1. Singapore Cable Car
In the 80s, the cable car was the only other way besides taking a ferry to enter Sentosa. Take a trip down memory lane with your family on this classic mode of transportation into the island and see how much it has changed. You can even dine in the cabins now!

There’s no doubt that Singapore has one of the best city skylines around and it gets even better at night. What better way to enjoy that view than from a fully air-conditioned capsule 165m above ground level!
Before it became one of the icons of Singapore’s skyline and the backdrop to every National Day and New Year’s Eve fireworks display, your parents or grandparents might have known a different side to Marina Bay.
Treat them to the magical sight of iconic and historical landmarks such as Singapore River, Raffles Place and the Merlion Park, all from the comfort of the Singapore Flyer’s capsule.
