Jurong Lookout Tower

West & Southwest Singapore


A curious relic of the 1970s (as if you couldn’t tell), this viewing tower features a stained-glass ceiling and a futuristic night-time view over the lights and flaming stacks of the Jurong Island industrial zone. Take a hike up after visiting the Jurong Bird Park.
