What does Brisbane have in common with London, Dublin and Machester? Apart from being world class cities with impressive live music scenes, they're also all host to a giant ferris wheel, courtesy of
World Tourist Attractions.
The
Wheel of Brisbane, located at
South Bank, may be one of the worlds smallest wheels, at a 'mere' sixty metres tall, but it's equally impressive. Guests ride in fully enclosed, climate controlled gondolas, complete with leather seats and television, to receive a 360 degree panoramic view of the city at the top. Each ride lasts for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, or two or three complete revolutions.
This giant ferris wheel is open seven days a week and operates later on Friday and Saturday nights. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for children, $42 for a family pass and $95 for a private gondola (booking required). Purchase your ticket
online to receive a 10% discount.
The Wheel of Brisbane is fully wheelchair accessible and is a great tourist destination; because if you're going to see the city, you may as well see it in a luxurious setting.
