How To Ride The Golden Reel Macao? Tickets, Prices & Hours
Discover Macau’s Sky-High Thrills on the World’s First Figure-8 Ferris Wheel!
Inspired by a Hollywood tale of asteroids shooting between Studio City’s Art Deco towers, this landmark features 17 spacious, steampunk-themed glass pods (each holding up to 10 passengers).
The ride follows a unique figure-8 track, lasting about 15 minutes per loop — giving everyone plenty of time to snap photos, spot famous sights like the Cotai Strip hotels, and enjoy the panoramic vistas without any scary drops. The enclosed cabins make it comfortable and safe for all ages.
It’s an excellent activity for families with younger children, as the motion is smooth and steady. Kids will be wide-eyed at the views, while parents appreciate the Instagrammable moments and easy pacing.
- Little Steps Tip: Sunset rides are magical as the city lights come alive — a highlight for family photo albums!
