Santa Monica Wheel
The Santa Monica Wheel is the Ferris wheel on the Santa Monica Pier. After a few action-packed rides, this is where you catch your breath. For a moment you feel transported to 1960s America.
The concept
The Santa Monica Pier is modelled on the famous pier in California. The Ferris wheel naturally belongs there. The wheel has 16 gondolas, each with room for up to four people. Ideal for a family.


The Experience
You lean back and enjoy the fresh air at a height of 20 metres. You look out over the park and the impressions of the past few hours. From your gondola you can see the Pier Side Carousel, among other things, and look across to the western area. A calm ride without any scares.
