Times Square is currently home to a Ferris wheel

Times Square in New York City is temporarily home to a new tourist attraction: a 110-foot Ferris wheel.

From Aug. 25 to Sept. 12, visitors can buy tickets to ride this new attraction. It’s on a stretch of Broadway in Times Square, just below the famous Coca-Cola billboard where the ball drops on New Year’s Eve. Rides start at noon and go through midnight, rain or shine.

For starters, tickets are expensive. For about three loops and 10 minutes, you’ll pay $20 for general admission tickets, $35 for “skip the line” tickets and $15 for kids 5 to 10-years-old (children under 5 are not permitted to ride). If you purchase your tickets online ahead of time, you’ll also be charged a service fee. You can buy tickets once you arrive, but the ticket booth specified cash only.

Proof of vaccination was not required (which made

sense considering it was an outdoors attraction), and mask-wearing was hit or miss.

Keep in mind the buildings in Times Square are so tall, you might really don’t get any unique or especially breathtaking views. You can get comparable (or sometimes even better) views without the actual Ferris wheel structure blocking you from some of the stores and restaurants in Times Square.
