Top ways to experience Hong Kong Observation Wheel and nearby attractions

The area
Neighbourhood: Central
When people think of Hong Kong, most imagine movies with famous skyscrapers dominating the skyline. The area widely known as Central is the major financial hub and entertainment district, which truly lives up to the saying, “work hard, play hard.” Bars stay open late into the night and there just happens to be a street party every weekend. Although everything seems to be operating at lightning speed, Central is full of quiet, hidden gems. Nestled between office towers are wet markets and some of the city’s oldest restaurants dating back to the 1960s. Feeling a bit overwhelmed? Retreat from the crowds by exploring beautifully restored historical buildings and even a green oasis of botanical gardens.

Don't take it at night
Nov 2023 • Couples
Taking the wheel in the evening is not a good idea. The musty glass prevents you from getting decent photos and while the view is reasonable, it's far better during the day.

Disappointed !!!
Sep 2023 • Friends
We joyfully brought our friends to the Ferris wheel, only to have a disappointing journey. After buying the tickets that day, the staff responsible for checking the tickets had a terrible attitude - arrogant, lazy, and spoke to guests with a dismissive tone. Our initial excitement quickly faded away. We initially thought that it was just their attitude towards us, but we witnessed the same behavior towards other guests as well, which was truly disheartening. We hope this issue is addressed.

In terms of the hardware, the QR codes they asked us to scan were already worn out and unreadable.

A private cabin with stunting view
Oct 2023 • Family
Very nice view on top. the ferries wheel make 3 turns. Went at 7plus pm. Book the private cabin 160 HKD. I find it worth it as my whole family are inside the cabin without any stranger. We can keep taking pictures and move around in the cabin . Waited for maybe 15mins to board the cabin. A very nice experience for my boys

Beautiful sights
Jul 2023
The top of the ferris wheel allows you stunning views over Victoria Harbour (particularly at night), so it's well worth the £2 entrance fee. You have to usually share your carriage with other people and there are also long queues (we waited 30 minutes to get on), so ensure you have a fan & lots of water with you. Well worth a visit here.

Nice and Memorable Experince
Jul 2022 • Family
It was a memorable experience with the family. We took a lot of pictures there because the view was stunning. Rides are also nice they enjoyed a lot with the rides. The prices are not that much expensive. Hope to be back again soon with the family.

The spending power of 20HKD in Hong Kong
Oct 2021 • Family
If you're travelling to Hong Kong, the Victoria Harbour undoubtedly is a must-visit spot. You can witness the prosperous of the city built on both sides of the harbour.

Here, you can enjoy the sun rising on one side of the harbour and sun setting in another side. When the night comes, the stunning view of Hong Kong cityview will appear along the Victoria Harbour.

Locate just beside the Central Ferry Pier, the observation wheel of Hong Kong, will only cost you 20HKD for a 10-minute ride (was over 100HKD/ride before the acquisition).

This is our third time here and the family is still enjoying the view much. I must say, this 20HKD is one of the best well spent 20HKD in Hong Kong.

Nothing to wow about!
Mar 2021 • Couples
For HKD 20 per person it's OK. We have our own pod which was great, however, was not that impressed as the pod was quite misty and hence taking pictures from the pod was not ideal. It was an OK ride. I was bored pretty quickly as there is not much to do. The wheel just goes round 3 times.
