The Navy Pier Ferris wheel in Pier Park was modeled after the first Ferris wheel built for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. It is the jewel of Navy Pier with its thousands of lights sparkling over the waters of Lake Michigan. Almost 300 people can ride the Navy Pier Ferris Wheel at a time, with up to six people in each of its 40 passenger gondolas. chicago art
