Merlion Park

Singapore

About this place

Merlion Park is an iconic Singapore landmark that offers one of the most recognizable photo opportunities in the city-state. The park's centerpiece is the impressive 8.6-meter-tall Merlion statue, a mythical creature with a lion's head and fish's body that serves as Singapore's national symbol.

Located at One Fullerton near the Marina Bay waterfront, the park provides stunning views of Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore Flyer, and the city skyline. The smaller Merlion cub statue nearby adds charm to the experience. At night, the Merlion is beautifully illuminated, while during the day, you can watch the statue spout water into the bay.
