    A great half hour trip
    The 'Singapore Flyer' is a great experience, giving you views far across the Marina Bay area. It is the largest giant observation wheel in Asia, bigger than the London Eye even, and a popular destination for both tourists and locals. With 28 large, fully air-conditioned glass cabins, you enjoy a 30-minute journey that seems motion free, with plenty of opportunities to take breathtaking photos. The cost of a ride is S$40 and well worth it.

    Fantastic
    You cannot come to Singapore and not get on the Flyer. It’s the only way to see the enormity of the city and the port. It’s 40SUSD per adult which includes a walkthrough history of Singapore and the actual turn on the Flyer. The ride lasts 30 minutes. Set behind the F1 pit lane.

    Views of the City Galore
    This is a must try in Singapore. Avoid peak hours. After an interactive light and sound walkthrough displays showing the greatness of this country , you are led to a rather huge capsule that move rather slowly, you hardly notice it at first. Glittering skyline views are rewarded once the top is reached. Nearby outward views of neighboring islands can be seen. No food and drinks allowed inside the capsule unless you’ll be having the special packages or the Singapore sling sort of stuff. A little pricey for an admission but worth it.

    Dusk until dark worked really well
    Better than I expected, but we did time it really well, we had dusk until dark - which worked really well. The pre flyer history exhibition was better than I thought it would be, some decent digital graphics and interesting info. Builds up nicely to the flyer. The flyer offered great views, the engineering inspires, it was a great family thing to do.

    Amazing attraction
    From the top, you can see the entire city in all its glory, with the Marina Bay in the foreground and the Singapore River in the background. The view is truly panoramic and picturesque, and it's the perfect place to take some great photos. The Flyer also offers a variety of food and drinks, so you can enjoy a meal while taking in the view.

    Amazing views plus a little history thrown in
    Loved this. It’s the tallest ferris wheel in the world and gives you a great view of Singapore. The newest interactive Time Capsule is a great quick way to find out about Singapore history without going to a museum. My teenage son thought it was ok and he wouldn’t go to the museum so good compromise. An activity you can do in wet or dry weather

    Third biggest wheel in the world offers great views of Singapore
    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.

    Lots of fun and what a view!
    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!

    Great Views
    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.

    Views and perspectives
    The flyer is a must when you visit Singapore, since it includes a history section and a good overview of the city. It’s reasonable to plan it for the start of your visit, so you get an idea what you want to do later. You get a really great view of the city and just tidbits starting from 1200s. Look out for photo taking pushers, though; I ended up falling into a tourist trap and getting a photo with a 50S$ price tag. So refuse any photo taken by someone else unless you collect that sort of memorabilia. Otherwise, it was worthwhile experience.

This is an overpriced eyesore. At worst it's a vain attempt to copy British technology without any regard to functionality and popularity, at best it's an expensive accoutrement to buttress Singapore's skyline. It adds a geometric dimension to the MBS structure. As a tourist draw it's a failure. Who wants to spend more than an hour on an expensive Ferris wheel. You can get better views at a cheaper price with a drink or meal included.
The facility has broken down several times leaving riders stranded. And the poor hawkers on the ground level don't get much traffic. Not one of our proudest monuments.

Having booked tickets through an agent in January and paying over £200 for the four of us we made the long walk in 36 degree from the water front towards the Flyer.
We had with us my wifes father who needed to stop several times because of a heart problem.
On reaching the base of the wheel we found it closed with barriers and scaffolding around it
We spoke to a person there and was told it was shut for scheduled maintence from 1st March to 1st April.
Later that day we recieved a message from the wheel hoping we would enjoy our visit and were told we had a slot at 11 am.
From the first booking day we had no specific time.
Had we of known we would not have booked and as we had a limited time in Singapore we would have arranged or schedule differently.
The Flyer company obviously knew when it would be closed but failed to inform the ticket agency or us.
We are now having great difficultly getting our money back.
We are extremely discusted with all concerned.

One of the worst managed attractions in Singapore. They do not inform you on their website that there may be a 3 hours wait even though you pre-purchased you ticket. They do not allow you to select a time slot while booking. There are snaking queues and the 1 meter social distancing is not followed. Worst experience in efficient Singapore

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.

