Opening Hours

Timings: 10am to 10pm; last admission at 9:30pm
Closed: Open daily
Best time to visit: The capsules of the Singapore Flyer are air-conditioned, and therefore seasonal changes throughout the year do not affect your experience.
Sunset hours tend to be the most crowded, so if you are comfortable sharing a capsule at maximum capacity, this would be the best time to opt for a ride to catch the golden hour. If you prefer a more isolated experience, hop into a capsule during the opening hours of 10am, as that slot attracts fewer crowds.
If you would like to see the city in its daytime glory and have a clearer view, daytime visits are recommended. On the other hand, if you enjoy city lights and a more romantic atmosphere, an evening or nighttime visit might be preferable.
