La centenaria dama de hierro que vio naufragios, incendios y hasta un plato volador amarillo
The Ferris wheel is open daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM in high season (summer) and until 8:00 PM in winter; check the current schedule on its official website. It is easy to reach from Scheveningen Pier, either by walking from the beach or by taking tram line 1 from The Hague.
The price is €14.50 for adults, €10.50 for children (ages 4-11), and free for children under 4. You can buy tickets online at this link to avoid queues.
One full rotation on the Ferris wheel lasts about 20-25 minutes, offering spectacular panoramic views. I recommend allowing 30-45 minutes in total, including waiting time.
Opened in 2021, it is one of the most modern Ferris wheels in Europe, with enclosed and climate-controlled gondolas, located on the iconic Scheveningen Pier. It offers a unique view of the North Sea and the Dutch coast, highlighting the tourism development of this area since the 19th century.
Sunset in summer (June-August) is ideal for magical views of the sun setting over the sea. Avoid windy or rainy days; check the forecast and opening hours at skyviewdepier.nl.
Yes, it is fully accessible, with ramps, elevators, and gondolas adapted for wheelchairs. Contact +31 70 354 00 00 for special assistance before your visit.
On the Pier itself, you will find restaurants, shops, and attractions such as the Sea Life aquarium. Nearby are Scheveningen Beach, Muzee Museum, and the Kurhaus for a full day out.
Bring a camera or phone with a full battery for photos, dress warmly in the higher gondolas, and buy tickets online. If you are traveling with family, combine it with a walk along the beach to make the most of the day.
