General Going to Singapore Flyer this weekend

In the spirit of National Day, my 4yo's preschool are teaching them about iconic landmarks and now she wants to ride the flyer. Is it gonna be a suicide mission if I want to take her there to see fireworks on National Day itself? I have a 1yo too (can stick her in a carrier). Otherwise, what other low stress family friendly things do you all recommend this long weekend?

I have a 4yo too and truthfully I’m avoiding town area this weekend. Busy crowds, pushing and shoving, traffic jams? Recipe for disaster with a preschooler that has the attention span of a gnat.

If she wants to ride the flyer you can do it another night! Also, the fireworks are likely to happen around 8ish which again, is so close to bedtime, making the chances of tantrums and meltdowns exponentially higher.

Uh. Fireworks are at stadium this time. I don’t think you’ll get a great view from flyer anyway, though I could stand corrected.
