What visitors say
A truly fun experience! Cruise ship pulled into town and we just started walking. Decided to jump on and what a treat. Stellar views from atop the wheel. A nice spacious cabin and a good long ride. A great way to see the city and from a great location. Next to the water and close to downtown. A reasonable price and nice friendly staff. Definitely worth a ride and enjoy!

It was such a pleasant and enjoyable ride. The gondolas are totally enclosed, which was especially nice given how windy it was. There is an audio guide, just a bit quiet, but theres plenty to see through the clear windows. Really enjoyed it!

The Wheel of Liverpool is a transportable Ferris wheel installation on the Keel Wharf waterfront of the River Mersey in Liverpool. The wheel is near to M&S Bank Arena Liverpool, and was originally opened on 25 March 2010. It was dismantled for refurbishment in the Netherlands in November 2020 and rebuilt in Spring 2021. The structure is 196 feet (60 m) tall, weighing 365 tonnes and has 42 fully enclosed capsules attached. The wheel had been planned for three years by the company Great City Attractions. They submitted a planning application which explained that it would increase tourism in Liverpool. A smaller observation wheel had been operational in the city, which was located at the Liverpool One leisure complex. This was dismantled because of the plans to open the Wheel of Liverpool. Construction was completed on 11 February 2010 at a cost of £6 million.

We chose the wheel with our bus tour, and it was pleasant. On a Sunday, in July, it was not busy at all, we were in line for 5 min. Since it was not crowded, we did 5 spins before it stopped. The view is wonderful, as expected, a lot of buildings are visible, even on a clouded day. It’s not a thrill ride, it’s a panoramic view, so even the faint hearted can safely do this.
