The world's largest traveling observation wheel delivers an all-American experience that's bigger, brighter and more breathtaking than any other attraction in Minnesota!
The brand-new America Wheel rises an awe-inspiring 230 feet above the North End of the fairgrounds and is the world’s largest traveling observation wheel, a full 75 feet larger than the Great Big Wheel previously at the Minnesota State Fair. Themed to celebrate America’s 250th birthday by honoring U.S. presidents and showcasing the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and our country's national parks, this epic ride features 45 gondolas and delivers jaw-dropping panoramic views stretching up to 14 miles in every direction. As daylight fades, the night sky is painted in a dazzling spectacle of light!
