No visit to Sentosa is complete without meeting its most famous, 37-metre tall resident, The Merlion.
When you step inside the Merlion – an enduring icon of Singapore that's half-lion and half-fish – you'll be transported to the depths of the ocean to meet legendary sea dragons and mythical mermaids. Re-live the origins of the Merlion in a captivating animated feature and visit the Mercubs to discover what fortune has in store for you.
Climb to the crown and you’ll be rewarded with a spectacular 360oview of Sentosa, including Singapore's southern shores and a glimpse of the dazzling city skyline. Back on the ground, take an amble along the Merlion Walk, a 120-metre-long Gaudi-inspired mosaic walkway.

Visitor Review's
"I would not expect and in depth history of the Merlion nor an incredible background to the Merlion and Singapore. However it did have a small myth show at the beginning and the view from the top was OK. You can climb to the top of the tower and view Sentosa from the top of the Merlion and view it straight out from the mouth."
"Went up the Merlion into the mouth first and looked out over Singapore and the Sea. Then went up further onto the head, same view only higher, worth a trip to the top."
"The Merlion the mythical sea-lion statue is located next to casino and it is worth to visit. We were able to catch a fantastic panoranic view of Sentosa island from the top of the Merlion. The educational part was the best. Get to know the history of ancient Singaporea bit."
"Paid a minimal fee to climb the Merlion. First we had an informative video clip of the history of Singapore and how the Merlion came about. Was very interesting, however the air conditioning was very cold. Once at the top, had a great view of various sites over Sentosa Island."
"For SGD8 you will have the chance to know the myth behind merlion, half lion and half mermaid. See the view of sentosa island and the nearby places in its head and mouth by taking lift at level 10. This is a nice attraction and nice spot for those who love views and pictures."
