Brilliant to watch it in action! Gift shop & cafe expensive .

Wonder Wheels Falkirk

After a revamp, place looks and is great with new toddlers boat pond , paddling pool and water play park and irn bru play park , they have made big improvements

Pam Macdonald

Great play area for the kids. Water play area , bring towel/spare clothes . Bring picnic , hot food provision outside the visitor centre is expensive and no where near value for money ! (Steak bar )

Mark Logan

Follow the path under the wheel and come out at the Antonine Wall remains, wander round and join the path on the other side to take you back to the wheel. Great for walking the dog.

20 mins free parking is enough to get in and snap some pictures of this engineering marvel! Park at the upper gallery , it’s less crowded .

Just popped into the cafe for lunch and had an excellent baked potato with haggis and side salad . Cafe a bit cavernous and cold (can be noisy if there are a lot of children about) but food's good.

Greg Fuller

Fascinating way to have a lock on the canal . Well worth your time to visit and watch the wheel in action.

Ricky Gower

A very impressive piece of engineering and well worth a visit if your in the area

Riccardo Rigamonti

Amazing! Unique in the world

Gavin Evans

Don't bother paying to go on it. Instead walk on the free paths around it, you'll see everything that you would on the boat.

been a few times always enjoyed it , i even abseiled down off it for charity :-) , that wasn't as much fun

Once you have been once it gets a little boring. Got a wee kids park though so keeps them entertained.

Although interesting, not worth going out of your way to see.

Andi

It may be a feat of engineering , but I wasn't impressed!

Paul

Bring a bank loan for the food and drink stands. Or visit the Spar in Camelon Main Street first to stock up on juice n snacks for the kids.

Florian

a marvel of engineering funded with EU money made into a tacky tourist attraction . entry is free.

Lynne Nicoll

With the boys and big Will

Stuart Martin

Take your own food. The cafe is overpriced and not really worth the money.

Todd Christensen

See the employees for a taxi back to Falkirk High, we walked it, it was awful. Also, the food here SUCKS! The wheel is cool.

Maria Rimskaya-Korsakova

Отличный водяной городок для детей, разнообразные водяные насосы, взрослым будет тоже любопытно.

Obra de ingeniería increíble y que es recomendable visitar con tiempo. Las vistas desde la colina son muy chulas.
