This was way more fun than I thought it would be. I'm so glad I didn't miss this. I only did it because it was included in the Vienna pass. But this is something I would pay full price for. Apparently you can even eat a meal in one of the cars. We saw a car fully set up for a meal! What a fun thing to do. It didn't seem that high but there is a great view from the top and you can open the small top window and take pictures out of it. Lines were not Long. You don't have to have your pictures taken on the way in. Just tell them you don't want a picture ( 10 euro) and walk on by to the line for this ride. The cute exhibit cars on the way in were fun to take pictures of. Take the blue hop on hop off bus out here if you are riding these.

a little history thing about the ferris wheel before you ride

The most unreal experience that happened in my life. I cant imagine better place for my proposal - the views were insane, the atmosphere is magical and the whole vibe straight out of movie. The perfect ring (also he got it in Vienna), perfect place and beginning of our future read more

I quite enjoyed this ride. It is included in your Vienna pass, conveniently accessible with public transport, interesting entrance and beautiful view of the entire city. I would recommend this place especially for people with young kids. Lots of good souvenir shops around to get your shopping/gift tasks done too. SECRET: if you are traveling as a couple, you can contact them earlier and reserve to have lunch/dinner inside it. Some of them have full on table setting and it can be very romantic.

This seemed like a fun thing to do, so I did it. The ferris wheel has a nice area with cute exhibits with a lot of figures depicting the city in previous centuries before you enter the line to get into the ferris wheel itself. The ferris wheel ride is nice, but there are no seats in some of them. Overall, this place is good. read more

Nice! The giant ferris wheel inside the Prater was really neat! There is a museum of sorts at the beginning talking about the history of the ferris wheel. The cars accommodate many people. Nice attraction - enjoyable and kinda scary - great view out over Vienna. read more

A lot of great cities have Ferris wheels. This one is more humble, but it's cute and offers a charm that doesn't clash with Vienna but offers something interesting. read more

Took the subway station to Prater, which is like Vienna's version of Golden Gate Park in SF and…read moreCentral Park in NY, and they have a free amusement park you can walk through with a famous giant ferris wheel. I mainly just walked around and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the amusement park, and took a bunch of photos of my surroundings. There were uniformed school marching bands that marched and performed thorughout the park during the afternoon I visited, ranging from elementary-aged children up to high school. I ate a Hungarian flatbread called langos for the first time! Enjoyed a very nice couple of hours just walking around as a tourist.

Ah, the Prater. This is a decently sized amusement park that is fun for both kids and adults! You…read morewill see everything a typical park has, from a shooting gallery to flying swings and a ferris wheel. Prices are reasonable, and you pay at each ride. It's also a neat place just to walk through, as there is no admission fee. The soda vending machines were cheap compared to other places, with a bottle of coke for just 1 Euro! At night the rides are all lit up making for a really cool ambiance. It's fun to listen to the screams and try to figure out which ride they're coming from! Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're in Vienna for the culture, the history, the romance of it all. You still need a little time to break away and experience the fun side, and the Prater will give you that...just go! 43/2025
