Ferris Wheel attraction at Stokes Hill Wharf to activate Darwin's hospitality and retail sectors

Darwin Waterfront Corporation and Skyline Attractions have announced the return of the ferris wheel to Stokes Hill Wharf for 2023, bringing vibrancy and activity to the wharf that spills over to restaurants, cafés and other retailers throughout the CBD.

This season’s Skyline Precinct provides 360-degree views of Darwin’s harbour and skyline from the 35-metre observation wheel, a popular Australiana themed mini-golf and pop-up pizza bar, as well as a full program of events.

Skyline Attractions’ Jane Jones said her team were excited to be bringing the ferris wheel back to Stokes Hill Wharf for its third year in the Territory.

Jones shared “this year we wanted to crank things up a notch and provide a variety of new events including musical Bingo, comedy nights and live music to really make Stokes Hill Wharf an entertainment destination.”

Local State Member for Port Darwin, Paul Kirby is thrilled to see the return of the Skyline Ferris Wheel to the Waterfront and shared “more than 50,000 people – both locals and tourists – were able to experience this fantastic attraction last season and so many are keen to enjoy the ride and view once again.

“Having attractions and experiences that bring more people into the City is great for our local businesses.

“The ferris wheel delivers vibrancy and activity at the wharf that spills over to restaurants, cafés and other retailers throughout the CBD.”

The Skyline Precinct will open to the public on Saturday 13th May with tickets and a full program of events available from https://www.skylineattractions.com.au/

Stokes Hill Wharf carpark will be reconfigured to house the attractions with three hours of free car parking still available with a valid ticket displayed. The free Waterfront shuttle, which operates around the precinct every 15 minutes, is a fantastic way to access the Wharf.
