Merlion Statue Cleaning: Planned Works at Merlion Park
Singapore, June 13, 2025 — Get ready! The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has announced some upcoming maintenance at the iconic Merlion Park.
Specifically, the main Merlion statue will be closed for essential cleaning on July 22, 2025.
What to Expect During the Cleaning
During this time, expect to see scaffolding around the main Merlion statue. This means it won't be available for photos. However, don't worry, you can still snap pictures with the adorable Merlion cub statue located nearby in the park!
We appreciate your understanding. There might be some slight inconveniences due to the works and safety barriers in place.
We hope this doesn't dampen your visit, and we look forward to welcoming you to see the refreshed Merlion!
