Moon-gazing during the Mid-Autumn Festival will not be the same when you visit Singapore Flyer, the world’s largest Giant Observation Wheel. Ascend 165 metres into the skies and re-live the Chinese mythology of the moon goddess Chang Er, the ten suns and the elixir of immortality as you savour premium mooncakes and champagne, with the Singapore cityscape glittering at your feet.

From now until the 15th day of the lunar 8th month (Sept 14), Singapore Flyer will offer a special flight for the Mid-Autumn Festival: A unique pairing of Moët & Chandon champagne and Singapore Marriott Hotel mooncakes – the perfect complement for a 30-minute panoramic discovery of the Singapore story, from a fishing village to the fast-burgeoning Marina Bay, with Malaysia and Indonesia on the vista horizon.

For private capsule bookings (priced at $2,500), up to 26 guests can enjoy Express Boarding, free flow champagne (up to 10 bottles), chocolates and strawberries. Two in-capsule service hosts will serve up a platter of two Marriott snowskin mooncake flavours: The classic White Lotus Seed Paste with Egg Yolk and the new Japanese Sweet Potato Paste with Atap Seeds and Red Bean, a recipe bound to recall fond memories of uncovering atap seeds and red beans in your ice-kacang dessert, or hastily peeling the piping hot skin of the sweet potato.

The first 8 private capsule bookings will enjoy a complimentary Champagne and Mooncakes Appreciation Session with the Travelling Gourmet, Dr Michael Lim, with the highlight “Sabre A Champagne” (the age-old warrior practice of slicing off the champagne bottle with a sabre). 

Individuals, too, can enjoy this festive special at $69 per person. This includes Express Boarding, chocolates, strawberries, one flute of champagne and one customised mini oven-baked White Lotus Seed Paste mooncake from Marriott (the mooncake is to be redeemed after the flight).   

To celebrate this Chinese lunar date of reunion for families and loved ones, the first 1,000 visitors daily who board the Singapore Flyer will receive a free traditional animal mooncake, redeemable at the Singapore Asian Collections store after their flight (the store is located on level 1; applicable to Basic, Express Boarding and Signature Cocktail flights). Terms and conditions apply.
