Mystery Photo Monday #7 – Answer – The Wharf – Orange Beach, AL
Posted in Places to Go & Things to Do on February 16, 2010
For Mystery Photo Monday, I asked if you knew where/what this was:
This ferris wheel can be found at The Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama.
The Wharf is only about 45 minutes away from Pensacola so it is ideal for a little day trip getaway. You might be familiar with The Wharf because they often have great concerts in their huge amphitheater. The kids will love riding this ferris wheel…well, most of them! I must admit that we have not taken a ride on the ferris wheel yet. Big S was not thrilled with the idea of riding it and we weren’t willing to buy tickets only to have him change his mind at the last minute. Instead, we sat on a bench across the way and watched the ferris wheel go round and round for about 30 minutes before having lunch. Tickets to ride the ferris wheel are $4.00. The ferris wheel does not run on Mondays. The ferris wheel is surrounded by many shops and restaurants so when you are finished riding, have lunch or wander through the shops or to the beach and make a day of it!
The Wharf is located at 23101 Canal Rd, Orange Beach, AL 36561 and the general contact number is 1-877-WharfAL.
