Singapore Flyer
One of the world's largest observation wheels, standing at 165 meters, offering panoramic views of the cityscape and beyond.
Singapore Flyer is a 165-metre observation wheel at 30 Raffles Avenue, overlooking Marina Bay and the city centre. The attraction soft-launched in March 2008 and officially opened on 15 April 2008; it was acquired by Straco Corporation through Straco Leisure in November 2014. A standard Singapore Flyer ticket includes entry to Time Capsule, an immersive pre-ride experience on Singapore's history, followed by one 30-minute rotation in a shared capsule. The current visitor information lists daily opening from 10am to 10pm, with last admission at 9.30pm. Beyond the main ride, the Flyer sells premium experiences such as 165 Sky Dining, Singapore Sling and Champagne experiences, private capsules and venue hire. It is best suited for skyline views, visiting friends and family, date nights and tourists who want a clear orientation of the Marina Bay area.
The Singapore Flyer stands as a magnificent engineering marvel that has become an integral part of Singapore's iconic skyline. This giant observation wheel offers more than just views - it's a journey through Singapore's spectacular cityscape that tells the story of a nation's progress through its architecture and urban planning. Each rotation brings new perspectives of Marina Bay, the downtown core, and even glimpses of neighboring countries on clear days.
Selected for its exceptional contribution to Singapore's tourism landscape and its ability to provide unparalleled aerial views of the city-state. The Singapore Flyer's commitment to creating memorable experiences through various themed capsules and special packages, combined with its impeccable safety record and consistent service quality, makes it a must-visit attraction worthy of TheBestSG recognition.
