There are a minimum of three complete rotations of the observation wheel during each trip. The Panoramic Wheel will rotate once or twice while passengers are boarding.

Individual customers are welcome on the Panoramic Wheel.  The operator will avoid mixing groups during their trips on the Panoramic Wheel where possible.  As a family-oriented attraction, the operator believes this approach aligns with the expectations of our visitors and enhances the overall experience.

The Panoramic Wheel ride pricing reflects the requirement that all visitors must purchase entry to Fota Wildlife. Tickets start at €5 per person, with discounted rates available for families and annual pass holders.

A group may take a trip on the Panoramic Wheel, no pre-booking is necessary.

Wheelchair users are welcome to board the Panoramic Wheel and can enjoy the experience comfortably. However, as there are steps to access both the platform and the seating, visitors wishing to ride on the Panoramic Wheel must be able to transfer to, and from, the Panoramic Wheel independently, or with assistance from accompanying friends or family.

Children’s buggies may not be taken onboard the Panoramic Wheel. Visitors can deposit buggies in the nearby buggy parking bay, if they are planning to take a trip on the Panoramic Wheel. Staff on site will be happy to provide details.

The Wheel is owned by the same operator. However, this Panoramic Wheel is larger than the one that’s operated during the Christmas Glow event, which is run by a separate franchise.
