As we mentioned in part 1 of our story on America Dream, there is much to see and do in this massive retail and entertainment complex. While we weren’t able to fit everything in, the kids were thrilled to return to experience the Dream Wheel by Skyviews.

We arrived early on a Saturday at 11am and made our way to the third floor, and immediately found the Dream Wheel. Located right by the Coca-Cola Eats Food Court on Level 3, we checked in and were guided into our enclosed gondola. The Dream Wheel structure offers 27 gondolas that can house up to 16 people and includes a bench and a TV to view different perspectives/views of the Dream Wheel.

The kids were amazed by how spacious the gondola was. They each include a bench and a railing, where guests can sit or stand during the experience. We loved having that option, navigating between both positions as the gondola offered stunning views all around us.

The Dream Wheel moves at a very gentle pace that took us around on one single rotation. As we inched to the top, we enjoyed breathtaking views of NYC’s skyline and the surrounding area such as MetLife Stadium, the Meadowlands, Hackensack River, and even a glimpse of the wave pool at DreamWorks Water Park.

They also have a comfy VIP experience for groups of six. This includes front of the line boarding, a discount on retail items, and BYOB.

Before or after your visit, be sure to check out Deep Fried Love for some carnival-themed treats. This includes fried Oreos, fried Snickers, funnel cakes, corn dogs, cotton candy, and more.

The entire loop of the Dream Wheel is 30 minutes. We left amazed by everything we saw, and so excited to visit again soon.
