Rising above the sparkling coastline of Panama
City Beach, Florida, the PCB Wheel stands as one
of the area’s most iconic attractions. This towering observation wheel invites guests to experience
stunning 360-degree views of the Gulf of Mexico
and the surrounding beachscape.
The PCB Wheel offers a comfortable and scenic experience designed for visitors of all ages.
Each ride lasts approximately 10–15 minutes and
includes four full revolutions, giving riders ample
time to soak in the breathtaking panorama. The
gondolas are fully climate-controlled, providing a
cool and relaxing environment even during Florida’s
warmest days. Whether guests are snapping photos of the sunset or simply enjoying the serene view
from above, the PCB Wheel offers a truly unforgettable perspective of Panama City Beach.
Accessibility is a key focus of the attraction. All
standard gondolas are wheelchair-accessible and

ensuring that everyone can share in the experience. For those seeking an upgraded option, the
VIP gondola features luxury leather seating, priority boarding, and a souvenir photo—perfect for
couples, celebrations, or anyone wanting an extra
touch of comfort and exclusivity.
The fun doesn’t stop at the top. At the base of
the wheel, guests can expand their adventure with
several exciting attractions. Combo packages are
available that include the 18-hole mini-golf course
and the ropes course, offering hours of additional
entertainment. The mini-golf course features imaginative obstacles, bridges, and boulders surrounded by
lush landscaping, while the ropes course challenges
balance and agility, providing an exciting, hands-on
experience for thrill-seekers and families alike.
The PCB Wheel operates year-round, with closures
