Bournemouth Big Wheel

Details

Standing over 100 feet tall at Pier Approach, the Bournemouth Big Wheel offers a truly unique perspective on this beautiful coastal town. As you gently ascend in one of the 27 gondolas, a stunning panorama unfolds beneath you, showcasing the golden sands of Bournemouth beach, the historic pier, and the charming town itself. Each gondola provides a comfortable and scenic ride, rotating 360 degrees to ensure you don’t miss a single detail of the breathtaking views. From the apex of your journey, you can gaze across the sparkling bay, spotting the Isle of Purbeck to the west and the Isle of Wight to the east on a clear day, as well as the lush expanse of the Grade II listed Lower Gardens. It's an ideal way to get your bearings and appreciate the stunning landscape.

Whether you're visiting with family, friends, or enjoying a romantic outing, the Big Wheel provides a memorable experience for all ages. The ride typically consists of two rotations, allowing ample time to soak in the scenery and capture some incredible photographs of the coastline and surrounding area. Conveniently located near the beach and town centre, it’s an easily accessible attraction that has been a popular landmark for both locals and tourists since its arrival. Operating daily from 10 am, it’s a perfect activity for a sunny afternoon or a picturesque evening as the sun begins to set over the horizon. Don't miss the chance to see Bournemouth from this incredible bird's-eye view.
