Singapore Flyer, Singapore

For around $30SD you can see bird’s eye view of Singapore for 30 minutes on Singapore High Flyer. It is Singapore answer to the London Eye but taller. The Singapore High Flyer is 165 meter high. They say on a clear day you could see Malaysia and Indonesia, we didn’t all we saw was Singapore and that’s good enough.

We finalized our few last hours in the Singapore before heading in Malaysia and thought of visiting the Singaporean Flyer. It's a must see tourist attraction since it's nestled within the attractive view of the Marina Bay aside from having the title as the world's largest giant observation wheel which surpassed the London Eye and the Star of Nanchang in China.

What's really amazing here is the capsule which is UV protected for the passenger's comfort and also its capability to accommodate 28 people! amazing right!? It will be a great experience if you can have a 360 degrees view of the city. The SG flyer will never fail to provide you various options with shopping, entertainment and dining experiences! The SG flight experience costs 30 SGD for 30 minutes. Opens daily 830-1030pm.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to ride the flyer due to a long line of passengers at 10am! So we just roamed around the Marina bay. But we were able to have a closer look of the capsule since before coming at the entrance of the flyer, they have a displayed capsule outside.

Honestly, I enjoyed the view outside the flyer. We sat on a bench overlooking the splendid Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort while a wedding photo shoot was being held infront of us.

The Singapore Flyer is one of the newest attractions in town and from the top you can see as far as Indonesia and Malaysia.

At 165m high, the Singapore Flyer is (or maybe was) the world's largest observation wheel.

There are 28 capsules about the size of a small bus and each of them can take a maximum of 28 people.

We went in the morning of a weekday and were lucky enough to have the whole capsule to ourselves.

You can see the progress of construction of the new Integrated Resort , the CBD, Marina Bay area and the Benjamin Sheares Bridge.

The 30 min ride normally costs S$29.50 but I was able to get a 15% corporate discount through the very helpful imstress.

There's also a wide range of shops, restaurants, facilities and other activities nearby.

Singapore flyer is the best place to take a bird’s eye view of Singapore. It gives you a panoramic view of the city. Formula 1 track passes by Singapore flyer. It gives a breath taking view of the huge skyscrapers, Marina Bay, Floating Theatre, Esplanade Garden, ships sailing in the sea, city skyline, etc.

You also get a lot of information about the Singapore through the radio provided to you while entering the flyer. Beneath the giant wheel of the flyer is the eco park. They have created a forest. Pond inside the park has lots of colorful fishes and turtles. You can also pick-up some souvenirs from the boutiques in the complex.
