The Wheel of Brisbane

The Wheel of Brisbane is an iconic landmark located in the heart of South Bank’s Parklands, offering breathtaking 360-degree views of the Brisbane skyline and the winding river. Standing 60 meters high, this giant observation wheel provides visitors with a unique perspective of the city from the comfort of fully enclosed, air-conditioned gondolas. Each flight lasts approximately 10 to 12 minutes and includes an informative audio commentary that points out major city landmarks and shares fascinating historical facts. It is particularly enchanting at night when the wheel is illuminated and the city lights sparkle below. Perfect for romantic dates, family outings, or sightseeing, the wheel serves as a centerpiece of the South Bank cultural precinct. Whether you are a local or a first-time visitor, a ride on the Wheel of Brisbane is a must-do experience to appreciate the architectural beauty and natural landscape of Queensland’s capital city from a soaring vantage point.
