Home > Location & Attractions > Merlion Park/ Singapore Flyer
 

With a breathtaking height of 165m the Singapore Flyer is the biggest observation wheel on the globe; its height is equivalent to that of a 42 storey building, making it about 30 m taller than the renowned London Eye. 

As the wheel rotates the visitor will be presented with a sensational panoramic view of Singapore’s most prominent landmarks including Singapore River, Marina Bay, Merlion Park, Raffles Place, the Padang and Empress Place. There is no better way to obtain a bird’s-eye view of the beautiful Lion City.

A complete wheel rotation takes about 37 minutes and the breathtaking vistas on offer ensure that passengers are never bored.  The Singapore Flyer features 28 capsules, sealed and air-conditioned, each of which accommodates up to 28 passengers in total comfort and assured safety.

The Merlion Park is an expansive and meticulously maintained area of greenery which lies adjacent to the renowned Singapore River. Its well known icon is the famous ‘Merlion’, an imaginary creature with the body of a fish and the head of a lion. The Merlion was conceived of in the 1960s by the Singapore Tourism Board to serve as the mascot and official symbol of Singapore. Since then the figure has become famous worldwide, becoming a proud figurehead for the small Asian nation.

A viewing deck at the park can accommodate up to 300 people at a time, providing captivating views of the Merlion and the mesmeric skyline. Passengers who arrive on boats can also be accommodated with a landing point situated in proximity to the statue. Bars and restaurants can also be found in the vicinity of Merlion Park.
