Singapore Flyer

Took the flyer as part of a Regent Seven Seas Excursion. We were a group of 11, and there was enough space for 4-5 to sit. While others stood admiring the views and taking photos. Out guide helped explain what we were seeing. Once you reach the top and onwards, you get a wonderful view of the modern skyline of the financial district, and the bay in front. The ride takes around 30 minutes.

Make sure you include this on things to see and do in Singapore. Great for whole family. No need to buy priority ticket if you get there early in the day. Takes 30 minutes to do the ride. Highly recommend.

Wow, wow, wow - Amazing experience!! Royce was out pilot instructor and he was so balanced; professional and fun. He was informative, Clear and concise in his directions but encouraged relaxed fun and cool airport experiences to take off and land. He was very personable and spent time talking with us afterwards. We met the owners who were equally engaging. There is a shop to buy souvenirs but these are no put in a drawer or throw-aways. There's a wide variety of quality and useful products. Highly recommend this and their VR fighter jet experience (different locations).

The Singapore Flyer at night is a really nice experience. Seeing the city lights from above is calm and impressive, and the whole ride feels smooth and well organized. It wasn’t very busy when we went, so we had a cabin all to ourselves, which made the experience even more enjoyable and relaxed. The capsules are spacious and clean, giving you plenty of room to move around and take photos. While it’s not an adrenaline-filled attraction, it’s a peaceful way to enjoy Singapore from a different perspective. A solid night-time experience and definitely worth doing at least once.

My family and I visited the Singapore Flyer two weeks ago on a Friday and were so happy to find that there was absolutely no queue, what a superb start! Before the ride itself, we went through the Time Capsule, the new immersive preflight experience, and the kids absolutely loved it! It's a wonderful, visual walkthrough with interactive exhibits and a beautiful overview of Singapore's history. It really sets the stage for the ride. We were also lucky enough to get the entire capsule to ourselves, which the children thought was the coolest thing. The experience of seeing the stunning Singapore skyline from up high in a private setting was truly memorable. It's an incredible attraction and a strongly recommended activity for families.

We rode the Singapore Flyer at the beginning of the New Year. It wasn’t crowded at all, and there was no queue since we had bought our tickets in advance. Before the ride, visitors watch a short film about the history of Singapore. It's very engaging and interesting for both children and adults, and it adds a nice context to the experience. The organization was excellent, we were placed in a private capsule, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The views are absolutely stunning, especially considering this is one of the tallest observation wheels in the world. A full rotation takes about 30 minutes, giving you plenty of time to take in the scenery and enjoy the ride. It is a bit pricey, but that’s quite typical for Singapore. Definitely worth the experience.

Fantatic time in Flyer Time Capsule. Its perfect for all age group and ratate very easy and slow. It take around 30 minites to complete full cycle which gives you best view of Singapore from all direction. Loved It 😍

Singapore Flyer is a must-visit attraction. The 360-degree view of the city is stunning, the ride is smooth, and the cabins are spacious and clean. A great way to see Singapore from above. Highly recommended!

Absolutely stunning the history tour before you board was amazing to the actual wheel I can't stop thinking about it.

Does give you a decent view of the city. It's a short ride and path, but it's an interesting vantage point. It's something to do if you are by the Gardens By The Bay. I think it would be more fantastic if it spanned over the city for longer and more fruitful view of the city. It was cool to see the Marina bay sands building up a bit closer and to see the soccer field right on the water at least.

"Come let's go right away cause tomorrow is here today" - NDP 2016. The last four words of these lyrics are also my undergrad grad cap. Little did I know my mental health would decline after finishing undergrad but that did stop me to Singapore from the US. The Singapore flyer is for those who couldn't afford to make it to London and live in Asia. Being a Singapore local from the East side, this is a pretty generic tourist location but the view of the city is really gorgeous. Like other observation wheels this thing moves very slow so you can get a 360 view of the places around you. It's also a very cool ride. If you come here at night, the ferris wheel lights up as with the buildings around you. To all you travelers out there, I suggest you come here at night because everything looks gorgeous. https://youtu.be/FYwIMe-_F6s

Purchased a voucher from Klook. Very easy redeem, just show your voucher from your phone. I purchased a voucher that gets you the Singapore Flyer ride with the Buffet from Bhandari's Saffron Restaurant. No queue at the time for my group of 3. Stop by the restaurant first to get your Singapore Flyer tickets. Youd be asked if you want to have the Buffett before or after the ride and we chose the latter. The experience was exhilarating! This is part of my 'must try list" for my fellow tourists! Great view of the city from the very sturdy and air conditioned capsule! This is something you should not miss!

