passes or tickets that bundle the Ferris wheel with other Arizona Boardwalk attractions.

🎟️ Here’s a breakdown:

Single ride: $9 for the first rider and $6 for each additional guest in the same gondola
All-Day Pass: $20 for unlimited rides that day
Combo ticket: Includes two rides on the Ferris wheel and offers up to 40% savings when bundled with other attractions
Annual passholder upgrade: OdySea Aquarium and Butterfly Wonderland annual passholders can pay $20 for unlimited rides for one year
