Day or night you can enjoy beautiful sokcho eye and experience the ride for only 12.000won. The sea is really clear and the beach is really pretty. My friends and I bought streetfood from sokcho jungang sijang and we ate them in sokcho beach with really nice weather.

It costs 12,000 won for an adult fare. The Ferris wheel moves slowly so you have plenty of time to take in the beautiful views of Sokcho. We waited in line for about 10 minutes. It also lights up at night making for a cool photo op. I would recommend checking it out if you are visiting Sokcho !

If you come early and can park your car at the parking lot no 1, then it is very near to this spot. That day the weather was not good, cant take sunset pic. The price of the ride is the same for adult and children. 12000 won. Coz of the maintenance, I waited in line just to buy tickets for about 40 mins, plus another queueing for 15mins to ride. Just one round and it took like less than 10 mins. Well.. if you can see the sunset, then it might b worth the ride. If not, just not worth it at all.