I had such high hopes for the Singapore Flyer. I love Ferris wheels. If a city has a huge Ferris wheel, it is probably on my list to do. I think I had high expectations since it does give you a birds eye view of Singapore. However, after seeing the view at a neighboring building, it just pales in comparison. Also, the capsule glass in which I rode in was dirty. I think if I rode the Singapore Flyer first to see the Singapore skyline before going to another location to view the skyline, I may have a different opinion on this. What is cool about the Singapore Flyer is that they offer a dinner ride and a ride with champagne or a Singapore Sling. If you ride the Singapore Flyer after observing the view from another location, I would suggest the ride with the drinks.

It was very cool to be able to go high in the skyline to see the magnificent sights of Singapore! You get an amazing view of this modern city and the Harbour that makes business boom around here. The tour lasts about 30 minutes and gives you views of everything, along with some great information of the city and tours that are offered. The biggest downside to this tour is the price. It is pretty expensive, we paid 120SPD for 3 adults and 1 child to tour it. I know this is an expensive city, and it costs lots of money to vacation here, so just be expecting a large bill to take the ride. On a clear day the views are spectacular

My son loved the Singapore Flyer. We went as part of the Changi Recommends tour. It had been raining on and off but was only sprinkling on and off during our tour. We were fortunate as this meant that we could ride the Flyer. The tour guide got our tickets while we relaxed after our walk there. Because of the rain there were not as many people waiting to ride. There was a wedding party and it was cute to see the couple so happy. We were fortunate that they allowed our tour party of 6 a car to ourselves. Looking out we could see many of the attractions of Singapore and out towards the ocean. When we got to the top we could look all around us as the view was not obstructed by any buildings. Would ride again as it was fun and a smooth ride. Might not be as fun if it was crowded but great first experience on the Flyer.

Honestly been to a bunch of these around the world and the one thing that sets this apart is the food underneath it. Also the fact that they built the entire food court and small fish pond right underneath. Which to my experience I've never seen before. So the engineering aspect is crazy cool. Besides the gardens view and the bay, same experience. Spend time with friends and family is what it's all about.

I had a different kind of experience on the Flyer, I had dinner in one of the capsules. This was a very neat dinner with spectacular views! The dinner was great and it was interesting how the staff changed courses...they're very fast when bringing food into the capsule! It was a nice ambiance and there were only four tables (8 people total). This is the perfect date setting!

I was surprised at how little people go here. There was no line for tickets, no line to get into the capsule, and we had the whole capsule for ourselves. Considering it's the tallest ferris wheel ever, the capsule is big and can probably hold a decent amount of people. However, perhaps so little people go here is because there really isn't much of a nice view to be seen during the day. One side looks off into the bay and the other the city skyline. It's also expensive, even though I found a coupon in one of the tourist maps.

I happened to befriend a few Americans at one of the speakeasies here in town. One recommended the Singapore Flyer. At first, I wasn't keen on doing it because it's super touristy. I've been here to Singapore multiple times and this attraction was never was on my radar. But you know what? It was really nice. I like that ANYONE can ride this, young or old. There are no height or age limitations. It goes so slow that you don't even feel it moving, yet you get a gorgeous view of the city. Even if you are afraid of heights, don't be. It's a great attraction. I didn't realize how nice the Singapore skyline is. It can actually rival a few cities. Singapore, you continue to be a favorite (and this was WAYYYY before Crazy Rich Asians).

