Singapore Flyer

Meet the world’s largest Giant Observation Wheel – the Singapore Flyer. It is a one-of-a-kind experience in Asia. Built over a three-story terminal building, Singapore Flyer is 150 metres in diameter, 165 metres in height and travels at 0.21m per second. Each of its 28 city-bus-sized air-conditioned capsules can carry up to 28 passengers and a complete rotation of the wheel takes approximately 30 minutes.

The panoramic views from the top are impressive – passengers can see the Singapore River, Raffles Place, Merlion Park, Empress Place and even a glimpse of neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia. But there's more to the Singapore Flyer: experience many of its fine-dining locations, fun shopping opportunities and lifestyle venues including the Seafood Paradise @ Flyer (famous for its chili crab, butter crab, cereal prawns and drunken prawns) and a fish 'foot spa' where imported ‘garra rufa’ turkey fish 'pedicure' your feet.
