A landmark leisure complex in Ashgabat crowned by a huge enclosed Ferris wheel, once recognised as the largest indoor Ferris wheel in the world. The star-shaped building of white marble and glass houses cafes, shops and amusements alongside the giant wheel within its facade. It forms part of the wave of record-setting architecture built during the capital's rapid redevelopment. Brightly illuminated after dark, it has become a popular family destination in the city.
