- Wonder Wheels FalkirkOctober 29, 2016After a revamp, place looks and is great with new toddlers boat pond, paddling pool and water play park and irn bru play park, they have made big improvements
Pam MacdonaldAugust 13, 2013Great play area for the kids. Water play area, bring towel/spare clothes. Bring picnic, hot food provision outside the visitor centre is expensive and no where near value for money! (Steak bar)
Mark LoganAugust 19, 2012Follow the path under the wheel and come out at the Antonine Wall remains, wander round and join the path on the other side to take you back to the wheel. Great for walking the dog.
Yarn LamJuly 31, 202320 mins free parking is enough to get in and snap some pictures of this engineering marvel! Park at the upper gallery, it’s less crowded.
- Ivar StruthersJanuary 5, 2019Just popped into the cafe for lunch and had an excellent baked potato with haggis and side salad. Cafe a bit cavernous and cold (can be noisy if there are a lot of children about) but food's good.
- Greg FullerAugust 21, 2022Fascinating way to have a lock on the canal. Well worth your time to visit and watch the wheel in action.
- Ricky GowerAugust 29, 2017A very impressive piece of engineering and well worth a visit if your in the area
Gavin EvansSeptember 12, 2012Don't bother paying to go on it. Instead walk on the free paths around it, you'll see everything that you would on the boat.
- Once you have been once it gets a little boring. Got a wee kids park though so keeps them entertained.
garry nairnFebruary 26, 2012been a few times always enjoyed it , i even abseiled down off it for charity :-) , that wasn't as much fun
David RankinJuly 13, 2010the Falkirk Wheel is an amazing piece of engineering which connects 2 canals.
- David RankinJune 30, 2010go to the Falkirk Wheel and go round and round. you can transfer from one canal to another
PaulAugust 18, 2012Bring a bank loan for the food and drink stands. Or visit the Spar in Camelon Main Street first to stock up on juice n snacks for the kids.
FlorianJuly 21, 2011a marvel of engineering funded with EU money made into a tacky tourist attraction. entry is free.
Stuart MartinMarch 14, 2016Take your own food. The cafe is overpriced and not really worth the money.
Todd ChristensenJune 4, 2011See the employees for a taxi back to Falkirk High, we walked it, it was awful. Also, the food here SUCKS! The wheel is cool.
Carlos deAAugust 24, 2013Obra de ingeniería increíble y que es recomendable visitar con tiempo. Las vistas desde la colina son muy chulas.
Maria Rimskaya-KorsakovaJuly 20, 2014Отличный водяной городок для детей, разнообразные водяные насосы, взрослым будет тоже любопытно.
