Singapore Flyer – Asia's Largest Observation Wheel

Step onboard the Singapore Flyer and treat your senses with a 360 degree view of the city skyline and get a bird’s eye view of some of Singapore’s iconic landmarks. Standing at 165 metres, the Singapore Flyer is Asia's tallest observation wheel. Its line of sight can extend from the city to Changi Airport, Sentosa, and even some parts of Malaysia and Indonesia on a clear day! A complete turn takes about 30 minutes, and all capsules are comfortably air-conditioned. Thirty minutes of fun in a (seemingly) open capsule overlooking a spectacular city landscape, it can’t get any better than that!

Oh wait, yes it can. When nightfall approaches, the Singapore Flyer takes on an entirely different look. The wheel lights up spectacularly with coloured LED lights, a perfect contrast against the night sky. A ride on the wheel is different, and just as impressive as it is in the day. You’ll be dazzled by the visual feast the vibrant local night scene brings you as you feast your eyes on the panoramic view of Singapore’s city lights.


Dine, Play, Shop

Besides being home to a giant observation wheel, the Singapore Flyer packs a whole lot of fun within its compound. The tourist attraction aims to please, and you get the entire package – dine, play, shop.

Treat yourself to an interesting array of food at the Singapore Flyer. Choices are aplenty - snacks, bubble tea, bar food, juice, fast food and international cuisine will have you spoilt for choice, and don’t miss out on the Singapore Food Trail to experience the nation’s favorite local dishes! With local cuisine like chicken rice, barbecued seafood, fried oysters, rojak, fried kway teow and more, it won’t take you long to realise why Singaporeans are affectionately known amongst themselves as ‘a nation of foodies’.

It’s activity galore in this fun-filled place. You can pamper yourself at Kenko Reflexology and Fish Spa as a school of Garra Rufa 'doctor fish' exfoliates your feet. If that’s not your cup of tea, try the XD Theatre, where you can race through snow-capped mountains and Artic landscapes on a motion stimulator. Aviation enthusiasts will love the Flight Experience, where ‘pilots’ can zip across the globe in a fully equipped flight stimulator. Are you a fan of the Formula One Race? Here’s your chance to get whiz through the track just like your favourite F1 drivers with Ultimate Drive.

After all that excitement, take a relaxing stroll at Rainforest Discovery, the Singapore Flyer’s built-in rainforest. You get to walk through along paths and savour the sights of lush greenery, cascading water displays and streams all under the magnificent observation wheel.

So you’ve had plenty of fun. Bring those memories home with you by getting mementos from Singapore Flyer Gifts (#03-03)! If you’re in the mood for more shopping, head on over to Level 1 and 2, where more retail therapy opportunities await.
