Making History Come Alive for School Pupils and Teachers

The Giant Ferris Wheel is a popular cross curricula topic. We also make the material from the Panorama available for history classes so that presentations or a visit to the Panorama and the Giant Ferris Wheel are filled with historic content.

We would be very pleased if a substantial number of teachers and pupils would use this service and take the opportunity to visit the Giant Ferris Wheel soon. All the other information set out below can also be printed out.

Under the title "CHILDREN EXPERIENCE HISTORY – A JOURNEY THROUGH 2000 YEARS OF VIENNESE HISTORY" we would like to invite school groups to the Giant Ferris Wheel and to the new history panorama.

A particularly impressive historical event from 2000 years of Viennese history and culture can be experienced in each of the eight additional cabins which have been furnished with hundreds of figurines and miniature models.
This enables you to explain the time and space of the development of Vienna to children of all ages in the various experiential and learning areas and complement your tuition with an experience which brings the history of the city to life.

Our time journey starts in Vienna during the Roman age, moves through the Middle Ages – the building of St. Stephan's Cathedral, - through the Turkish Wars to the turn of the century with Venice in Vienna in the golden 20's and finally, to the destruction wreaked by World War II.

Finally, you and your pupils can enjoy a breathtaking view of Vienna on a trip on the Giant Ferris Wheel. For the time journey and the trip on the Ferris Wheel please calculate 35 minutes.
