To visit this place best time is night time. The giant wheeler can be spot in a distance when it lighted at night. They close at 9 pm. Parking is free at the ground. It is great place to have the OKC sign that show you have been to Oklahoma City. The wheel does not many people at the spring time because the weather still cold for wheel goer. The store I front of the wheel serve ice cream and food. The seating areas are very nice. It has the swing seat. read more

Nothing like a good old fashioned Ferris wheeler ride! Such a great day brilliant sunshine, clear blue skies , and light winds!! I was there with my wife, daughter & 2 grandsons. With my wife and oldest grandson being totally afraid of going in the ride. Amazingly enough they thoroughly enjoyed the experience!! Took some excellent photos of the family and downtown OKC! Highly recommend doing this with the family! read more

This park was so cool/- so peaceful- there is so much to do here from getting on the Ferris wheel to laying on the Hamic's under the tree! You can play games with the family from corn hole to football and soccer- everything was nice!! Even the bathrooms were very clean two read more

The Ferris wheel is pretty cool. This is probably the coolest thing at Wheeler park. The views are cool. You can sit at least 4 people in a bucket, so this is fun to do with another person or a couple extra people. I think going on the Ferris wheel is worth doing at least once. Try to go during a good time for views like sunset. This is a decent spot for part of a date. This is worth checking out at least once. read more

Great date spot, staff is very nice view is next to none, me and my girlfriend enjoyed it.

We all had a blast and absolutely loved this place!! Wanted to wait until night for two reasons.... 1) no sun 2) the lights Definitely a must while your in OKC for sure!! They have drinks and snacks at great prices along with the ride passes too! You can reserve this private area if you wanted to have a party with a DJ, hammocks between all the trees, seating everywhere including the grass and it is right by the water! Great place to take pictures even if you do not want to ride the ferris wheel! Parking is free which is nice and they have bathrooms!

I can not get enough of this place! It is a wonderful place for a date, family time, a group get together, photographs and so much more! You do not even need to ride the Ferris Wheel to hang out. But, the ticket prices are very reasonable. Sometimes there is food trucks. Tonight they had Just Desserts, and it looked delicious From time to time there is activities going on. The staff is great! They are always helpful and welcoming. There are activities to do like throwing a football around, playing bocce, playing table tennis, corn hole, relaxing in hammocks and so much more. The photographs you can take while you are there are guaranteed to look amazing. I highly recommend checking this out! read more

I came here on a Friday night and had fun! Enjoyed beers on The Big Friendly, a beer bus that was parked close to the ferris wheel, and then went for a ride on the Wheeler Ferris Wheel. I like how the area is a big open space and there are tables and hammocks nearby to rest on. The place is kid-friendly and adult-friendly as well. It's prom season, so a lot of high-schoolers were here that Friday night getting prom pics by the wheel, which was cool. There's a roofed area with a ping pong table and more tables to eat at. There's a wall with a mural on it to take pics by. The river is right next to the wheel, so you get a view of the river down below and the Oklahoma skyline ahead. The OKC sculpture is fun to climb and take pictures on, you get the ferris wheel in the background for your pics. I think I even saw a couple getting their engagement pics here that night. This is the perfect place to go on a date for drinks before/after dinner, and to hang out with friends on Summer nights. It closes at 10 pm, so after an early dinner would be good too if you want to see the wheel light up at night!) I think sunset was the best time to go and the weather was perfect. Prices: One-time pass Single- $6 All-day pass Single- $10 Season Pass- $20 (great deal if you plan to go a lot this Spring + Summer!) read more

This is a hidden gem if you live in OKC! Free parking and free to just hang out.

Wheeler Ferris Wheel - The Ferris Wheel - Parks Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

The first time I went to the Wheeler District in Oklahoma City I knew I had stepped into one of my new favorite hangouts in the city. The old Santa Monica Pier Ferris Wheel made its debut in Oklahoma City a few summers ago and since then I have loved going there with my friends and family. The tall structure is colorful and lined with twinkly lights. To my surprise I walked right up to the gate, boarded the ferris wheel and started my adventure to the top. My family rode to the top with me and it was such an incredible experience, I purchased another ticket the same night so I could ride the ferris wheel once again. The Wheeler District has a perfect view of the skyline of Oklahoma City. It is right on the river, which makes the ride on the Wheeler Ferris Wheel breezy even in the summer heat. The ferris wheel is great for a date night, celebration or even just a night on the town. The Wheeler District sells T-Shirts and other merchandise on the property to remember your experience for years to come! The Wheeler District hosts multiple food trucks a week. This is a great way to grab some dinner or dessert and take a joyful ride to the top of the giant ferris wheel. They have also have hammocks around the ferris wheel so you can hangout for hours. Food trucks like The Big Friendly and Sno' Smore are regulars at The Wheeler District. They provide beverages and snowcones to customers. Grab your tickets and head to The Wheeler District TODAY before it closes for the Winter in a little over a month! read more

Don't go if you're a 'single' rider. I was walking along the river on a Tuesday night at sunset and decided to stop and take a ride. I was turned away because I didn't have another rider with me even though it was a week night with many empty baskets. I wallowed around in one of their hammocks for awhile and had a lovely evening nevertheless. I'll go back when I'm accompanied. It's been explained to me that it's a rule by the manufacturer and the state has to enforce it. read more

This is a cool area. There is a pavilion where people can set up for food. I actually came for the Indian Festival. There was plenty of seating, Sno-Cones on site in a food trailer and a place to buy tickets. There's plenty of sidewalks intermixed with green space. I didn't like the gravel parking lot. Overall, it has a lot of potential read more

