Fikri RasyidMay 15, 2016Basically just a landmark with few cafes. But it is really iconic and near several attraction such as museums at civil district, garden by the bay, and singapore flyer (important for your itinerary)

SteveMay 14, 2016One of five official Merlions in Singapore. The national icon of Singapore, a lion head on a fish body, representing the origins of a fishing town, and its original name Singapura (lion city).Upvoted 4 days ago
Sie FerryMarch 26, 2014Take a photo here with the Merlion statue and marina bay sands hotel as the background. My most favorite photo view in Singapore. Better view at night.
Upvoted 12 hours ago- NeMeSiSJanuary 29, 2019Merlion is a the ionic symbol for Singapore, walk to the Merlion Park and take a photo of Merlion and also have a good view of the Marina Bay and Financial Centre of Singapore.Breath taking scenery!
A beautiful water spouting statue. You can't visit Singapore without visiting The Merlion! Lots of people and naturally. So beautiful the place of Singapore.
Sometimes, patient is required to make one good photoshoot as so many people are there during the day (and also at night). It is best to take a photo at around sunrise time.
Geek notes: There are 6 authorised Merlion statues in Singapore, with the pair here being the 2 most famous. There used to be a 12-storey version at nearby Sentosa island. Source: Wikipedia- Did u know? The Merlion was designed & used as Singapore Tourism Board’s logo back in 1964 until 1997. The board still holds exclusive rights to use the symbol. Source: Infopedia
Junnie TranOctober 20, 2014Nice view & scenery. You can actually see Marina Bay Sands, One Raffles Quay and Clarke Quay buildings from the boardwalk between the Merlion and Esplanade.
- Simple DiscoveriesSeptember 5, 2016An icon of Singapore. Best photos are actually at dusk/twilight as the statue becomes too bright against the dark night skies. Amazing views of the city & Marina Bay complex.
Nic ComleyMarch 14, 2023An iconic spot with incredible views day and night. Always busy, but a fun place to visit in Singapore!
Kitzia VillegasMay 5, 2019Unfortunately during my visit the Merlion statue was under repairing, but the night view from this point is amazing !
Mary AquitaniaMarch 18, 2015A good place to take photo. You can view the Marina Bay Sands on the other side. Ferry boat ride is near in this attraction.
Rey JaminAugust 23, 2018iconic Singapore. free foto shots to proof the world on your socmed that you’ve visited the Island indeed
Mary JoyJanuary 16, 2019Singapore’s main icon and highlight. You’re trip is incomplete without visiting this
Min 李博 RæSeptember 23, 2014You can see Singapore's known tourist spots when you go here. The famous merlion near the bay can also be found here though it's much smaller than the merlion in Sentosa.
IdiootJuly 28, 2015Singapore's iconic Merlion might refer to a made up legend, but the statue is real and provides Singapore number 1 selfie spot!
Steven WakuuMay 3, 2018Yes, it's super touristy and crowded, but so fun to see! Take a quick detour here as part of a walk along the bay.
Nurul Rafeequa SimsJanuary 10, 2015The view is so nice, the weather is so god damn hot, and you have to order food to seat :p (and its not really delicious -_-)
The Breast Cancer Awareness CampaignOctober 3, 2011Admire Singapore's iconic half fish, half lion statue, The Merlion. After that, take advantage of the terraced seating available for a fantastic view of the Singapore Flyer. Read more
Quentin LafonAugust 1, 2014You must visit this iconic place when you are in Singapore ! Don't miss to take a few postcards photos.
Claudia RonshausenOctober 22, 2011You can't visit Singapore without visiting The Merlion! Lots of people, naturally, but not too hard to snap a nice picture if you're lucky enough to be there with considerate people.
Hadi Al LawatiAugust 20, 2014A must sightseen in Singapore & if you come by 9:30 in evening, you could enjoy the lazer show at MBS
Cinderina StoryJuly 30, 2015Having photo taken with a lion or bay as a background and also you can enjoy meals at nearby cafés
KJanuary 26, 2016You can't not go and see this guy if you're in Singapore. Prepare to battle with similar minded tourists however. Everyone has their selfie stick out.
DHR.comOctober 17, 2011No Singapore is complete without that photo in front of the Merlion Statue (Singapore’s icon) at the Merlion Park. Go up the viewing deck to get the best angles. Adjacent to the One Fullerton.
Kathleen AdelantarSeptember 19, 2016Didn't expect it to be that crowded but worthwhile to have your iconic merlion shot!
Swiss In Hong Kong 🇨🇭🇭🇰November 9, 2019This place at Marina Bay you have to visit when you are in Singapore
Cindy KadsuankeawMarch 26, 2018Merlion Park is a perfect place to hang out. Views are very beatyful and romantic.
ImeshaNovember 20, 2013Just an awesome view... Too perfect I could say... A must visit location if you come to Singapore.
Pushkar DandekarJune 11, 2017One of the main tourist attractions in Singapore. Don't miss it! Especially go there after sunset.
Dustin TranOctober 25, 2015I love this place but there was a very unpleasant smell around this area when I visited it last time in September!
Jenya SJune 4, 2018It’s always crowded, but another way to enjoy it is from a boat. Night rides are particularly pretty.
Angeline NgOctober 28, 2019Went during the weekend, parked at esplanade and walked over... super packed during holiday and weekends...
Vivek VenkatramNovember 15, 2013An imaginary creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish, the Merlion is the most important trademark, and symbol of Singapore.
TJ PanganibanJune 15, 2014Snow ice dessert at the nearby Candy Boulevard under the bridge tastes grrrreat! SGD 10 per cup!
- Jenya SJanuary 7, 2018Everyone is trying to get poor Merlion into the frame. It’s fun though, crowded, but the views are very pretty.
