Big Wheels
This ride is known as the Ferris wheel in America after George Washington Gale Ferris Jr, who built a particularly impressive one that was aimed to rival the Eiffel Tower for the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. However, in the UK it is better-known as the big wheel, a name that we prefer as Ferris Jr did not invent the ride!
Whatever you prefer to call it, this has to be one of the most popular fairground rides in the world. It even has its own emoji! š”
This gentle ride is ideal for families and children who want a sedate ride. The big wheel is also perfect for Valentineās Day events: what could be more romantic than holding hands and snuggling together as you look out across the skyline?Ā
The beautiful traditional styling of the big wheel makes it very popular for weddings. We think you can agree that it looks great in photos!
Our Ferris wheels come in three different full sizes – plus a special childrenās version for little ones who might be nervous about heights. Ā See below for more details.Ā
Our booking package includes everything you need: All paperwork including insurance and regular third-party independent testing, transport, assembly and disassembly, professional staff and lighting
We can also tailor the big wheel to fit your wedding colours or corporate branding. Contact Irvin Leisure today to discuss booking the big wheel for your event.
