Visitors to one of Crawley's most popular attractions, Tilgate Park, can now enjoy stunning views of the park and surrounding area from a giant 30 metre observation wheel currently located in the park.
The wheel offers a unique opportunity to experience Tilgate Park from a completely different perspective, with each ride lasting approximately six minutes and providing panoramic views across the park's lakes, woodland and open spaces.
The attraction is proving popular with visitors looking for a memorable day out and another reason to visit one of Crawley's most loved destinations.
Tilgate Park is one of Crawley's greatest assets, attracting visitors from across the region throughout the year. The observation wheel gives residents and visitors an opportunity to experience the park from a completely different viewpoint and enjoy some truly fantastic views. Thrill seekers will love it! It's a great addition to the range of activities available at Tilgate Park and we hope many people will take the opportunity to enjoy it.
