Actually I loved it although had my eyes shut going up. Voiceover by Steve Coogan was just perfect, gentle and calming, thank you Steve. Now know I could do it againm, which is amazing from soneone who is scared to stand on a chair. More

We really liked the Brighton Wheel which at £8.50 each was a fair price. The views are great and got some great photos. They also have one VIP box which costs £75.00 which includes a half bottle of champagne, a great present for someone you care for. There is so much going on in Brighton especially on the beachfront that... More

We went on the Brighton Wheel, and although not particularly cheap (£8 pp) I would consider it a "must do" whilst visiting Brighton as it does show the place off from a new perspective. On our ride we went round three times, giving ample opportunity to take lots of pictures, and which we thoroughly enjoyed. More

Have been here twice, once with a group of friends and once with the family. Both groups were suitably impressed. Despite there not being a great deal to see (unlike from the London Eye) the experience itself was memorable. Prices are steep whch is the only downside. More

We took a trip on the Wheel, spontaneously when we were walking through Brighton. Despite it being Friday afternoon in school holidays, there was no queue. At £25 for a family, it was reasonable value. You get 4 circuits; the views are great along a coastline we are familiar with. Commentary by Steve Coogan is pithy and moderately adult but... More

We were visiting from Canada and went mid-week and out of season. It did seem expensive at first, but after riding the wheel for at least half an hour, (there was no line-up so they kept going), it was well worth the lay-out. The view all around was amazing and the informative recording was appreciated. We took many pictures and... More

We haven't been over to Brighton for a while now and heard that they had a wheel that wasn't as large as the London Eye but it was still pretty huge. Entry is simply enough, there are two ticket booths if you haven't already [urchased your ticktes online and the staff are very freindly. There were five adults two under... More

Living in Brighton and seeing everything from street level we thought this would be a nice opportunity to see Brighton from the air. Dont get me wrong this attraction isnt awful but it just isnr really high enough. Brighton is quite hilly and the wheel gives an OK view along the beach in either direction but not a really decent...

This was a Highlight of my time in Brighton. My husband & I arrived from Heathrow to Brighton via Coach and did'nt realize how incredible the surroundings of Brighton, Hove & East Sussex Truly ARE. Incredible Ocean, Country and City Views with commentary. Take your Camera & Snap Away in every direction! Each little room/thingy has air conditioning. Fairly Priced... More

At first the £8 per person seemed too much but at least the view from the wheel was impressive! There is a recorded message providing useful information on what you can see and we counted 4 turns on the wheel! The best part is that you see the new Pier and next to it the old burnt one..
