Universal Studios Singapore

8 Sentosa Gateway, SGP

As Southeast Asia’s first movie-themed park, Universal Studios Singapore offers a slew of exciting attractions, including 24 rides. Opened in 2011 with director Steven Spielberg as a creative consultant, the kid-friendly park takes inspiration from some of Hollywood’s biggest franchises, including Transformers, Jurassic Park, and Shrek.

Universal Studios Singapore, one of Singapore’s most popular family attractions, deserves an entire day to fully appreciate. The park is divided into six themed zones (Hollywood, New York, Sci-Fi City, Ancient Egypt, The Lost World, and Far Far Away), each with its own set of attractions. Park-goers have several pre-book ticket options, from a basic one-day pass to a VIP guided tour with skip-the-line access.

  • Wear comfortable shoes—the park covers nearly 50 acres (20 hectares).

  • The weather in Singapore can be hot and humid, so wear light, breathable clothing.

  • The park offers WiFi access, and strollers and wheelchairs are available for rent.

To beat the lines, consider upgrading to an Express Pass, which provides access to a shorter line at popular attractions such as Transformers the Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle, Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride, and Battlestar Galactica: Human vs. Cylon.
