Although Britain’s London Eye started the new generation of giant observation wheels, the Singapore Flyer (which is 30 meters higher) is currently the world’s largest observation wheel. Standing at a stunning 165m from the ground, traveling at 0.24 meters per second/ 0.76 kilometers per hour, and including a total capacity per revolution of 784 passengers, the Singapore Flyer offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Marina Bay, the island city-state and beyond.
It’s recommended to visit this attraction in the evening, between 5:30pm to 6:30pm in order to get both spectacular day and night views of Singapore. Tickets for a standard flight are $29.50 SGD per adult, $20.65 per child, $23.60 per senior, and worth the view. Or try their VIP Signature Cocktail Flight or Moët & Chandon Champagne Flight, both $69.00 each. For special occasions, book the World’s First Full Butler Sky Dining ($269++ per couple)! The first-class experience includes a brand new 4-course fine dining menu, a butler tending to your every need, captivating views of the Marina Bay skyline – all hosted in a spacious and comfortable capsule.
