“The eye itself was great. We had three young kids which was not fun. This should be an adult only venture. The experience in the lounge was very slow and appeared to be understaffed. If done again, would just book a regular ride and forget about the experience lounge.”

“We loved not having to stand in line and our guide, Megan, was simply fantastic! She was so knowledgeable and her personality really shined through with helping people with their photo requests. We knocked it down a star for the temperature in the cube. We went on 8/11 at 4:30 and my face was just dripping wet the whole time. The ac was blowing a little but it seemed as if it was just stirring the air currents a bit. Unbelievably warm in the cube!”
