The Famous Ferris Wheel In Missouri Promises Fun For The Whole Family

We all define adventure differently. For some, adventure means breathtaking thrills like skydiving or go-karting around a race track. Yet, for others, a rejuvenating hike in the woods is the ideal adventure. For a unique family-friendly adventure that will take your breath away, climb aboard this spectacular Ferris wheel in Missouri.

Watch the Branson skyline appear before you as The Branson Ferris Wheel, tucked in Track 4 of the Track Family Fun Parks, inches its way to its highest point of 150 feet.

Before it arrived in Branson, the spectacular Ferris wheel sat in Navy Pier in Chicago. Today, it promises sensational views of Branson and the Ozark Mountains.

Climb into your individual gondola, which sits up to six people, for the 15-minute ride that's perfect when the city is drenched in sunlight and glittering in lights at night.

Forty gondolas make up the Ferris wheel, so you can ride with 239 fellow visitors.

Even if you're afraid of heights, you can still enjoy the beauty of the Ferris wheel from the ground — especially in the evening when it's aglow in 16,000 LED lights.

If you're in your car or have radio access on your smartphone, tune in to 90.9 FM for a sensational, synchronized music and light show. Watch the lights on the Ferris wheel dance to the music each night.

The light and music show kicks off each evening once it's dark and continues every hour on the hour. However, the show only runs weather-permitting.

Up for some more fun after your Ferris wheel ride? Check out the rest of Track 4, which features such attractions as bumper boats and...

...the Heavy Metal High Rise (pictured below). Don't forget to race around the go-kart track, watch the kiddos on the kids' Ferris wheel, and bump others on the bumper cars.

Tickets for the Branson Ferris Wheel cost $10.95 for individuals 12 and older; $6.95 for kids 11 years and younger; and kids who are three and younger are free.

Prices do not include sales tax, so expect to pay a bit more once the sales tax is added.
