3+3+Singapore: Merlion Park
Operating Hours:Monday - Sunday: Open 24 hours
The Vibe:Seaside icon with skyline backdrop 🌅
A half-lion, half-fish fountain that became Singapore’s enduring national icon, spouting water across the bay since 1972. Locals and travelers alike flock here for that quintessential skyline photo-op by the water.
Waves gently lap against the quay as the Merlion’s water jet splashes into the bay. Tourists chatter in many languages, selfie sticks in hand, while a warm sea breeze mingles with the scent of the marina.