If you want a nice and stable aerial view of the city of Singapore, make a short trek to the Flyer. It's a bit pricey for the tourist attraction, but it's worth the trip, especially when the day is nice and clear. Getting to the flyer is fairly easy. Just follow the pedestrian signs when getting off the MRT and it is roughly a 10-15 min walk to the flyer. For the flyer itself, it resembles a huge Ferris wheel, with little futuristic pods that you could stand / sit inside. If you're a high roller or want to treat someone on a special date, there are different pods where you can ride the flyer in style and have a fancy lunch or dinner inside. For the regular pods, it can hold up to at least 8+ people. Once inside the pod, it is around a 30min ride. The ride itself is fairly pleasant, stable and smooth. If you have motion sickness or anything, fear not! A friend of mine has severe motion sickness, but she was fine throughout the Flyer experience without having to take any medications for it. Most of the time, you forget that the wheel is moving due to the pretty sights. I highly suggest having enough battery juice for your phone for pictures and such! You can travel around your pod and take pictures at multiple angles as you desire and if you're tired of standing, there is a nice bench that you can sit and relax. Overall, this was a pretty interesting experience and I would recommend it to any first time visitors to Singapore. If you want more of an interactive experience that includes an aerial view, I would suggest checking out the cable car vs the flyer since there is more to see / do!

So I did the touristy thing and did the Singapore Flyer. But I upgraded and did the VIP package which came with your choice of champagne or a Singapore Sling. The good news is that there is no line when you do the package. But the bad news is that you have to wait for your designated time slot since the VIP pod only occurs on certain times. You also get to hang out in the lounge, air conditioned of course and order drinks too if you're waiting to board. Nice views, and it was a good 30 minute or so ride.

Wow, the Singapore Flyer offers an incredible unobstructed view of Singapore. It is definitely worth every penny. You can't find a view like this anywhere else. Enclosed in the clear capsule, you can look around and see pretty much all the major sights of Singapore: Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, the Supertrees, the DNA Helix Bridge and much more. Give this a try next time you're in Singapore. You won't regret it. Side note: you can also have dinner in the flyer, so that is a cool experience worth looking in to if you are considering this attraction.

This is just a review to say how amazing this looks. It's great to see it in person. Wow! It's just so big. I cannot tell you anything about riding it however because the government had it shut down due to Coronavirus scare while I was there. So my rating isn't to say it is bad or good...because I only got to see it from a distance "so-to-speak." I will tell you I was sad to find it closed when I got there but like my husband said if you have been on one ferris wheel you have been on them all. He's not wrong, I suppose. I was looking forward to seeing the view from the top. I will be back to try it after all of the craziness settles down. Side note: it lights up in the evening and looks phenominal.

Visiting the Singapore Flyer is an absolute must do while in Singapore! I personally recommend going right at sunset. The lines are gone and chances are you will have the entire capsule to yourself. Going at sunset gave such a gorgeous view of the city. As we crested the top of the wheel, the sun went down and the city lit up. I have nothing but positive things to say about visiting the Singapore Flyer. The staff is very friendly. Walking to the flier (through the line) is also interesting. They have turned the queue area into a museum almost. There are fun facts about the Singapore Flyer to be found in addition to some interactive activities.

Is it worth it? Depends on what you're looking for. I think the Flyer is a good option if you hate wind and don't like going to open air rooftops like the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark or 1-Altitude. It's also a good alternative if you have kids and can't bring them to a fancy rooftop bar late at night. Important things to note: - The flight is unguided. If you're just interested in taking pictures, it's good, but if you're looking to learn more about your surroundings, it's not going to cut it. - This is NOT the best place if you want a good photo of Marina Bay Sands. You only see the side of it, not a... full frontal shot, if you will! For the first 15 minutes, you'll get good views of the National Stadium, Marina Bay Golf Course, Gardens By The Bay, Marina Barrage, and on a really good day, you could see Indonesia. The last 15 minutes is best to focus on Gardens By The Bay (again), ArtScience Museum, the city skyline, The Float at Marina Bay, Helix Bridge, and Esplanade Theatres on the Bay. Believe it or not, what could bring more local foot traffic to the Flyer is their venue space. It's worth looking into if you're an event planner with a good budget.

