Fodor's Expert Review The Merlion

Sentosa Island Observatory

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

This monument is the mascot of Singapore tourism; it's a 37-meter off-white "lion fish" creature that emits laser beams from its eyes and smoke from its nostrils. It even glows in the dark. Climb to the crown for a 360-degree view of Sentosa.
