"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!
