About

At a height of 200 feet, the St. Louis Wheel will provide panoramic, 360-degree views of the St. Louis skyline. Soar above the historic Union Station train shed, admire the city’s gorgeous architecture, and even catch a glimpse of the Gateway Arch and other iconic downtown attractions. While St. Louis temperatures can change quickly, our 42 fully-enclosed, climate-controlled gondolas will provide the perfect setting for your 15-minute experience.
