"Amazing Views of the Branson Strip"

June 2019

My daughter and I really enjoyed our afternoon experience riding the Branson Ferris Wheel. We didn’t have to wait to hop on and the experience lasted about 15 minutes. We felt safe and took some really great pictures.

Tip: Redeem printed voucher for entry. Located close to Andy’s For ice cream afterwards!

"The Branson Ferris Wheel"

May 2019

We had 3 adults & 4 children, ages 6 & under for the Ferris wheel ride. The ticket lady made it clear that only 6 were allowed in each gondola, almost barking it at me. Also when trying to find the ticket line, an employee gestured vaguely with her hand & we went to the nearest window which happened to be the photo pick up window. Not your typical Branson hospitality. Later, when we went to the photo window, we saw others there thinking it was the ticket window. The prepaid voucher part went smoothly. The ride itself was a pleasant experience. The moon was almost full. The small children all enjoyed it as it was very slow & peaceful. We went around twice.

Tip: Be prepared to exit while on the move. I was worried with a 2 year old in tow, but it went just fine. Get precise directions to the ticket booth & save yourself a wait at the wrong window.

"Branson Ferris Wheel"

January 2019

Recently, it was my second time riding the Branson Ferris Wheel and it is so fun it’s a family tradition! I prefer going at night time when the lights are lit up and you can see all over the Branson strip. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and they even ask if you’d like to go around the wheel for a second time or get off. As you ride the wheel a documentary over the wheels past plays which is so informative. We love the Branson Ferris Wheel and highly recommend it to families in Branson looking for a cheap activity!

Tip: Bundle up if it’s cold!

"Nice smooth ride"

October 2018

This Ferris Wheel used to be located on Chicago Navy Pier and we road it at that time with beautiful views of the lake and the Chicago skyline. Now it is located in Branson. Yes it provides a great view of the surrounding area, but the surrounding area is pretty built up so the view is not so great if you want scenery, which was what I was hoping for.
On the plus side, the Wheel moves very slowly so that people can get on and off without stopping. This provides a nice smooth ride. I imagine the line gets pretty long sometimes, but when we went there was almost no one riding, so they let us go around twice when I think it would normally have been a once around. I would recommend this ride just for the experience of riding such a large, historic Ferris Wheel. Who knows, you might spot something along the strip that peaks your interest, like the airplane across the street that looks like its about to crash or the helicopter tours next door that you can see taking off and landing.

Tip: Tickets are a little less expensive through Reserve Branson than at the gate.

"Spectacular View of Branson"

September 2018

My husband and I enjoyed the amazing view from the top. For those who are afraid of height, it was slow and easy ride. We had the big gondola for ourselves and we didn't have to share it with anyone. For the second round the staff would ask you, if we would like to go for the second round and you can remain seated else you can get down. Overall it was a pleasant ride.

Tip: It's not a closed gondola. Don't expect air conditioning.

"A Great Memory"

August 2018

My teenage daughter and I took a weekend trip to Branson before the start of school. This was definitely a highlight of our visit. You can see the landmark ferris wheel for miles and once you're on it, you can REALLY see for miles. We rode at night and the views were awesome, plus it was a little cooler in the evening. Just before we got on, they fired up the nightly laser light show, choreographed to music. We got to see it again from a distance a littler later that night as we enjoyed our frozen custard treats. Getting on & off was simple and the employees were super nice. This ride is a piece of history and should not be missed!

Tip: There is a separate line to purchase tickets for the wheel. You will have to take your voucher there and they give you paper tickets.
