Wheeler Ferris Wheel Opening Saturday Mornings

The Wheeler Ferris Wheel is excited to announce updated hours for this fall, which will feature an early opening time of 8:00am on Saturday mornings. The Wheeler Riverfront Plaza, which offers a direct connection to the Oklahoma River Trails, is perfectly positioned to offer amenities to cyclists or runners using the trails. The Snack Shack offers bottled water and healthy snack options, and the plaza features plenty of parking to serve those who would like to start their trail adventure from the Ferris Wheel. Whether you’re headed out for a run on Saturday morning or part of a larger organization hosting an event, the Wheeler Riverfront Plaza is a public space that is readily available to be used.

“There are several rides that leave from Downtown on Saturday mornings” says Chad Hodges, Team Director for DNA Racing. “With the Ferris Wheel extending it's hours and the easy river trail access it will provide a great mid-ride stop to refill water bottles, sit down for a quick snack, or even take a Ferris Wheel ride to check out the amazing view of the OKC skyline. The Wheeler District is already host of the Wheeler Criterium and this is another great example of their commitment to help grow and improve Oklahoma City cycling.”
