Singapore Flyer - World largest observational wheel!


Standing at 165 meters in height, Singapore Flyer is the World's largest observation wheel that offers a breathtaking view of Singapore. The Flyer is located on the southeast tip of Marina Centre reclaimed land and has 28 air-conditioned capsules, each being able to take 28 people. Built over a three-story terminal building with shops, bars and restaurants, ticket holders are permitted to roam about the retail terminal only to show up at the gate 30 minutes before their ride so as to avoid long lines. Its opening hours is from 8:30am to 10:30pm, and the ticket price is S$29.50 for one adult.

Video found on youtube about the Singapore Flyer


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.

Rather then cooping the animals in cages or jailed enclosure, Singapore Zoological Gardens uses barriers that are camouflaged behind natural environment such as waterfalls and vegetation to create an open and natural atmosphere. For information on how to get there, click here.

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.