Overlooking Kallang River is a 360 degree slow moving enclosed giant ferris wheel where a panorama view of Singapore is twenty minutes for SGD $30.00. Tourist trap indeed but I thought it was fair to middlin' and a keepsake triangle shape "In-Flight Compass" unfolds to become a circular panorama map is included... big woo. The circular panorama map of Singapore is, however, a nice keepsake souvenir. From my 2010 Singaporean adventure there is a audio guide for various languages to describe the various scenes which is also included. Seats are readily available for those who fear heights. Private parties are available which includes dinner and drinks atop of Earth's giant observation ferris wheel. Not worth SGD $30.00 for the hike atop a giant ferris wheel when there are iconic places actually worth physically going rather than viewing from above. This experience only feeds the illusion not the reality of being at a point of interest when one can actually be there. Supposedly, Singapore Flyer carries the claim as the "largest observation ferris wheel" ... big woo.

The tallest Ferris wheel in the world, even higher than the London Eye! Although a much-anticipated part of our Singapore vacation, the actual experience was a bit underwhelming. The Ferris wheel moves so slowly that it started to get boring after a while. They packed so many of us into each cabin that not everyone had a place to sit. Yes, there were gorgeous views of the cityscape along the bay, but the windows were so dirty and full of handprints that any attempts at photos were pretty much foiled by smudges on the glass. We did enjoy the Historic Food Trail afterwards for Hainanese chicken rice, oyster omelet, and a snow ball that was akin to ice kacang. The oyster omelet was way too oily, but the other two dishes were pretty good.

Tourist trap or not, the Singapore Flyer is a great way to catch some nice views of Singapore! I got here in the morning and it was not crowded! Before getting to the wheel, you can spend a few minutes in the museum like room to check out some videos and attractions they have on display! Line was short and I was able to score my own capsule, YESSS!!! The capsules are air conditioned so they are comfortable and very easy to move around! Each angle was a postcard worthy portrait waiting to happen! You can spot many of Singapore's iconic attractions as well! Just a fun fact, the Singapore Flyer is the biggest observation wheel in the world (Yes it's supposedly bigger than the London Eye.) The whole ride takes about thirty minutes and I thought it was worth the time, specially if you're in the city for just a few days! Overall great views during the day, I wish I had the chance to see the city light up at night from above! Book your ticket online so you can go any time of the day instead of having to wait for a specific hour when you purchase the ticket on site! Solid 4 STARS!

the Singapore Flyer is said to beat the London Eye, i've been on both now and i don't think either of them is amazing but a big tourist trap YES you get nice views of the city if you book a NIGHT time "flight" but honestly not worth the price if you can get the views elsewhere... it takes only a few minutes to get bored of the Singapore Flyer & it was kind of awkward to be stuck in that chamber with another random couple we went w/ the "Singapore Sling" flight which gets you a ride, a free cocktail, & a souvenir champagne flute NOTE: we booked online and saved 10% off the tickets using a Visa/Mastercard

In Singapore it's all about the views. The Singapore Flyer stands 165m high and is Asia's largest giant observation wheel. It takes 30 minutes for a full rotation, and each capsule has a 28-person capacity. The ride is incredibly smooth, you don't feel a thing. The views are good, but after being at the top of multiple buildings in Singapore with breath taking views this experience for 33 Singaporean dollars was OK.

I loved the Singapore Flyer! There was a small line, but it moved very quickly. We shared our pod with about eight other people, which I didn't mind because we were able to take pictures for each other. The ride is very smooth and slow. We went at night and had a beautiful view of Singapore all lit up. I know you can get good views on the buildings, but I'm glad we did the flyer. We really enjoyed it.

The view alone at night is worth it!! The staff really take care of you! The dinner was ok, but the view made up for it. The soup was a little salty, and the desert could have been better, but the main was great. I would highly recommend the dinner experience!!

