Watch the reflections rippling across the shimmering water of Merlion. This popular fountain is a terrific place to take some time out while being delighted by the trickling displays.

You'll have sightseeing choices galore when spending time in Marina Bay. Merlion is a good place to start here, but there are numerous other interesting attractions to appreciate. Universal Studios Singapore, Haji Lane, and Chinatown Heritage Center are near the modern water feature and will round out your day nicely.

Great to visit the waterfront. The merlion is the symbol of Singapore but other that a nice place for photos not much else.

2/5 - Disappointing

There are two mer-lions. No one told us one was huge and the greater of the two. When we arrived at the smaller one, it was under going maintenance. Not a single person we asked knew or informed us of this.