My experience with the Singapore Flyer was a mixture of expectations and slight disappointment. Renowned for offering a panoramic view of the sparkling cityscape, the flyer indeed provides a spectacular vista of the astounding skyline of Singapore. The 20-minute ride in the flyer, despite being brief, was enough to capture the city in all its grandeur. We were fortunate to have our own pod, adding a touch of luxury and privacy to the experience.

However, as alluring as this part of our adventure was, the additional Time Capsule was, unfortunately, a letdown. Marketed as a futuristic exploration of Singapore's past, present, and future, I found it to be underwhelming and not worth the additional cost. It seemed more like an artless attempt to extend the offering and left us feeling like our time and money could have been better spent elsewhere.

Singapore is indeed ingenious at crafting attractive tourist spots, but it's crucial to filter out the wheat from the chaff. An example of this is the prominence given to unimpressive attractions such as the Time Capsule. In comparison, the Flyer itself is a great draw for those looking to check out the city's dramatic panorama.

Though I would not strongly recommend the Singapore Flyer, especially with the inclusion of the Time Capsule, it can be a one-time experience for those who have never tasted the essence of Singapore from a dizzying height. With this perspective, one can arguably claim to have seen all of Singapore.

We've lived in Singapore for over 7 years now but we visited the flyer only in 2019 when guests came. Though we already know what an architectural marvel Singapore is, the panoramic views from the flyer make this ride worth it. We timed it to go up at twilight and come down after dark. It is quiet and peaceful as compared to views from other places and Singapore looks stunning in the night lights.
My only wish is that it was a tad longer at 45 minutes.

The Singapore Flyer is a must-see for all tourists visiting the city-state of Singapore. It's one of the most iconic attractions and offers amazing views of the city, but as you suggested, it's best in the evening or at night.

The spacious, air-conditioned cabins make the ride comfortable even during the day, but the magical atmosphere truly reveals itself when the sun sets and the city lights up with light shows. Two of the most evocative moments are sunset, when the sun goes down behind the skyscrapers, and during the shows of the fountains in Marina Bay and the trees in Gardens by the Bay. These are moments when Singapore transforms into a city of bright wonders.

Keep in mind that the ride lasts approximately 40 minutes, so it's important to time it carefully to ensure you're at your best during these shows. The descent, along with the shows, usually takes place at 8pm, 9pm and sometimes even at 10pm. Also, lines can be long, so it's best to plan ahead.

As for costs, the price of around €25-30 (depending on the exchange rate) is reasonable for the experience offered. Alternatively, there is also the option to book a dinner on the wheel, if you want a romantic dinner or a more unique gastronomic experience.

In summary, the Singapore Flyer is an amazing experience that should not be missed, especially if you want to admire the bright beauty of Singapore in the evening. It is an attraction that offers breathtaking views and lasting memories.

Local experience can be the best and accurate verdict. This is not the first time , however it is the first coming back with Marina Bay Sands established. Make sure to book a timing before night started as the blue sky will be relinquished, resulting a black background in your portraiture. Best timing in April is about 615pm and just in time to get bluish sky upon reaching the peak of the Singapore Flyer.

Unable to fly on our first booking due to bad weather, we were delighted to fly on the second date. Temperature taken, masks worn, and capsules held reduced numbers , making us feel very safe. The views are great, staff helpful and an interactive display well done.

A must activity with the family. Spectacular views of cause! We Went when it was raining but definitely didn’t affect the experience. The accent was gradual so no light head sensations. The commentary was great, very informative. The staff were all friendly. The gift shop is reasonably priced. The photos taken after the ride is sadly very expensive- one pic costs SD$25.
Further, Don’t bother trying the ‘Hot Kopi’ cafe on the ground floor… the staff a husband and wife team are miserable and rude. The food and drinks are made with a don’t care attitude. Prices are cheap though. Choices are vert limited. There are a few tables and stools but not enough if the Singapore Flyer was busy with hungry visitors. The gelato kiosk was worth the while 3 scoops was SD$9.50. Gelato was tasty nothing special! Long wait for a taxi. The Singapore time capsule is very interesting and educational. Very impressive special effects. Definitely recommend it. Tickets to the Singapore flyer includes the time capsule SD$40 pp. best to by direct from the onsite ticket office. It’s cheaper that other ticketing platforms.
