The world’s largest observation wheel (for now) travel tips and stories. Vacations ideas, cruises, spa and resorts

Singapore Flyer is the world’s largest observation wheel. The observation wheel started rotating on February 11, 2008 and it officially opened to the public on March 1, 2008. Standing at a stunning 165m from the ground, the Flyer offers you breathtaking, panoramic views of the Marina Bay, the island city and beyond. The Flyer is the height of a 42-storeyed building – that’s some 30 meters taller than the famed London Eye.

The Flyer comprises a 150-meters diameter wheel, built over a three-story terminal building, giving it a total height of 165 meters. Each of the 28 air-conditioned capsules are capable of holding 28 passengers each, and a complete rotation of the wheel takes approximately 30 minutes.

Taking a flight on this S$240 million dollar wheel is a one-of-a-kind experience you wouldn’t want to miss. You will be able to experience remarkable scenes of the Singapore skyline: the magnificent Marina Bay, towering skyscrapers, tropical greenery, and the bright lights and non-stop action against the beautiful skies.

Opens daily from 8:30am to 10:30pm.
