Best Time to Visit Singapore Flyer and Why

Why the Singapore Flyer is a Must-Visit

Standing at 165 metres, the Singapore Flyer is one of the world’s tallest observation wheels. From its glass capsules, you can enjoy panoramic views of Marina Bay, the Singapore skyline, and even parts of Malaysia and Indonesia on a clear day.

Whether you’re here for the daytime views, the romantic sunsets, or the dazzling city lights, timing your visit can make all the difference.

Best Time of Day to Visit

1. Late Afternoon to Sunset (5:30 PM – 7:00 PM) – Most Recommended

• See the city transform from day to night in one ride.

• Catch breathtaking sunset views over Marina Bay.

• The golden hour light is perfect for photos.

💡 Pro Tip: Book your ticket for around 6:00 PM so you can enjoy both daylight and nighttime city lights within a single rotation.

2. Evening (7:30 PM – 9:00 PM) – For Night Photography

• Experience Singapore’s skyline fully illuminated.

• Great for couples looking for a romantic ride.

• Best if you’ve already explored nearby attractions during the day.

3. Morning (8:30 AM – 10:00 AM) – For a Quieter Experience

• Fewer crowds, shorter queues.

• Clearer skies for distant views.

• Ideal if you have a packed itinerary and want to start your day here.

Best Time of Year to Visit

Singapore’s weather is fairly consistent year-round, but you can enhance your visit by considering:

• Dry Season (February – April): Less chance of rain, clearer skies for better visibility.

• Festive Periods (Chinese New Year, National Day, Christmas): Extra lighting and themed decorations, though it’s busier.

Avoiding Peak Hours

• Weekends and public holidays are busiest.

• Midweek visits are generally quieter.

• Aim for non-school holiday periods if you want a more peaceful ride.

Combining the Singapore Flyer with Other Attractions

Maximise your day by pairing your visit with nearby attractions:

• Gardens by the Bay – Perfect for afternoon exploration before your evening ride.

• Marina Bay Sands SkyPark – Different skyline perspective.

• Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay – For cultural performances and dining.
