- EOEric Olson2 days ago5.0It was closed due to thunderstorms. Unfortunately, we had to do a pub crawl until it opened... The sun showed up and the pictures were awesome. Don't forget to bluetooth your favorite music over the speakers.
- RERita Etherington3 days ago5.0Well worth the ride. Amazing views on a clear day. Spacious, not much seating area, nice and slow around. It doesn’t stop so you have to be able to step on and off when it’s moving.
- DLDiana Marie LunaMay 12, 20265.0Beautiful experience and one of the best views in Orlando. The ride was smooth, relaxing, and gave amazing panoramic views of the city. A perfect attraction to enjoy at ICON Park.
- TPTammie PearcyMay 7, 20261.0The eye was not crowded but school was still in early May. My problem was I wanted to ride when it was dark but they clos3d at 8p that day and it was still plenty light so we did not Go chose something else on our gocity pass
- ZZZanderApr 29, 20261.0SeaLife was enjoyable, but the Orlando Eye was a complete letdown. After purchasing tickets Monday, we were told onsite it was closed for maintenance. I specifically reconfirmed that it would be open on Wednesday, as we were leaving the next morning, and was assured there would be no issue. We rearranged our plans, left our beach trip early through heavy traffic (3 hours), and arrived Wednesday evening only to find it closed again for a private event. We were traveling with a newborn and from Canada, which made this especially frustrating. While a refund was eventually issued, no confirmation or receipt was provided due to their machines being down. Very poor communication and no respect for guests’ time. Would not recommend.
