There was little activity, so the process from entry to the ride was entertaining, the view from the Ferris wheel is wonderful despite the blue windows. We were lucky and were able to take great photos of the city from the upper part of the window without a blue tint, as the window was not tinted. The ride time was absolutely fine for the price. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were very satisfied and are glad to have had this experience with children.

Guide didn’t provide any additional info or tips, only listened to the standard audio. Would have been great for a few local tips for things to do / eat
