For those wheeler, dealer types

One of the centerpieces of the Maryland’s National Harbor development is The Capital Wheel. Located just 10 miles from the National Mall in Washington, D.C., the ride is part of a 350-acre mixed-use development along the Potomac River that includes shops, restaurants, hotels and residences.

“The Capital Wheel is a new, unique way to see a very historic part of our country,” says Melissa Norris, the attraction’s sales and marketing manager. “After a long day of touring museums and monuments, visiting The Capital Wheel and seeing the sights and lights from our fully enclosed, climate-controlled gondolas is the perfect way to reflect, relax and take in great views.”

Tour operators receive exclusive rates for The Capital Wheel and carousel, including generous comps. Norris says tickets aren’t dated or timed, which gives groups more flexibility to explore many of the other attractions in the National Harbor area.
