Ferris Wheel

The Ferris wheel in Maxim Gorky Central Children's Park is a landmark attraction, the tallest in Minsk. Its height reaches 54 meters, and the wheel's diameter is 51 meters. The attraction was installed in 2003 and has since been a popular spot for both locals and tourists. Up to 144 people can be on the wheel at the same time, thanks to its 36 cabins, 4 of which are open and 32 are closed. The Ferris wheel offers a unique opportunity to enjoy a panoramic view of the capital of Belarus. From the top, there is a magnificent view of central Minsk, the Svislach River, and the nearby parks. One full rotation takes about 9 minutes, giving plenty of time to take impressive photos of the city and surrounding landscapes. The attraction is available for both adults and children, but there are age restrictions for safety. In closed cabins, children from 12 years old are allowed to ride (accompanied by adults), while in open cabins, only those aged 14 and above can ride. The attraction is not recommended for people with a fear of heights, cardiovascular diseases, or claustrophobia. The Ferris wheel operates daily from 10:00 to 21:00, attracting thousands of visitors year-round. Its convenient location in the center of Minsk and the stunning views make this attraction a must-visit for those who want to see the city from a new, exciting perspective.
