Its a nice place. Very cool. They have hammocks and swinging chairs. They need to add more things here and this will be a very fun place to come here for the night and just chill

We used our tickets that came with our Terminal Commons lunch order. Wheeler Ferris Wheel is a fun activity to do, especially if you have young kids or just want “something different” to do on a free afternoon. They have space to rent for receptions, and a nice area with hammocks and picnic space, and it’s right off the river.

I have been to a lot of giant wheels this is not a fun giant wheel. But slowmo-wheel for kids. It has a kind of good view when we are at top. The surrounding area is lacking an architectural touch (dated -23 Jun 2020). May be they would reconsider development of those regions

Pretty cool spot along the river. My Apple Pay wouldn’t work, and after riding my bike 10 miles I needed a drink. The manager let me take a drink anyway as I said I would come back to pay. Wonderful friendly staff. Highly recommend going and riding the Ferris wheel.

This is a very laid back environment with hammocks hanging between the trees next to the river. The ferris wheel operators disinfect the ride berfore/after each rider.

The Wheeler District is beautiful and offers so much. I first visited on one Friday Music Festivals. It was family friendly, include live music, boutique vendors, a large lawn that was manicured so well that a blanket wasn’t even necessary to sit on the grass. There are hammocks that line that waterfront, the famous Ferris Wheel ride, yard games, beer, and some basic food trucks. Mixed drinks would be a nice addition and the vendors made it feel less authentic. The stage for the live music was off to the side where no one was or would want to sit, at least not with the many other options. Therefore, the music part of the event was forgotten to most. I don’t recall even hearing it. Nevertheless, we had a really nice time and will definitely go back ;0)

Great place for a gathering outside with plenty of room to stretch out and be socially distant in a group. Helped a friend cater for a group of 200. Plus you can take you pic next to the big OKC Alpha statues.

Fun little park with open grassy areas, nearby biking trails, hammocks, and picnic tables. Personally, I think the ride on the ferris wheel is a bit pricy, but it is fun to see OKC from up high. Great place to take the kids or have a fun little get away.

Ferris Wheel ride was average. Not a very powerful machine. We had to split up into groups of two with only 12 people on the ride so that it could spin. Nice atmosphere, though. Great views and good pic spot.

The Ferris wheel is pretty cool. This is probably the coolest thing at Wheeler park.The views are cool. You can sit at least 4 people in a bucket, so this is fun to do with another person or a couple extra people.I think going on the Ferris wheel is worth doing at least once. Try to go during a good time for views like sunset. This is a decent spot for part of a date.This is worth checking out at least once.

Cool little ferris wheel off the side of the highway and river! First time riding one, it was a bit fast and scary but it was fine. Great view and I think the park itself is really nice as well. OKC, hammocks, tables, concessions, bathroom, everything was clean and good!

I love the Wheeler District and Ferris Wheel! When my sister visited it was the first place I took her to see. I recently had a friend from out of state put together a photo book for her husband, and needed a photo from every state! So, naturally I chose the wheeler Ferris wheel! Always so clean, and so much fun and free activities! The hammocks and games are so much fun!

Had so much fun!!!! We went at night originally and rode the Ferris Wheel it was so much fun and only $6 per person. It was very busy so we went back the next morning and took pictures prior to it opening and we had the entire park to ourselves.Pro tip: Go early in the am or close to close.Pro tip: Avoid going on windy days.Con: lengthy wait times️️️️️

Nice place. entry $6 per head. Hardly 6 round they allow you at slow speed. Evening after 8.30 will be the best timing. 1.5hr~2hr is enough.

Hosting large events at Wheeler Park is a great idea. There is plenty of parking, the view is great, and its so close to the walking and riding path by the canal. I was there for the American Cancer Society event and it was the perfect venue.

Recently rode the ferris wheel and we had a great time. The views of downtown OKC are unique and you can see the Wheeler District really starting to grow. The metal roofs looked awesome from the top and we cannot wait to see how the district continues to develop. It is definitely a special place that I would highly recommended visiting and getting a photo in front of the OKC letters.

Theres plenty of space to relax and slow down. There was one food truck, and a shaved ice truck. A space to reserve for events. Plenty of seating. A snack bar. The ferris wheel was only $6 to ride, but it didnt look like it was running. There are hammocks to lounge in. It sits right along the water. Fun fact: the ferris wheel used to be at the Santa Monica Pier in California, before Oklahoma purchased it. Whoever came up with the idea of this spot did a great job on design and execution. It was beautiful to see many folks from different walks of life enjoy the space.

A great place to take friends or family and enjoy the scenery of downtown OKC. They have hammocks surrounding the area that you can lay in, as well as giant swinging chairs. There is an activity center that includes games and sports equipment to play in the surrounding fields.

Way better than expected! So many free things to do too. Hammocks, chairs, lots of grass, free picnic blankets to use. Also giant games like jenga and checkers!

The ride was great. Not too long but just right. They have really made a great effort to have a fun, family space where you can relax in hammocks, sit on a patio, play some free games and enjoy some light concessions while you wait. It is still far from a finished District but is off to a fun start.

Fun out of the way spot in OKC. Pretty cheap to ride a couple rotations and they have quite a few special events there to go check out. There are snacks and drinks to purchase and food trucks are there from time to time as well. Plenty of picnic tables to sit at, lots of great hammocks to lounge in as well. On a nice day it’s a beautiful place to hang out.

Review №85

I read all reviews on it before visiting this place last week and many of them told its best to visit during night.well, its good little place for kids and adults to enjoy,with play area and swings. Only issue was, the place is at a remote location and the entrance road is very narrow with no lights in the parking area which creeps you out..! I wish we would have visited during day time.

So glad we spent our Memorial Day here! Amazing place to hang with friends and family. Beautiful location. We brought our own lawn chairs, but there were a few available picnic tables. I didnt get to ride the Ferris Wheel today, but Im going to make sure I visit soon to do that. Im definitely going to picnic here another time or two before Summer ends.

Review №88

This tourist attraction is a great place to bring families at night. The ferris wheel has some nice views and I loved they allowed couples to go on. This might lead to longer wait times but who wants to ride in a gondola with strangers?The ride was longer than most ferris wheels at 7-8 rotations. I definitely feel like I got my monies worth. Despite the longer ride, and long line,, we were only there for 1.5 hrs.My biggest compliant is that we arrived via bike because this place is right on the bike path. We couldnt find any bike parking though. We locked up to a tree and luckily our bikes were there when we got back. Please get bike racks and if you already have them, put them in a more logical place like by the trail entrance or ticket sales.

The weather was perfect and it was just a really great experience. I Donely six dollars for a ride and $20 for a season pass, it’s a really great value too. The employees are super sweet and it is dog friendly, even on the Ferris wheel. It was absolutely wonderful. It was a little busy, so I will come back again and see if I can’t get into one of those hammocks.

What a well managed and lovely park. We brought lunch there and there are nice picnic tables to eat at in front of a colorful mural wall. There were hammocks to relax in and the ferris wheel ride was a treat!
