I am someone who enjoys sight-seeing, be it in Singapore or overseas. With the official opening of the Flyer on 1 March 2008, I went there almost immediately. I've been there three times now, and really enjoy the experience of having the bird's eye view of Singapore. If I have to introduce a place to visit in Singapore to a tourist, it will definitely be the Singapore Flyer.

From a young boy to my teenage years, I have been to this Zoo about 6 times and never failed to enjoy myself each time because of the exciting animal performances. In the Zoo itself, there is many special attractions such as the Children's World, which is also my favorite as a child. It allows children to have hands on experience with different types of animals and also, to ride a pony. I recommend visiting the Zoo during the animals feeding time as that is the time when they are most active, and if you're lucky enough, you might even get the chance to feed the animals.
