Singapore Flyer

Singapore Flyer, the World's largest Giant Observation Wheel, is one of Singapore newest tourist attraction and it is official opened on 15 April 2008 by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

Singapore Flyer stands at 165m with 28 air-conditioned capsules, offers a 360-degree view of sights around the Marina Bay area and parts of Indonesia and Malaysia. Each capsule measuring 7m long by 4m wide by 4m high can accommodate up to 28 guests and each ride is approximately 30-minute.

The views on-board the Flyer will start with eastern Singapore, overlooking places like Chinatown, Kampong Glam and Little India. On the descending part, you can enjoy the first-ever Formula One™ night race track, the Marina Barrage (Singapore's biggest reservoir) and the upcoming Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort.

The Flyer also offers portable in-flight audio guide to all Singapore Flyer ticket holders. The audio guide brings you through a journey of the past, present and future of the Lion's City – from where Sang Nila Utama first arrived, to interesting feng shui trivia of Suntec City and the future Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort.

A friendly tip for you to note. Please visit the toilets before taking the ride, as no toilet is available once you are on it.

For the ticketing details and available packages, please visit the Flyer's website www.singaporeflyer.com.

If you have some time to spare after the ride, you can visit the tropical rainforest which is in the centre of the atrium. You can have a relaxing walk and photo taking on the cascading water displays, streams and rocky outcrops.

If you are hungry after the ride, no worries, there are food & beverage outlets available in the main Terminal Building. I was so happy to see Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits here. In the past, their outlets can only be found in Changi Airport.
