    Home of the iconic Singaporean statue
    My husband and I took a tour of the central business district in Singapore. At the end of the tour, we ended up in Merlion Park with the iconic statue of the Merlion, a mythical half-lion, half fish. The Merlion’s fish-half symbolizes Singapore’s origins as a fishing village, known as Temasek. The head of the statue represents the city’s original name of Singapura. The statue currently stands at 8.6 meters tall in front of the Fullerton Hotel and overlooks Marina Bay, it’s home since 2002. As tourists, we naturally had to take photos in front of the Merlion statue. It’s a lot bigger than you’d think. There is a mini one in the park that you can also take photos of. The park is free to everyone and it is a busy hubbub of activity during the late afternoon and evening. We took a bus to and from the business district that day and found the park easily accessible.

    The Icon of Singapore
    While you are in the city, this is an excellent location for taking photographs because you will be able to see a variety of buildings all around you and take in the diverse architecture as well as views of the bay. Can be a popular destination for tourists. Before moving on to the next location, take some time to relax, take in the scenery, and have a refreshing beverage or a delicious ice cream treat.

    A temporarily closed Merlion experience
    They are renovating the statue itself as they will reopen next year? It was fun to walk around the area even though the highlight of the whole Singapore trip is to see the Merlion. For the meantime, there's a small version of Merlion you can enjoy and take a photo with.

    Symbol
    In addition to being one of the most recognizable monuments in Singapore, the Merlion also serves as the Lion City's unofficial mascot. Its body is that of a fish, but it has the head and mane of a lion. The fish body is meant to symbolize Singapore's beginnings as a fishing community when it was known by its previous name, Temasek. The area around the fish is incredibly attractive and provides a wonderful opportunity to take some stunning photographs.

    An unusual fountain worth to see!!
    It is worth a visit here if you have the time to come by early in the morning before 9a.m. or so as it gets quite busy and crowded. We started from the Anderson Bridge under the Esplanade and walked past the smaller Merlion statue before arriving to the big Merlion that has a fountain that sprays water into the Marina Bay. A very unusual sight for sure and make sure you walk around both sides of the fountain to see the different views. There are a lot of souvenir shops and drink stands around the Esplanade, also a restroom behind the souvenir shops.

    Captivating Merlion Park Experience
    During my first visit to Singapore, exploring Merlion Park proved to be a highlight of my trip. The park, nestled between the stunning Marina Bay and the iconic Sands hotel, offers a unique blend of history and picturesque views. The Merlion statue itself is a fascinating sight, with its fish body symbolizing Singapore's fishing community roots and a lion's head representing the city's original name, Singapura. The park is more than just a photo opportunity; it's a vibrant hub with plenty of shops, restaurants, and a lively atmosphere. I particularly enjoyed strolling along the water, taking in the diverse architecture and scenic views across the bay. Merlion Park is a must-visit for anyone exploring Singapore, providing not only a glimpse into the city's heritage but also a fantastic spot to unwind and appreciate the surrounding beauty.

    The Merlion, iconic Singapore symbol.
    We had to enjoy views of this historic monument from our river boat, the park surrounding closed for redevelopment and reopening not scheduled until after we departed Singapore. One benefit, I could get a photo without the usual hordes surrounding the Merlion. The Merlion is a Singapore icon, sculpted by Lim Nang Seng in 1972, and underwent maintenance works in 2023.

    Must visit while in Singapore
    The area like a water front with lots of shops and cafes around. The highlight of the place is of course the Merlion fountain! These days its quite hot and humid in Singapore and so it is difficult to spend a lot of time there. If possible, do visit the place again after sundown to enjoy the beautiful lightings!

    Pretty waterside location - great views of the city skyline and Marina Bay
    The Merlion is the mascot of Singapore - a creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. Merlion Park is a beautiful location by Marina Bay that offers plenty of photo opportunities and views over the business district, the Marina Bay Sands hotel, the ArtScience Museum and Singapore Flyer big wheel. The Jubilee Bridge is worth exploring to get a different view looking back. You can't avoid all the vloggers and Instagrammers as it's a popular selfie location but there's plenty of room to find a quiet space to sit and chill and take in the sights. There are toilets close to the Starbucks near the Anderson bridge. There is some outdoor seating. It's a top attraction and well worth checking out if spending time in the city.

    Iconic Singapore Symbol that doesn’t disappoint
    An iconic symbol of Singapore which is worth the journey for the views over the city and Marina. Best to go in the evening when the lighting gives added effect. The area around the park has multiple eateries and up market hotels, particularly the Fullerton. The closest MRT stop is Raffles MRT.