I am BAFFLED by the many mediocre reviews I see for the Flyer. It's clearly the consequence of people thinking it too expensive (currently S$33 for a 30-40 minute spin). No, it is not cheap. If you find yourself staring at the Singapore skyline and you say, "That's just a Ferris wheel over there", then don't bother. If all you want is a good view of the harbor, you shouldn't bother. If you want a thrill ride or if you want to feel the cars jiggle as you turn, you definitely shouldn't bother. But if you walk up to this thing and are awed by the size and beauty and engineering of it (or the romance of it), then the price won't matter. When the original Ferris wheel dropped jaws in 1893 Chicago, it was more than four times smaller than this marvel. It's no longer the largest in the world (9 feet shorter than the new one in Las Vegas), but it's still amazing. For my entire ride, I was torn between enjoying the view and watching the giant wheel turn and the cables bend. It's also a thing of beauty on the skyline, especially at night. I am not a Ferris wheel aficionado (although I grew up in Pittsburgh, where the original was invented), so I can't speak to how this wheel compares with the other big ones built in the last couple decades. But I will say that I would recommend skipping the dining packages. We did 'High Tea' and while the finger sandwiches and drink options were fine, they did pretty much nothing to enhance the experience. The wheel itself was a good enough draw on its own.

Charges way too much for a ride that is lacking. There are far better views of the city on the top of Marina Bay Sands. Takes a while to get to a point where pictures are worthwhile and then you have to snap photos through scratched and glaring glass. You'll get fatigued on the way down, waiting for it to be over. The whole area around it feels like it's trying too hard to be a western carnival and forgets traditional and authentic Singapore. The only reason to come is to take pictures of the flyer itself.

Really great experience. I don't recommend taking young kids on the Flyer as it is rather slow and the view stays relatively the same throughout the "journey". Before you get in the capsule, there's a pre-boarding exhibit that shows you the parts of the wheel, how it was built, and its history. It was kind of neat, like the interactive displays you would have while waiting in the line for a ride at Disney. The capsules are very large, and they don't try to uncomfortably squeeze a lot of people into one because there are plenty of capsules to go around. Unfortunately there was a very antsy and impatient child in my capsule who was just yelling and running around and begging to get out the entire time. So going back to my first warning, don't bring small, energetic kids in the Flyer. We went at an ideal time, getting into the capsule at about 7:00 pm. On the way up, it was still light enough to take pictures, and on the way down we could see the city begin to light up as the sky grew dark. I took a time lapse video using that feature on the iPhone 6, and I can't stop watching it again and again. 15 minutes of filming turned into a 30 second video. It's incredible to see the sky grow dark but the Marina Bay grow alive! My only complaint is the price. While the experience was great, it is wayyyyy overpriced. $33???? Crazy if you ask me. It really should only be $15 tops. If you don't want to spend that kind of money, you can always go to the Sands Skypark, or go to other attractions like Gardens by the Bay (absolutely incredible) or the Natural History Museum (also very impressive). The highly underrated National Museum of Singapore is also very much worth a visit.

Timed our ride so that we got to the top just as the sun was starting to set, so that is the only thing that made it worth the price in my book. I was happy to get the half price ticket available for students. While it doesn't have the best views of Singapore, it does offer pretty darn good views 360 degrees, so it does make a good photo op. The 30 minute trip felt about 20 minutes too long, though, especially with a handful of small children running around and complaining. I was afraid of stepping on a child every time I turned around. There are some cool things that happen sometimes in the special modules, I'm not sure how much they cost though - I'd imagine they are pricy. The museum type are you walk through before getting onto the flyer is neat. I enjoyed reading about its construction, but I'm pretty nerdy about that type of stuff. I spent half the ride looking towards the center of the wheel admiring the mechanics of the attraction. It definitely is a one time attraction however, not something I would do again.

