Singapore

Sentosa Island is Singapore’s main resort and entertainment zone. Its attractions include theme parks, aquariums and thrill rides suitable for families and visitors of all ages.

Welcome to Singapore, famously known as the Lion City. The name comes from a legend – a 14th-century prince thought he saw a lion on this island and called it Singapura (Lion City). In reality, no lions ever lived here, but the regal nickname stuck for this modern city-state.

Highlights

Deep Dive

Halloween Transformation – Each fall, USS hosts Halloween Horror Nights, where once-friendly zones transform into haunted houses and scare zones. It’s one of Asia’s largest Halloween events.

Celebrity Visitors – Steven Spielberg was involved in creating the Lights, Camera, Action! attraction and attended the park’s opening. Other stars like Jet Li and Paula Abdul have been spotted enjoying the park when visiting Singapore.

Minion Language – In the new Minion Land, many signboards and even the safety announcements for the Despicable Me ride include words in “Minionese.” It’s a playful detail that big fans might catch while waiting in line.

Did You Know?

notice how close some coasters intertwine overhead!

Compact Design: USS is the smallest Universal Studios park globally. To pack in major attractions, some rides are multi-level (Revenge of the Mummy is largely underground) and space is used cleverly

Asian Touches: While the park features global Universal themes, you’ll find Asian influences like halal-certified eateries and shows adjusted for multilingual audiences, reflecting Singapore’s international and family-centric visitorship.

Record Coaster: When Battlestar Galactica opened, it was one of the world’s tallest dueling coasters. Engineers had to account for Singapore’s humid, salty air environment in its design and maintenance, a unique challenge among Universal parks.

from Hollywood Boulevard street performers to stunt actors at WaterWorld. They rehearse in off-site studios, and each day before opening, they do sound checks and safety runs to ensure every show and ride is ready for guests.

Behind the Scenes: The park employs a large cast of entertainers

Explore Deeper

Mel’s Drive-In (Hollywood Zone) – 1950s-themed diner serving burgers, fries and milkshakes. It’s retro, air-conditioned, and great for a midday lunch break in cool comfort.

Discovery Food Court (The Lost World Zone) – Food court offering local Singaporean dishes (like chicken rice, fried noodles) in a Jurassic-themed setting. Good for a quick, hearty meal and to taste some local flavors without leaving the park.

tabler_icon_soup_d25b37ff02.svg

Food & Coffee Shops

If possible, go on a weekday outside school holidays – the park will be much less crowded.

Arrive 30 minutes before official opening; they often let guests into Hollywood zone early and do a rope-drop ceremony with characters.

Use the Universal Studios Singapore app to check live wait times and show schedules – it helps plan your next move efficiently.

Buy Universal Express passes early in the day if crowds grow – they can sell out, and they’re most useful if lines exceed 30 min (often afternoons).

Take advantage of Single Rider lines on attractions like Revenge of the Mummy and Transformers – they’re a free way to reduce wait if you don’t need to sit together.

Insider Tips

Layout: USS is a loop around a lagoon. You’ll start on Hollywood Boulevard (entrance area) and can go clockwise (through Madagascar/Minion Land first) or counter-clockwise (through New York). Either way, you’ll circle through all zones eventually.

Navigation: Pick up a park map or use the USS app – it shows all rides, dining, and toilets. The park is not huge; walking end-to-end takes ~10 minutes, but plan extra time due to crowds and detours into attractions.

Popular Rides Strategy: Head to Sci-Fi City early for Transformers and Battlestar Galactica coasters – they are in the back. Then you can loop back around to Far Far Away and Lost World later in the day as crowds spread out.

Wheelchair/Stroller: All park paths are accessible. There are ramps alongside stairs in areas like Ancient Egypt. The only inaccessible attractions might be some older ride queues (but staff will assist alternate entries). Strollers can be parked outside most rides (stroller parking zones are marked).

Internal Navigation

Know Before You Go

- By MRT: Take the North-East Line or Circle Line to HarbourFront (NE1/CC29). From VivoCity mall Level 3, hop on the Sentosa Express monorail to Resorts World Station (first stop) – USS is a 5-minute walk from there.
- By taxi/car: Direct to Resorts World Sentosa (parking available at the underground lot near Universal Studios, charges apply). Taxi drop-off is at the Resorts World Basement 1 pick-up point, a short escalator ride up to the park entrance.
- Sentosa internal shuttle: If you’re already on Sentosa Island, you can use the Sentosa Bus or Beach Tram to get to Resorts World. Look for directions to the Universal Studios area.
- Entrance: Look for the giant rotating Universal Globe. Ticket turnstiles are right behind it under the archway. If you have e-tickets, you can scan the QR code directly from your phone.

Getting There & Entrances

- Washrooms/lockers/ATMs/cafés: Restrooms are available in every zone. Locker rentals (small and large) are near the entrance and at major rides like Battlestar Galactica (fees vary by size/time). ATMs are located at the park entrance and in the New York zone. Dining options range from quick bites (hot dogs, popcorn carts) to air-conditioned restaurants (Mel’s Diner, Loui’s Pizza).
- Baby care/prayer/relaxation: A Family Services room is near the entrance for nursing mothers and diaper changing. Strollers and wheelchairs can be rented at Guest Services. There isn’t a dedicated prayer room inside the park, but the nearby Resorts World convention center has a public prayer room visitors can use. Plenty of benches and shaded areas are available; also, the Pantages Hollywood Theater offers a nice air-con break during shows.
- Notable missing/unexpected: Outside food is not allowed (they do bag checks). Re-entry is allowed – get a handstamp if you plan to exit and return on the same day. Smoking is only in designated areas outside the park gates. During sudden rain, outdoor rides will pause – disposable rain ponchos are sold at shops if you need to continue exploring in wet weather.

What it is

Once You Reach

Persona Fit

The iconic Universal Globe at the entrance is a must-photo – get there at park opening or closing for a shot with fewer people in the background.

Keep your phone or camera secure on rides. For intense rides, store it in lockers (free for first 20-30 min at major rides) – loose items aren’t allowed on coasters.

Catch candid moments: street performers and impromptu character meet-and-greets happen on Hollywood Boulevard – have your camera ready.

Many indoor rides are dark (like the Mummy coaster), so you won’t get good photos during the ride. Instead, snap pics of the detailed queue environments (e.g., the Egyptian tomb queue) while waiting.

Photography Tips

Try to visit on a weekday and arrive by opening time. Head to popular rides (like Transformers or the coasters) first thing. Consider buying a Universal Express Pass for skip-the-line access on busy days. Also, take advantage of Single Rider lines (free) on select attractions – they can significantly cut wait times if you don't mind splitting up.

How can I avoid long lines at Universal Studios Singapore?

Outside food and drinks (except water and baby food) are not allowed in the park. Security checks bags at entry. There are many dining options inside for meals and snacks. You can bring a refillable water bottle – water fountains are available to stay hydrated.

Can I bring my own food and drinks into USS?
