The Wurstelprater is an amusement park and section of the Wiener Prater (a park) in the second district of Vienna, Leopoldstadt. The best-known attraction is the Riesenrad, a ferris wheel. The park also features various rides, bumper cars, carousels, and more.
The mascot for the park is Calafati, a 9 m-tall sculpture of a Chinese man, which stands near the Riesenrad.
The park is open from 10:00 am to 1:00 am daily in its season, which runs from March 15 to October 15. Some attractions, as well as the food stands and restaurants, are open throughout the year. There is no entrance fee to get into the park; instead, each attraction charges its own fee, the attractions being individual businesses mostly owned by local families.