My 7 year old son and I had a great time at the Wheeler Ferris Wheel and accompanying park on a Saturday morning. We were there for a birthday party. There is a covered area with 4 or so picnic tables and a ping pong table. It was nice to have such a large shaded area. I think you have to reserve the tables for parties, but I am not sure about that. The party was early (9 AM) so we were the only ones at the park in the beginning. However, by 10 more people had arrived and by 11 it was humming. Tip if you do have a party of some kind at the Ferris Wheel: booze is not permitted. We had brought supplies for some early beermosas and were told politely that alcohol was not permitted. There is plenty to do at the park in addition to the ferris wheel. There are several games for kids, a bunch of hammocks for chilling, and the famous OKC sign for all of your picture taking needs. There is a small snack bar with bottled drinks and a couple of things to eat. The prices seemed a little high, but not outrageous considering you are at a cool park and not a grocery store. If you want a large meal I would bring food, there's not a ton available. There are also restrooms, although we did not go in them so I cannot opine on the cleanliness. The ferris wheel is the main attraction, and for good reason. It goes pretty high and you can get a great view of the city in all directions. The entire ride takes between 6 and 7 minutes. It also does not move fast. We had several kids ride it, ages 1-7 years. None of them had issues with the height and all enjoyed it. The compartments are decently comfortable and can seat several people. They are also sturdy, we never felt unsafe throughout many rides. The pricing is $6 per a single ride ticket, $10 for a day pass, and $20 for a season pass. When my son first rode it, he was a little scared so I did not know if he would want to ride again. So, I only bought the single ride ticket. Of course he loved it and we probably went on it 5 more times. So, after that first ride when it was confirmed he liked it, I went back to the window and asked if I could have the day pass, with the price of my single ticket subtracted. The answer is yes, that was their policy. Clearly I am not the only one who had this issue. Great customer service. The employees were friendly and I saw them on more than one occasion cleaning various areas of the park. Glad they are maintaining it properly. We will definitely be back, I will want to check out the view at night. This is a great start to what I've read is going to be a significant revitalization of the Wheeler District. OKC needs more places like this, recommended. read more

The Ferris wheel was smaller than I thought but still nice and great that we could take our whole family on it (two littles, 3 y/o and 7 Mo old). The area could use a few updates on the games and such they had out. I thought it was a nice add until we realized they were all in bad shape. The hammocks were nice and taking a pic with the OKC sign and Ferris wheel in background was nice. read more

Wheeler Ferris Wheel - Top of the K! Like top of the Rock in my world :) - Parks Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

A great place for families, dates, or just hanging out. We saw the Ferris Wheel off of the 40 freeway a few times and kept saying we would go. My 4 year old son kept pushing for us to go and we finally did. The park it self has an old board walk feel to it. They have all of these classic board games, ball and other cool toys to play with. The Ferris Wheel is fun and gives you great views of the city. The only thing that I found disappointing was that there is no good food. The food that was being sold there wasn't tasty at all and they need some good food. read more

Not much out there so make sure you have plans for after your short ferris wheel ride.

This place is located right next to the river. It is a nice place to have a picnic and hang with the family. There's balls to kick around, hammocks to lounge in, picnic tables to eat on. There's restrooms, a little snack bar that sells snacks and souvenirs. The Ferris Wheel is huge and for 6 dollars you get to stay on it for a good amount of time. That was the longest Ferris wheel ride I've ever been on. Other then that there's really not much to do other than ride the Ferris wheel and enjoy the outdoors. I know they have food trucks that service this place every now and then, I just wish it was a regular thing. I think it would add more to the area if it was. Not to mention, that big OKC sign that makes for awesome pictures is located here too. I'd recommend this place for a nice picnic or for pictures!! read more

I actually can't comment on the Farris wheel itself because I didn't ride it, however the overall atmosphere was wonderful. My husband and I went on a bike ride Saturday and stopped by this wheeler district on our way back to the boat house. It was such a lovely day outside, and the Ferris wheel looked absolutely beautiful accompanying the Oklahoma city skyline. All the facilities were so nice and clean, and I loved all the activities that they offered. They had a large lawn with lawn games available for families. They also had a little pavilion with picnic tables and a ping-pong table. Plenty of seating for anybody who would like to sit outside, along with concession stand drinks, snacks, and some really cool T-shirts. One thing I would note, is that I don't believe they have any fans in the pavilion and when we sat in there; it seemed to almost be hotter since there wasn't any breeze. My husband and I would love to come back in the evening to see the Ferris wheel lit up on a nice evening. I think it is a great little addition to our city, and I will bring any out of town guests by to spend the evening there! read more

the ferris wheel operators, trina and beckett were so kind! they really made the experience more enjoyable!

As someone who actually rode this things YEARS ago when in was on the SM Pier, I can attest that the views may not be as good but the service is top notch. I love everything that they do here. Fun events for literally everyone. Yoga, pop up shopping, food trucks, sadly no more beer trucks (my husband was sad about that. they also have games all over, 2 bocce courts, and hammocks. Cant wait for them to open up again in the spring. read more

We visited on a rare, gorgeous-weather Friday night this summer. Nostalgic music set the mood for a mellow evening. Several large hammocks for relaxing...or what I imagine as relaxing if your kids aren't trying to flip each other out onto the dirt. There were lawn games, soccer balls, etc for impromptu games on the grass. Friendly, diverse crowd - young families, grandparents, teenagers, lovebirds on dates. We enjoyed our beers while sitting inside the adorable open-air beer bus. We waited until sunset to ride the Ferris wheel. The spacious gondolas felt secure and I overcame my fear of Ferris wheels while enjoying the beautiful view. The ride felt lengthy and worth the $6. The kids ended the night with yummy snow cones. So much fun! read more