Brought a friend from NYC here on a Friday night - queue time was alright, though there was too much of an interference from the staff and annoying tourist festivities like photobooth pictures and a long row of exhibitions before actually getting to the ride (in hindsight, a pretty smart idea to keep people entertained and getting the most for their $30 ride and to buy time for the queue), and when we got INTO the ride, it was alright. A really good view of the ever changing Marina Bay/Marina South construction and the skyline of the CBD, but a 30 minute ride is too long - even the tourists were bored after the first 20... but nonetheless, a pretty good once-in-a-lifetime experience (just to say you'd done it and strike it off your list).

Such a great experience! Super glad I made this last minute attraction stop. Beautiful views!

Similar to the London Eye. You get great views of Singapore, in the comfort of air conditioned capsule. Most of the capsules had 10 or fewer people, allowing you to easily move around and adjust your location to get the best pictures/views. We did this during the day, but would have preferred to have done it at night. Unlike the London Eye, the Flyer actually had a small museum that you walk through, on your way up to the that actual loading platform, a nice addition. As others have mentioned, the price is expensive, but everything in Singapore is expensive, minus some of the food malls.

Youtube Highlights Video : https://youtu.be/AS-VZa63WLU Context: We had an $8 pass from Singapore Airlines for the hop on, hop off tour bus which is a great deal by the way! I went to the flyer by myself because parents didn't want to go Tickets: $33 (I know, right!). Pricey in my opinion, but I was thinking, why not! Get in line (which is super short) right at the entrance Flyer: So you walk up the escalator and through this small building with some cool facts and information about the flyer, some cool installations but nothing major WOW factor. They lead you into the flyer, and it's a super nice view and I got some super cool shots! The flyer goes by super slow which is cool, and I think the best part is when you get a view of the flyer and the skyline! Overall: It was a cool experience, however, it's really pricey!

Although I've been to the Singapore Flyer a couple of times, I always find it a little inconvenient. Since the Circle Line opened, the nearest station is the Promenade station. Even so, you will have to walk quite a bit under the sun. That aside, the flyer stands at 165m, and is the world's largest giant observation wheel. A half-hour ride will cost an adult $29.50. At mid-point, that is where you can enjoy the panoramic view of the Singapore skyline as well as bits of neighbouring countries Indonesia and Malaysia. Before you know it, you would have finished the ride. The 30 minute actually seemed a little short. However, this is not a place I would visit often because there aren't any exciting happenings or new addition; it is just a plain ride on the observation wheel. It would be special though, if you have to luxury to splurge on holding an event or a romantic dinner on the wheel.

Do I want to pay 30 bucks for a twenty-minute ride in a giant ferris wheel? No way, but as a student I get to go in for fifteen! But still, I've never actually rode the flyer. It just seems so pointless to me. Maybe someday I'll actually try it out, but I'll need a really good reason to do so. That said, there's no other place for tourists who want to get a good bird's eye view of Singapore to go. On special occasions such as Valentine's Day, there are also special packages such as classy meals in the capsules. But I do visit the place occasionally for the restaurants at the first level, such as O'Learys Bar & Grill which serves up good food and beer.

We checked out the Singapore Flyer as part of the F1 Grand Prix race pass that we got and we arrived 15 minutes before closing so there was only 4-5 people waiting in line. I don't really quite understand the sudden world fascination with giant ferris wheels (London, Orlando, etc) but since it was included, we gave it a try. At night, it does offer some spectacular views of Singapore. If you plan to take pictures inside of the pod at night might make it a little tricky for a good picture to develop without a really good lens and maybe a tripod though. The whole ride lasted about 30 minutes and maybe something nice to do if you're vacationing with kids.

I really like observation wheels. I loved the London Eye and the Vegas Highroller is okay. The Singapore Flyer was definitely on the top of my list and we picked the perfect time to visit. There was virtually no line at the ticket office and the staff were really helpful and nice. We got on just before sunset and were the only people in the pod aside from a couple of other tourists. The view of the Bay and the city is really nice, especially when you get to watch the sunset along with it. We had a really great time and took some fun photos.

