Itinerary and highlights

At Yup Star you can go around as many times as you like, enjoy snacks and drinks at the cafe and even stop by our souvenir shop.

It works like this, you buy your ticket, schedule the date of the visit and, when you finish the first round, just get in line again. Ah, each lap lasts around 20 minutes.

Pay attention to the park's closing time, so arrive early to enjoy the wheel, which is 88 meters high and has 54 cabins, and can transport up to 8 people per cabin.

The Ferris Wheel is next to AquaRio, close to the Museum of Tomorrow and the Sea. It's a great tour for anyone coming to Porto Maravilha!
