WOW MK Observation Wheel

Willen Observation Wheel

The Willen Observation Wheel (WOW MK) stands at 36-metres tall. A ride on WOW MK will give you beautiful views across the lake and onto the city beyond.

WOW MK has a total of 24 gondolas which can sit up to six people at a time. Each complete rotation of the wheel takes approximately 10 minutes meaning you can sit back and relax whilst admiring the city from a completely different view.

Prices start at £5 for individuals and £20 for families. The ride is wheelchair accessible.

We have adventures for all, making Willen Lake the perfect destination for a family day out!
