AmberSky Gdańsk is a 50-meter tall ferris wheel in Gdańsk. It opened to the public in June 2016. It changed locations and reopened to the public on December 1, 2018.[2] It is different from the Ferris wheel owned by Oscar Bruch from Germany that operated seasonally in Gdańsk before AmberSky's construction.[3]
