Regular half way (almost) stop off on cycle trips along the F/C-Union Canal between Edinburgh and Glasgow. Always friendly staff, clean and very welcome stock of goodies. Today the curry cauliflower soup so good I thought I’d write a review. Now back to reflective solo cycling in the rain!

What a feat of engineering! The only one in the world. How amazing, decent price. Pay at pay machine or on exit with contactless card. Beautiful cafe with information points, great tasting food at a reasonable price. You could spend hours here doing all the different activities. What a fabulous facility.

A fascinating engineering accomplishment. Really enjoyed the boat trip. Would recommend a visit. The girls who looked after us were professional and humorous. We could have seen more is the windows in the roof of the boat had been cleaned. On site restaurant average.

Unbelievable canal lock mechanism. We arrived late in the day in mid-October and didn't get to see it in operation. It would have been an amazing sight. We did take lots of pictures. There are lots of activities available for your family to do, besides watching the wheel. I highly recommend.

We visited here on the 15th Oct and would highly recommend. We went on the boat trip that takes you up the wheel and along the canal and back again. Our boat captain Gill and our trainee captain Jane were both entertaining and accommodating. The food in the cafe was average and they have a wide selection of souvenirs and goodies in their shop.

Having worked in a technical engineering capacity on the hydraulic system that lifts the flood barrier in London, yet now living in Scotland. I have long wished to visit the Falkirk Wheel and being presented with an opportunity of a veteran reunion 42 years in the making. This location had an added attraction.

Engineering at its best, it was fantastic to see in action taking the boats up and down. There is a tour you can do on a larger canal boat, unfortunately we didn’t have time but worth the wait watching it work. Not a lot else to do this time of year but loads during the main season from the website and information

Day we visited was a bit rainy so we didn't end up doing a ride on boat which gives you an opportunity to experience the Wheel. It is a great piece of modern machinery and architecture. Very impressive to see up close. Worth a visit and with better weather a ride on the boat.

We loved the Falkirk wheel, seeing it working was amazing and so informative for our children too. We stayed over night in a Motorhome and it was amazing seeing the wheel at night with all the lights. The staff were very helpful and friendly. There is access to toilets and showers here. We didn’t go on the boat trip this time but hopefully in the future we will get the chance. There is also a cafe and a gift shop here.

Very cool place. Went on a bike trip from Edinburgh to Glasgow via Union Channel and enjoyed the tranquility of this place. We didn't take the boat but watched the scenery from afar as the ships get lifted up and down at this important and historical crossroads. There is a nice coffee place nearby with good views. Weather was great so that definitely contributed to the experience. Wonderful bike trip and highly recommended!
