After years of development and construction, The Orlando Eye, Madame Tussauds and Sea Life Aquarium are now open for guests to enjoy at I-Drive 360 on International Drive.

Standing at 400-feet high, or nearly 100-feet taller than the Statue of Liberty, The Orlando Eye is the tallest observation wheel on the U.S. East Coast. Similar to London’s world-famous landmark, the Eye provides guests with the opportunity to ride up within fully enclosed, air-conditioned glass capsules. The journey allows visitors to take in a unique perspective of the area including nearby theme parks and attractions, the downtown Orlando skyline, lakes and landscape, and, if the day is clear, possibly Cape Canaveral on Florida’s East Coast.

The Orlando Eye also allows visitors to choose their own unique experiences such as champagne flights and private capsules. The attraction also offers a 4D cinematic experience showcasing a 3D aerial journey of Central Florida with added effects including wind, water and lighting.