It mostly gets 2 stars because of the price. TBH, when we paid nearly $300 plus another $150 for a bottle of wine, I anticipated something spectacular. We rode the flyer before on a regular flight and was expecting a really great date night. For over $450 total, I wasn't wowed and for that kind of money, I expect to be wowed. My wine was good, so we picked well. The view was a 5 star view. Pay the regular ticket price and see it at night. We were told to wait in the Flyer Lounge, so we did. FYI sodas are not included in your $300 tickets so expect to pay $8 for those, $12 for a mocktail and $25 for a cocktail. The cheapest wine is $89. Our flight time was 7:30 p.m., and they made sure to tell us 800 times to use the bathroom, as if we couldn't hold it for an hour because we're clearly 6 year olds on a road trip. At about 7:40, we were immediately RUSHED to the flyer. Like literally all of a sudden it was OK EVERY ONE STAND UP ITS TIME TO GO LETS GO. I was wearing heels so I wasn't wearing proper attire to run a marathon across the flyer building, so as the host ran with the girl in front of us in flats I mosied my way down. I don't understand what the rush was because by the time we got down there, we waited another 10 minutes or so. Then we were RUSHED SUDDENLY to get in our car. On our first rotation we were served some kind of salad with tuna on it, and spinach soup. I watched the butler pull the bread out of a plastic bag. LOL This is where the meal went down hill. The soup tasted watered down from a can. Our second rotation the servers quickly hopped on our car to bring aboard our main course and dessert. My husband ordered lamb and I got chicken. I can't speak for his because I've never had lamb before, but quite honestly, the chicken was low-grade and not great. It wasn't very hot, or even warm in some places. It was rubbery in most places. I was starting to get pretty tired at this point and the weird music wasn't helping. We were then served dessert which tasted like a dark chocolate cake with raspberry sauce. My husband joked that he didn't think it came out of a box. But really, I wouldn't be surprised. The whole point of this was to have an EXCELLENT meal, or I would have just bought a regular ticket, and truthfully, the meal sucked. The views were beautiful and we got to enjoy the comforts of a less crowded car, but don't ever do the meal flight. Please, God, just take the regular one. For your sake.

Launched in 2008, the Singapore Flyer has become another icon on the rich waterfront landscape of Singapore. The Flyer is a big observational Ferris Wheel, very similar to the High Roller in Vegas (which incidentally displaced the Singapore Flyer as the world's tallest Ferris Wheel) If you've already been on an observation Ferris Wheel before, the Flyer is not going to give you the thrills. What the Flyer will give you though is a really good panoramic views of the city. I took the ride late in the evening and it was a treat to see the various landmarks of the Singapore skyline, some of them lit up with pulsing shades of purple and blue. You can see the Marina Bay Sands with its swimming pool on top, the eerie looking super-trees of Gardens by the Bay, colored bulging blobs of the Esplanade and the start-finish line of the Singapore Grand Prix track. As a tourist visiting the city, I would recommend taking the flight once to view the skyline. The ticket might be a bit pricey - S$33 for a regular trip and S$69 for one with a cocktail (there are some reasonable discounts for children and senior citizens), but hey, what better way to explore the skyline of the city! Getting to the Singapore Flyer (like many things in Singapore) is fairly convenient. It's like a 10 min walk from the Promenade Metro station. If you're not in the mood for public transport, there are always plenty of taxis milling about. Unlike the Vegas High Roller, the ride itself is a silent one - no funny video clips, no audio soundtrack explaining how the Flyer was built or introduction to famous Singapore landmarks, which is a bit disappointing for someone who comes to the Flyer to learn more about the city. As a corollary, the Flyer acts as a good date spot. You can reserve a whole "capsule" for yourself and wine and dine with your date while the gently moving wheel offers you panoramic vistas.

Enamoured by all types of ferris wheels, I was elated when I found out about the Singapore Flyer. We bought the basic tickets, thirty minutes for $30.00 SGD. Perhaps I was having high expectations, but I would really save my money and skip out on this. We went on one of the last rides that day, so there weren't too many people in our cabin. The wheel moves very slowly, and there's a bench in the middle of the cabin for seating. There is a nice view overlooking the Marina, but there are these neon lights surrounding the cabin which makes it really hard to take any photos. 30 minutes in the flyer is a bit too long, I had wanted to get off after 15 minutes. It's a good experience, but I don't think it's really worth the $30.00. 1/100; The Yelp 100 Challenge

I recommend the Flyer for visitors who would like to see the best views of Singapore all at once. It wasn't overly touristy compared to other sights I've visited around the world where the gimmicks and merchandise distract from the main attraction. I am glad we had a ride but once is enough, however I have travelled Singapore more times than I can count so I'm sure there would be more awe and wonder for first time visitors, especially at night time.

