The Minnesota State Fair features a Sky Ride and a Ferris wheel, offering visitors aerial views of the fairgrounds. The Sky Ride, a gondola lift system, transports fairgoers across the expansive grounds, providing a unique perspective on the event's scale and activities. The Ferris wheel, a classic amusement park attraction, has been a staple at fairs and carnivals for generations, symbolizing the celebratory atmosphere of such gatherings. Both attractions contribute to the fair's enduring appeal as a major annual event in Minnesota.

Illuminated Ferris wheel at Bay Beach Amusement Park in Green Bay, Wisconsin, at night with fog nearby.
Bay Beach Amusement Park sits along the shore of Green Bay in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and has operated since 1892, making it one of the oldest amusement parks in the country. The City of Green Bay's Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department runs the park, which charges no general admission — visitors instead buy tickets for individual rides, a model the park has used for more than a century. Its ferris wheel is one of more than 30 rides on the grounds, most added during expansions in the 1990s and 2000s. The park sits adjacent to Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary, a separate city-run nature preserve along the same shoreline.

Bay Beach Amusement Park sits along the shoreline of Green Bay on Green Bay, Wisconsin's east side, at the mouth of the Fox River. The city has operated the park since 1892, and it remains one of the few municipally run amusement parks in the country, offering free admission with tickets sold per ride. The park's pavilion building, dating to the 1940s, hosts community gatherings and overlooks the water's edge. Its Ferris wheel is one of more than two dozen rides on the grounds, which draw upward of a million visitors each year.
