Singapore Flyer
If you like to enjoy 360 degrees unobstructed view of Singapore, then you can ride the Singapore Flyer which is touted as the 'World's Largest Giant Observation Wheel'. Standing at 165 metre tall, it is about 42 storeys. One complete revolution takes about 30 minutes to enjoy the beautiful view of SIngapore. I recently went to Singapore Flyer with my friends.
Ticket for an adult costs $33 and $21 per child. Well there is the Basic family value package for 2 adults and a child at $78.00.
After trying the Singapore flyer, maybe you can explore different shops in the Singapore Flyer shopping mall. You can be a 'real pilot' by operating the flight simulator in Flight Experience. There is also fish therapy where you dip your legs and the garra rufa fishes nibble your feet at a fish spa.
If you are hungry, there are many restaurants or eateries you can choose. There are Chinese, Indian and hawker food.
