- AngelikaMelbourne, Australia299 contributionsSpectular ViewsThe Singapore Flyer is a fantastic way to see the Singapore Marina Bay in its entirety. The flyer moves in a very slow and calming manner. The entire experience is 30 minutes. The best time would be around 7:15/7:30 just as the sun is setting.Visited April 2023Written 9 April 2023
- Sherpa1921862 contributionsGreat views and hopefully you can time it right!Great place to take in all the amazing views Singapore has to offer. We went at sundown around 6:30 PM which was great because we then caught the end of daylight and the beginning of sunset which made for great pictures and an every better view. Be aware that there are self service kiosks to buy tickets around the corner in case there is a long line at the ticket counter. One thing we really appreciated was that they did not fill the capsule. There were less than 10 of us giving us all more than sufficient space to move around and take pics without being in each other's way.Visited April 2023Written 9 April 2023
- sshoboken45 contributionsStandard Ferris Wheel type viewing of the cityGood touristy experience getting a great view of Singapore. Line was only 5 minutes long at opening time. Plenty of room and time to take pictures, either standing up or sitting on the benches in each pod. Would have been nice if there had been an audio tour or some description of what one was looking at other than a few signs.Visited April 2023Written 12 April 2023
- Arthur ChanHong Kong, China143 contributionsComfortable rideGood to go in the afternoon as the queue is not too long and just about 10 minutes wait before getting into the coach, think around 10 people within the coach which could fit 28 in, so not so crowded and quite comfortable. Though it stated that it is equal to 42 storey high, it cannot view as far as it said. Mainly focus on Marina Bay and hardly see Sentosa, it is the only disappointment.Visited April 2023Travelled soloWritten 6 May 2023
- Ryan G7 contributionsSingapore Sling Ride, Great ExperienceEnjoyed the ride. Singapore Sling Ride gets you into the lounge area which has a nice patio for picture taking while you wait. You are given your drink as you enter and have some snacks nuts as well. Nice spacious cart, music plays, 30minutes. We went on a Wednesday and had the cart to ourselves.Visited June 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 20 June 2023
- Vaidehi15Mumbai, India309 contributionsSingapore fromTopFlyer allows us to enjoy the complete view from height. I personally feel we should do this or Sand Bay as both have same view. This place is open from 2 pm onwards till 9.30 pm & tickets will cost u around 2500 per person. The Single round takes approx 30min, thus u can book your slot accordingly. The best time to go is weekdays to avoid rush & Que.Visited June 2023Written 28 June 2023
- Protocol71Thailand30 contributionsVery good experience.The Flyer was actually temporarily shut due to the bad weather. Which shows concern and safety. The staff were polite and communicated well. They explained well about the shut down. The wheel was great, clean and well managed. The staff even had a decent conversation with me and told me about the different types of capsules. Very nice.Visited July 2023Written 16 July 2023
- Abhay MehtaUdaipur, India235 contributionsWow experience with 360-degree viewWe booked the tickets in the evening and experienced both day and night view. I also suggest the same for you, can go for musical fountain in Marina Bay after the ride. The capsule is smooth and moves slowly to reach top. It's an amazing experience to dine in by booking the food/ table if you can afford.Visited August 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 28 July 2023
- thejoyceejoySydney, Australia15 contributionsHistory and a View!We did the Time Capsule and then headed to the Flyer. The time capsule is about the history of Singapore. It is very informative and educational. The observational wheel lives up to its name and gives you a great view of the city. Would definitely recommend.Visited July 2023Written 15 August 2023
- ParomitaKolkata (Calcutta), India11 contributionsSee Singapore from high aboveOne of the best ways to see a city is from the top and the Flyer offers just that. Take your pick between a day flight and a night flight. We took a day flight and absolutely loved spotting the sights of Singapore from high above. Plan for a week day trip to beat the queues.Visited September 2022Written 19 August 2023

Great views from the 165m wheel. Very well presented exhibition prior to entering the capsule on the wheel itself. It was a little hot inside the capsule, with only us (a couple) and a family of 4. Possibly uncomfortable if your capsule is full.

Great experince except the photos, pay the $75 to get 2 photos and "access" to digital copies. However that will not happen no matter what you try.
This ruined the whole experince but at least told them to do one at Jewel in Changi Airport as they all the same

We took the MRT here, get off at Promenade Station , orange or blue lines connect here.. easy walk to the Flyer from this station.
We simply bought tickets here, no line ups. Took about 45 minutes to do the pre walking exhibit and the ride..
The wheel experience is a half hour and what an amazing view. Our 5 year old grand daughter loved it!
Great way to see all of Singapore, the harbour, Marina Bay and Gardens by the Bay .
Well worth the trip here!

Enjoyed the ride but found the time capsule disappointing. A pity they didn’t spend less on the glitz and more on interesting historical content. Suggest that you miss the time capsule and go straight to the ride.

Crowded, overhyped, overrated - yet another soulless push for random tourist dollars. Cabins were hot and stuffy in the Singapore heat.

We expected to only be going on the ferris wheel but there is a whole digital world you get to explore before going on the Flyer itself. While exploring the digital world, you get a lot of cool info about the history of Singapore as a city and the people with all their different cultures living there - super cool!
The Flyer itself is amazing as well; when we were there, they only led a max of 8 people in the capsules, so you had plenty of space to walk around and take photos while it was in motion. The views from up there are amazing - if I come back, I will definitely do this again!

Views were fabulous, it definitely was a great way to get a different perspective.
Commentary could be a bit louder, we had some people in our pod who were talking on the phone. When we could hear the commentary it was very informative.

The views were amazing you get to see all the city, bay area, Marina Bay Hotel and the gardens, worth the money just for the view and plenty of time to enjoy the ride.

My wife and I did the Singapore Flyer on a cruise ship excursion in December 2023. We didn't spend much time in the various Time Capsule 'pre-show' areas as we had a tight timetable, but we had a wonderful time on the wheel itself.
It's currently the third biggest wheel in the world (behind Dubai and Las Vegas) and the Flyer has 28 pods that each can carry 28 people. Our group were split over several capsules so we only had 8 per pod, which meant we had plenty of space to walk around and take photos / video of the amazing views.
The wheel is located close to the Marina Bay area so you get some great views of the business district of the city. One revolution takes approximately 30 minutes, so plenty of time to take your pictures and enjoy the ride. It felt very safe. There are also capsules that offer dining / butler service...no idea how much that costs.
The Flyer was a great way to get shots over the Gardens by the Bay and the Singapore skyline. Well worth doing. There's also a shop at the base of the wheel - we stopped there and picked up a magnet to take home.

Hi! I was wondering if they actually ask for the physical card when you go. This is I do not have my physical card, and I am worried that I cannot visit. They only say to bring the physical card AFTER payment.

Hi! I just booked a tour on the exciting Singapore Flyer! However, only after the booking they state that you need the physical card. I do not have one as I used a Revolut virtual card for safety purposes. What can I do please? I spent 55 Euros so I really want to go. Did this ever happen to anyone? Thanks!

I havent been asked for the card whenever I have gone to the ticket barrier.
Also Revolut is a virtual card but it has a presence in an app, doesn't it?
If so you have the physical means of showing them the account/card etc that paid for the ticket because while virtual that account presented on the app is the card and its source.

Is bringing an infant (1 year old) advisable?
David B

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.
