Vienna Ferris Wheel

Robert_R, Sep 2023

It was not what I expected. The ride was nice but wasn’t did not meet my expectations as it was short and the views weren’t very good.

Superb

Stephen_T, Sep 2023

Excellent. Experience was second to none brilliant. Well organised and it ran very smoothly. The photos taken were well received and all the staff were extremely helpful.

Very disappointed

Richard_M, Aug 2023

The ticket did not work; no one would help us; they were very rude/abrupt. When we ask for help, we were told to go to the back of the line, which was very long.

Horrible experience

Danielle_A, Aug 2023

First I had to wait on a line for a ticket, then when I got to the counter the ticket agent had no idea what he was looking at. He stated he’s never seen this before and that I had to buy new tickets to this. My daughter wanted to go on so I did.

A wheely good ride

paulwhitten6, Jan 2023

We went up during a blizzard but it one of the iconic things to do the third man was filmed here a nice ride and a link with past

Lovely views

PhilipGraves, Dec 2022

Skip-the-line didn't work, lady in ticket ofice was a little dumbfounded by what to do with Viator ticket. Ride itself was good, we were lucky to have a lovely clear day.

Disappointed

Lisa_L, Oct 2022

Was not at all what I was expecting, very disappointed . Had to queue any way . I would not bother going to this

Ticket Scan Issue

Jeffrey_B, Oct 2022

Other than buying the ticket in advance, we still had to stand in a line to get an actual paper ticket. The scanner did not recognize your barcode.

The Fourth Man

Joseph_C, Aug 2022

A must-do experience in Vienna, and pretty much lived up to the hype. Great views and slow enough so you have time to take it in.

Absolutely wonderful experience

Daniela_M, Jul 2022

Absolutely wonderful experience, we had a great time, the view over Wien was magnificent and stunning

Worth visiting the wheel

Christopher_B, May 2022

Wheel is iconic and a must do in Vienna. Skip the line is inaccurate as you have to join the line to exchange vouchers for tickets.

Excellent

julia_k, Apr 2022

An amazing experience seeing Vienna from the top. Brings back memories of seeing the film The Third Man

Great experience

Michael_P, Apr 2022

Great experience! Has a great time going around the amusement park after the ferris wheel ride. Best to go on a sunny day!

Vienna ferris wheel.

Anthony_M, Apr 2022

The Vienna ferris wheel is a fantastic experience,and I would recommend a ride on it to anyone.It is amazing that it has withstood the test of time.

Okay but wouldn’t recommend

Geoff_S, Oct 2021

Bit out of the way and there is so much steel and carriage around you you don’t get too much of a view. The downloaded ticket did NOT let you skip any lines either.

Fabulous Vienna views.

Robert_S, Aug 2020

A lovely experience if only too quickly over. Despite covid, the staff were polite and inviting and on top of cleanliness, cleaning the cars between visitor. Would love to do it again one day. Highly recommended.

I issued tickets for 28/07... Giant wheel was closed in that day... Can't reach the customer service in order to get my money back...

Vienna

Mark A, Dec 2019

The giant Ferris wheel is a very old, very well known land mark in Vienna. The actual location is a big disappointment being in a theme park, rather a long walk from the historic city centre. Make sure you print the ticket if bought from this site as a printed copy is needed at the ride. The wait line was only about 10 to 15 mins on the day we visited. We are glad we made the effort to ride the big wheel but to be honest it’s only to say we have done it.

Wonderful view

Kevin_M, Aug 2019

My wife and I had a very nice time on the wheel ... had no idea there was an amusement park right in Vienna. We went at night to see the lights and it was beautiful. Also, found out you can have dinner in one of the cars and may do that next time we're there. Overall, it was a very nice experience.

Unique Experience

lessismore_3, Jun 2019

We enjoyed this unique, historic experience. The lights of the city at night were memorable. We did have trouble with our viator print-at-home tickets not being read by their machine but it was quickly resolved.
