The New View Is Worth The Wait

Under Construction

After years of providing spectacular views, our beloved Giant Wheel is now closed to begin a major revitalization of the area.

We are excited to announce that a brand new, next-generation Wheel will be opening in Summer 2026!

We look forward to welcoming you back for an unforgettable experience in 2026 as our new Wheel brings increased height, enhanced comfort, and a refreshed lighting design.

Get a sneak peek of the new Wheel below!

I love bringing my kids to Irvine Spectrum Center for their birthday every year to enjoy food and the Kids Birthday Club Giant Wheel and Carousel rides! It’s been a memorable tradition – in fact, we just visited to celebrate my daughter’s fourth birthday! :)
