We decided to head to the Prater for our first night in Vienna to check out the Giant Ferris Wheel. We were happy to see that there are also a lot of other carnival type rides, including one featuring Speedy Gonzales and his spinning sombreros. We got there pretty late and wanted to eat first thing, so we stopped at... More

Went today and we were very lucky as the weather was perfect. It is definitely a place for families and people who like the fair. We went just for the ferris wheel glad we did it so we can say we have been. Would we go again? No once is definitely enough, just not to our taste.

This place offers a good day out in fun, relaxation and offers good food, and some amazing rides to get your heart-rate going! Must see if you are in Vienna.

It's a big ferris wheel. It does offer you a great view of Vienna and the surrounding areas of the Danube.
