They give a good three cycles for your money and you get nice views. You also don’t have to ride with other families. We went on one of the hottest days and it was warm but not horrible in there. It did have a faint smell of throw up.

This was a slow moving ride that lasted about 20 mins, made 3 full rounds and offered fabulous views of the waterfront. It was just my husband and I but they still gave us our own car. A bit pricey but definitely worth it!

Great 20 min tourist thing to do. Great for kids and families. Only way you are getting a better view of the city is by chopper.

While visiting the Old Port) it's hard to miss the towering Ferris wheel, La Grande Rou de Montreal. The view can never be better, enjoy the thrilling view of Old Montréal, the city center, and the St. Lawrence River on the highest Ferris wheel in Canada, La Grande Roue de Montréal. 42 climate-controlled cabins gently lift riders nearly 200 feet and go through three revolutions on this 20-minute ride. I know, I know, only 3 rides, but I guess 15 mins is good enough. There are 2 types of cabins- 1-Cabins that seat up to eight, 2-Gondola- A spacious VIP cabin, which is equipped with a glass floor and Italian leather seating for four riders. There are also lots of food trucks if you're craving poutine, cotton candy, ice cream, or other small bites.

It is part of Old Port and Promenade at St Lawrence river and you cannot miss it. When we visit the area it was a crowd there so we decided not to wait for a ride. But I can imagine it could be nice to see the city from it's top.

This was a nice, slow ride. For the base price, you go around three times. It seems that their practice is to let groups have a gondola to themselves, which was a bonus. My daughter and I went, and though it could seat maybe eight (?), they let us ride with just us two. Perhaps that was because the line was very short during the week, closer to sunset. The views were great! My only fuss is the windows were smudged, so sometimes it was hard to get the camera to focus. Nevertheless, many pictures did come out good.

The views were amazing despite the poor weather. Excellent value for money for a ride of about 20 minutes or so. Very friendly staff. The cabin was very big and sits 8 persons comfortably.

This is a ferris wheel. I know a ton of citites have ferris wheels now. But this one has a spectacular view. It really was not that expensive for the two of us- there was no line, it is climate controlled, the windows are clearly cleaned thoroughly every day as they were so incredibly clean and clear it made for spectacular photos. We went around three times for our ticket. We thought about going again at night to get sunset photos but ended up doing a different excursion instead. Beautiful.

Great way to get a different perspective on the city and the river front. Trip includes 3 circuits so don’t panic if you think it is moving fast. Air conditioned pods are a bonus Well worth the trip

A beautiful way to get a sense of the city and the old port. The cabins are heated/cooled so it’s a comfortable experience at any time of year.

Ok let’s keep it real - it’s a Ferris wheel…..you get on, it goes around, you see the city. You know exactly what you are getting - it isn’t new and the view (while interesting) isn’t like the London Eye. That said - it’s a must do. When touring Old Town it’s a popular stop….the line moved along at a snails pace and we discovered it was because each group (today at least) had their own capsule to themselves. Makes it slow when a single person takes an entire capsule and the group of 5 has to wait. (But hey, was nice to be alone vs in a group of strangers). Air conditioned - nice seats, each capsule holds 8 and it was clean. Suggest getting the Montreal Passport - gives you admission to this and other attractions (saves $$).

La Grande Roue de Montréal, an iconic attraction open 365 days a year. Canada's tallest observation wheel, standing at 60 meters tall, offers 18-minute rotations, providing you with breathtaking 360-degree views of Montreal Love the location being in the old port area giving great views of the river

We went on the Ronde in April after a freak snow storm so it was not busy at all. You get great views and we had a 6 seater cabin to ourselves (just 2 of us). There is a lot of stuff around here for kids to day, although it was all closed (and snow covered) when we were there. There was a nice cafe that was open. Cost is $25/person but you get 3 rides around, about 20 minutes. I’ve seen complaints here that it is on 2 rotations so maybe they shorten it up in the summer.

It was built in order to celebrate the 375th anniversary of Montreal. Canada’s tallest observation wheel, situated right off the St. Lawrence River. Nearby you can see the Clock Tower and there are quite a few nice restaurants.

The views were amazing from up there, with the fall foliage around the area and the river. It wasn't crowded when we got there. It took about 45 minutes or 3 circles per ride.
