Opening of Delhi Eye in Kalindi Kunj, New Delhi on Oct-2-2014 was among the fastest spreading news in the nation for fun ride lovers and amusement park lovers! (For me too..!!) And when this giant wheel in New Delhi was directly being compared to the great LONDON EYE, it raised the level of curiosity in me.
Last week, luckily I had to visit Delhi for an Event and I decided to pay a visit to this giant wheel which is India’s tallest Ferris wheel and 5th tallest Ferris wheel of the world. These points were enough to raise the level of curiosity in me.
Delhi Eye Ride Review: YAY or NAY?
Delhi Eye is situated in Delhi Rides Amusement Park, in Kalindi Kunj. It is about 250ft tall with 36 cabins. Each cabin is air conditioned with comfortable seats. Though, they say 7-8 people can sit in one cabin, but I felt only 4-5 people can sit in a cabin, if they want to sit comfortably.
It took around 45 minutes for me to each to Delhi rides from C.P. They say that this ride ‘Delhi Eye’ provides a
bird eye view of Delhi. They said that you will be able to see monuments like Akshardham temple, Qutub Minar, Lotus Temple, Red Fort, Connaught Place and Humayun’s Tomb.
For me, if judging from this aspect, this ride was a big time disappointment!! I was done with the four rounds of this Delhi eye ride in just 10-15minutes. I was not able to see even a single mentioned monument. Not even Qutub Minar!! My colleagues said that the blur visibility was because of the climate, but for me… this reason wasn’t valid at all. I could only see the under-construction buildings and the lush green fields from the top this ride.
If you are planning to visit this giant wheel just to see these monuments from this ride, then you might get disappointed. But if you are planning to visit it just for your love rides and just for fun, then you will surely enjoy this ride.
I surely enjoyed my time in Delhi Eye. It was just another ride for me, but as I love being on rides, it totally loved it. It is worth visiting once, but I will surely visit it again!!
All in all, its a YAY from my side to Delhi Eye! And for now, enjoy these pictures that I clicked while on the Delhi Eye Ride!! Hope you like them all 🙂

Nice and informative review of Delhi rides Kalindi Kunj. Its a famous tourist attraction and a nice place to spend quality time.
Did u not enjoy the water park there apart from the ferry?
I wanted to know about the park and its rides.
Your post would have been more helpful if you mentioned cost and its worth.
Thanks
The water park was horrible,when u open the showers to get a shower, red rusty water comes out of shower instead,having total of four to five rides in amusement park from which only 2-3 were working which where also broken,the belts on the rides were broken,no safety for kids,if you have paid for thali outside with ticket charges then you should know that there is no thali inside and also your money will not be refunded,very bad food,very very dirty water and with horrible smell,broken water rides,no safety on rides,bad rides when you go in you stuck at many places,no guard to keep an eye on the rides for the safety,very rude and bad staff,no water in washrooms
If you want to get sick,ill,skin infection,rashes you can go there for sure, mosquito in the water,algae on the floor,on the rides,on the rain dance floor,very dirty place………it’s alot better to have a shower at home rather than going there and come back being very ill and with lots of infections…the worst place on world..DELHI RIDES!😭😷😲😕😔😵😤😨💩
Strongly agree with you …..actual feedback…Dnt go to Delhi Eye….totally wastage of money
