About
At 165 metres tall, Singapore Flyer is a masterpiece of urban architecture and engineering that showcases not only the mesmerizing cosmopolitan cityscape of the tropical Lion City, but even the surrounding islands of Indonesia and parts of Malaysia in all their glory. In addition to offering panoramic views of Singapore's cosmopolitan cityscape, guests can also indulge in a flute of champagne, or savour the iconic Singapore Sling whilst hosted in a special themed capsule. Diners seeking both privacy and luxury can opt for a multi-sensory treat unlike any other with our Premium Sky Dining Flight, complete with a four-course dinner and an in-flight host.

Flew Singapore airline long haul, 2 flights. Would not fly with them again. Given 2 meals 9 hours apart but nothing offered in between. No beverages, snacks or alcoholic drinks. Given the odd glass of water but otherwise they couldn’t be bothered. Obviously business treated better. Felt like a second class waste of space. Very upset with my experience plus my ticket cost a fortune. Never again!

Lovely views as you slowly move up. A great experience. We didn’t have to wait much to get in, and the cabin was very comfortable too.

The Singapore Flyer is a good attraction and is probably worth going if you have nothing else to do. Lines were very short to non-existent.
While I found the views to be good, I think it's hard to compete with similar offerings from other tall structures nearby. The window panels weren't particularly clear either, so taking clear pictures was challenging.
The nearby shopping area is pretty depressing. Almost all the shops are closed and the observation wheel is itself only open from 3pm on the day I went. The food court is closed as I assume there isn't enough business.
I found the prices to be abnormally high. Over $30 per person for a 30min ride in a shared cabin. When compared to the Marina Bay Sands observation deck, this is a complete rip off.
You'd really only go if you want to take a picture of the Marina Bay Sands, since you obviously can't do that if you're on the MBS observation deck.

The Singapore Flyer certainly put the London Eye to shame. Only a clear day, views of Singapore can be admired as well as the neighbouring islands. Informative staff and facts given over the in pod speakers.
Due to covid, pods are not at maximum capacity. It appeared that families were allowed their own pods but pairs or singular travellers were grouped together, this didn’t bother us as the pods themselves are so spacious. As with many locations, they are very strict with masks - so much so they even stopped the ride as one family took theirs off. Be aware to follow the rules as they have cameras too and will make announcements.
Views of the Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Sands and city skyline can be easily seen and snapped. The Formula 1 Marina Bay Sands track is directly below and you can see the starting line from above. Alternatively, you can exit the attraction and walk onto the track below for free.
This attraction is a must see for any tourist; also, if you’re visiting the Ducktours attraction, you can buy discounted Flyer tickets at their Suntec mall desk.

If you want a capsule to yourself and fancy a Singapore Sling, then pay the money. We went at night which was worth it.

Travel and food are my best interest

It's only the flyer and a food court that charges obviously high. It's exceptionally high priced. Not even worth to go for the food. The place is kinda of deserted and no longer worth visiting. A total waste of time and effort.

We had an entire pod to ourselves ( foursome) and absolutely loved the views and the experience. Not sure if we’d do the Tome Capsule though!

A good experience that allows you to see the city in 360, it lasts about 30 minutes and is very comfortable, you can take very good photos and videos during the tour, I recommend it for all those who would like to see the city from all points of view.

The flyer itself is a must-visit and should not be missed however the lines can be long. We were lucky as we had to endure max of 10 minutes of waiting on a very lean evening.
The time capsule can be absolutely missed. It was just fancy colored screens that tried their level best to convey the history of Singapore but they simply were not enough to hold my attention (FYUI - I am a person who likes history).
Total rise takes 30 minutes.
Night time is a good time to go and appreciate the landscape.

Is bringing an infant (1 year old) advisable?

Hi, with the infant I assume you will be carrying anyway. The capsules are quite big and there are seats inside. So shouldn’t be a problem.
Sometimes the capsules are almost empty, but even if it is busy the attendants are very good anyway and limit the number of people per capsule, usually no more than 10 pax if not only 6 or 8.
Just remember the trip takes about 30 minutes.
But we always recommend the flyer to our visitors, it is a good introduction to Singapore’s sights and distant districts.

When is it best to go on the flyer, day time or night time?
Terence C

Day or night. Depends on what you want to see. Great views of city and area during day. But view of city at night is excellent as well.
We were up when we could see some storms far off in horizon so it was cool.

I will be visiting Singapore solo and would like to ride the Flyer. As a solo rider, should I expect to share the cabin with others, or do they allow solo travelers their own cabin? Planning to go around sunset or just after sunset on a weeknight. Thanks!

I agree with the other respondents, if you want to travel alone then I would recommend early in the morning just after opening as the place is very quiet at that time. I went at that time and my partner and I were the only ones there so we had no one in the car with us, the wheel is constantly moving so they can't wait for others to come along.
The busiest time for the Singapore Flyer is just before and after sunset, as people want to see the sun go down and the lights come on all around the Marina Sands Bay area, which has some spectacular lighting, along with all the business district high rises makes for some stunning vista's, which is why it is so busy at this time.

Hello Guys! I would like to take my mom and dad in the Singapore flyer this coming July. Is 6:30 pm a good time for a Singapore Experiemce Flyer? Thank you very much!

I think anytime is a great time to ride. Have done day and evening. If you time it right you can see the light shows at gardens by the Bay and in Marina Bay by Marina Bay Sands. Buy tickets online in advance and miss the lines at ticket booth. Lighter crowds Monday through Thursday.
