Singapore is one of the most popular tourist destinations in South-East Asia and it is really no wonder why. With plenty to do, experience, eat and see, this small island country is jam-packed with all things exciting and exotic. And just off the coast of Singapore, connected by road, water, monorail and cable car, is Sentosa, Singapore’s recreational island. Sentosa is one of the most thrilling and fun places to be in Singapore, as this tiny stretch of land literally has everything, and I mean everything. From Universal Studios to S.E.A Aquarium to Adventure Cove Waterpark to Singapore Cable Car and even Tiger Sky Tower! One thing is guaranteed - there is not a second for you to get bored here. In this article we will be looking at the Tiger Sky Tower, Singapore’s highest observation tower and one of Sentosa’s most popular experiences.
Tiger Sky Tower
Initially called the ‘Carlsberg Sky Tower’, this beautiful and daunting structure, standing at a height of 131 meters (430 feet) above sea-level is Singapore’s highest observation deck. Standing in its air-conditioned, 360° cabin and looking out its massive, wall-sized windows, one can savour breathtaking, panoramic views of Singapore and Sentosa, and on a clear day, even see as far as Indonesia and Malaysia! This is the best way to enjoy and take in the awe-inspiring Singapore skyline, and also the surrounding greenery and beauty of the island below.
The tower was inaugurated in 2004, and has been open to the public ever since. You can purchase a ticket to the observation deck and spend as much time as you like at the top, though most visitors spend about 1-1.5 hours here.
Visiting the Tiger Sky Tower and getting a full, unobstructed view of the city will definitely be a high point of your Singapore trip.

Tiger Sky Tower Reviews
The Tiger Sky Tower is located in the Imbiah Lookout zone in the centre of Sentosa Island. It has a height of 110 metres above ground level, or about 36 floors tall. Visitors can buy tickets and enter the round shaped glass covered sitting arrangement which rotates and revolves round a centre pole and slowly moves up and down the 360 feet height. As they go up, the visitors can get a panoramic 360 degree view of the Sentosa Island.

I was all alone when I visited this attraction. You need to take a camera and better still take a video when going up and going back down. You will enjoy the experience many times over afterwards. I took both pictures and video - my Sony camera allows me to both both simultaneously.