It's aimed more as a tourist trap but being tourists, we let ourselves be trapped. It's not all that bad, we were lucky enough as we arrived pretty late and near closing time that we got a capsule to ourselves (try getting that at the London Eye) which was a bonus. It's basically a copycat London Eye but bigger. It also has the inflated price to boot. The F1 track was lit up when we there and seeing the outline was pretty cool. Beyond that, it's a nice touristy thing to do.

One of the most iconic structures to be built to our Singapore skyline, it is no doubt eye-catching when you see it along the ECP highway driving across town. I've been on the Flyer twice though and it's really very underwhelming. Basically it is 30 minutes of being in a capsule room with other people. If you are lucky they will be well-behaved. Good luck if you chance upon really excited or loud passengers. The view above is good but you can see that from Marina Bay Sands. Still, there are some photos to take. Both times I do not have to pay, which is good as well as I don't think the price is justified with the experience. Also do remember to go to the washroom before - you never know if there is going to be another incidence where the Flyer gets stuck in operation for 2 hours! The only cool thing at the Flyer now is the Singapore Heritage Food Trail that is a food court with really vintage items and famous hawker food stalls selling local food. Do check that out for some food to get a better feel of our heritage and cuisine.

This attraction is a bit pricey and probably not worth the money. Although the city lights are beautiful, you can probably get a better view from the sky park at Marina Bay Sands.

Holy crap this thing is expensive. Two adult and 1 child family deal for only 78 SG? Is that a deal? This thing self claims to be the biggest in Asia. It used to be the biggest in the world until a few months ago when Vegas beat it by 2 feet by putting up a 167 foot tall Ferris Wheel. SG...you held the record for 6 years though. Good on you! What else can you expect at the shopping center at the bottom of the Singapore Flyer? Restaurants, minimal shopping, a 7-Eleven, Flight Experience and a little Koi pond where you can sink 1 SG coins into a fish pellet dispenser.

It was a great way to spend some quality time with my family and enjoy a good view of the skyline of Singapore and the Marina Bay Sands. You're pretty much locked up in a spacious, well air conditioned capsule with everyone for half an hour

Very clean and accessible and free via thr singapore airlines stopover pkg. Ride gives you 360 degrees view of city. Wished there was a commentary or illustrations inside the car so that we would know what we were seeing easier. Had to constantly consult and flip the map. Clean bathrooms. Nice staff . Food trail on the ground floor. I had some shaved ice mix to counter the heat.

Surprisingly not busy when we arrived. We received a discount by showing our Singapore Airlines boarding passes. We received our own capsule and enjoyed the quite ride with views of the city. We went during the day but I would recommend going at night or sunset for more impressive views.

When some out of the country friends came into town, one of the things on their list of Singapore things to do. Personally, I wanted to do it at night, but we ran out of time, so we did it on a Sunday. $33 something and off we went. It was actually really cool, I got to see the whole city, race track, water way, all of the above in one swoop. Def. recommended for out of town guests, my friends loved it.

For about $20 US for a 1/2 hour ride, all in all pretty fun. The ride was clean and the "exhibit" you walk through before going on the wheel was pretty interesting. One thing I couldn't believe was getting on the ride. There is no fence whatsoever along the edge when boarding. While there is a net about 10 feet down, the net doesn't look like it would hold much weight. While we were in line a small child, maybe 4 years old, ran ahead of his parents and almost fell off the edge. The employees didn't see it and we had to grab the kid. Fun area and ride overall though. Probably just a one time thing though, so probably wouldn't do it again if I'm ever back in Singapore.
