As the world's first and only rotating boat lift, The Falkirk
Wheel is quite simply unique. You need to experience it first hand
on one of our world famous boat trips!
Pre-book your seat now!
Boat trips begin in the basin outside The Falkirk Wheel Visitor
Centre. The boat then sails into the bottom caisson of The Wheel,
which commences its graceful ascent to join the Union Canal 35m
above. The ascent takes approximately 15 minutes, allowing plenty
of time to enjoy the stunning views of the spectacular surrounding
scenery.
The boat then sails gently along the Union Canal, through the 180
metre Roughcastle tunnel, under the historic Antonine Wall, before
returning for a smooth descent that gently lifts you down over the
Visitor Centre, and back into the basin.
Trips last approximately one hour, and you should arrive at least
30 minutes before your allocated trip time, in order to collect
your pre-booked tickets and allow time to board the boat.
The Falkirk Wheel Visitor Centre is fully accessible, with
dedicated disabled car parking spaces provided.
