Add a little whimsy to your school holiday fun! If you visit the Singapore Flyer now, you'll get to enjoy the Wiggle Wiggle-themed Giant Observation Wheel Experience.
Five of the capsules on the observation wheel are currently decked out in adorable decorations. Bright pops of colour and cute characters, including Singapore's very own Merli The Mascot, make for cutesy photo backdrops as you enjoy the rides 165m up in the air.
Each ride consists of a 30-minute rotation. But if you can't get enough of the fun, you can get the Double Experience Ticket that offers two separate rotations in two different themed capsules.
Don't worry about being stuck in long queues. With these tickets you'll get to board via Singapore Flyer's VIP Lounge.
This whimsical Wiggle Wiggle experience is available only until Sept 28. For more information, head to the Singapore Flyer official website (singaporeflyer.com)
