Singapore FlyerSingapore's equivalent of the London Eye, the Singapore Flyer is
an enormous Ferris Wheel that doubles as an excellent urban
observation point. The Flyer is an incredible 42 storeys, or 541
feet (165m) high - making it the largest Ferris Wheel in the world,
a full 98 feet (30m) taller than the London Eye. The chief reason
to take a trip on the Flyer is the view of Singapore's sleek
cityscape that it affords: views of Marina Bay and Singapore River
are punctuated by notable landmarks such as Raffles Place, Merlion
Park, the Empress Place and the Padang. Locals say that on clear
days, you can even see out as far as the Indonesian islands of
Batam and Bintan; while a night-time trip on the Flyer turns the
bustling city into a glittering light show. The Singapore Flyer is
housed in a large terminal building that also includes bars,
restaurants and shops, as well as fun kids attractions like flight
simulators and an indoor tropical forest. A sure bet for a great
day out in Singapore for Address: 30 Raffles Avenue Website: www.singaporeflyer.com |
