The Skyline Ferris Wheel at Catani Gardens is back and the perfect way to enjoy beautiful views of the city and the St Kilda foreshore in style. At 35 meters tall, the wheel is hard to miss, perched between The Esplanade and St Kilda Pier.

A full rotation takes 53 seconds and a ride lasts approximately 5 minutes. Mamma’s kids absolutely loved spotting different things (especially boats!) every time we reached the very top of a rotation.

Even though Mamma’s family went for a pre lunch ride, the wheel is open until 10:30pm so if you choose to go later it would be a beautiful way to take in the sunset or enjoy the lights of St Kilda after dark.

With 24 gondolas in total, you can choose to purchase individual tickets or reserve an entire gondola for the family (maximum capacity is 6 people). Make sure to book online ahead of time to receive a cheeky little discount.
