Just a short cable car ride from the main island, Universal Studios Singapore promises an activity-packed day out. Follow this guide and you\u2019ll be hopping between thrilling movie-themed rides and, come nightfall, gazing up at a stunning fireworks display.<\/p>\n

Themepark Guide: Universal Studios Singapore\u00a0\u00a0\"themepark-divider\"<\/h2>\n

USS: An Adventure in Singapore<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no shortage of\u00a0fun things to do in Singapore<\/a>. But as much as I enjoy city life, I\u2019m always keen to add some adventure to my sightseeing itinerary, which is why I love\u00a0Sentosa\u00a0Island<\/a>. It’s where you can find the sun-kissed playground of\u00a0Resorts World\u00a0Sentosa, home of Universal Studios Singapore.<\/p>\n

The theme park’s seven zones celebrate some of the most exciting movie moments and lovable\u00a0characters to ever hit our screens. A one-day pass costs S$67 for adults (aged 13 to 59) and S$54 for children (aged 4 to 12) \u2013 remember to book\u00a0your USS tickets\u00a0online<\/a>\u00a0to avoid the queues. Do also note that there are height restrictions for some attractions, ranging from a minimum of 80cm to 122cm.<\/p>\n

Operating hours vary, so do be sure to check them out<\/a>\u00a0before booking.<\/p>\n

With so much to do in just one day, here\u2019s how to make the most of your visit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Get in the Zone: The\u00a07 Themed Areas in Universal Studios Singapore<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hollywood<\/h4>\n

The fun starts with a wander down the star-studded Walk of Fame, where you\u2019ll rub shoulders with animated film favourites including the dungaree-clad Minions. In keeping with the all-American feel of this zone, pay a visit to Mel’s Drive-in diner for a milkshake with a side of all-singing, all-dancing service.<\/p>\n

If you visit on a Saturday, head back here towards the end of the day to get swept up in the Hollywood Dreams Parade which rolls into town at 5pm before the Lake Hollywood Spectacular firework display fills the night sky at 8pm.<\/p>\n

Madagascar<\/h4>\n

From Hollywood you can head left or right but if you are anything like me \u2013 and want the thrills to build as you go \u2013 then head left and travel in a clockwise direction. In this tropical zone you can take a riverboat through the jungle with the crazy critters of\u00a0Madagascar.<\/em> Younger children will also enjoy King Julien’s\u00a0Beach Party-Go-Round, a family carousel that’s suitable for all ages.<\/p>\n

Far Far Away<\/h4>\n

This\u00a0Shrek<\/em>-themed zone is home to a magical ferris\u00a0wheel, the Enchanted Airways junior roller coaster and street entertainment featuring a cast of characters from DreamWorks\u00a0Animation’s hits. The fairytale theme also recently got bigger with the unveiling of Universal Studios Singapore\u2019s latest addition \u2013 the Puss In Boots\u2019 Giant Journey anti-gravity roller coaster.<\/p>\n

Lost World<\/h4>\n

Take the scare levels up a notch in this Jurassic Park<\/em>-inspired zone. For the more adventurous, the river raft ride is one not to miss. Hitting this ride early in the day also gives you time to dry off. If you have younger ones with you, board the Canopy Flyer and take in a bird’s eye view of the park as you soar through dinosaur-infested treetop canopies. Before you leave, don’t forget to catch the water show that\u2019s packed with death-defying stunts and high-octane action.<\/p>\n

Ancient Egypt<\/h4>\n

Little explorers can drive a jeep around abandoned excavation sites at Treasure Hunters while thrill-seekers will love the high-speed Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster, which takes riders\u00a0into a deep, dark tomb replete with fireballs and warrior mummies.\u00a0Need to keep your energy levels up? Fuel up with Middle Eastern-inspired dishes at Oasis Spice Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Sci-Fi City<\/h4>\n

Serious white-knuckle fans should board Transformers The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle, where passengers fight alongside\u00a0Optimus\u00a0Prime and the\u00a0Autobots before coming face-to-face with these larger-than-life robots when they roll out onto the futuristic streets of this ultra-modern zone.<\/p>\n

New York<\/h4>\n

Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street? You just arrived! From musical stage shows and\u00a0a chance to eat breakfast alongside Elmo and the Cookie Monster to a colourful Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase ride, this\u00a0zone is perfect for preschoolers. The rest of the family can pop in for the special effects show hosted by Steven Spielberg, which shows you how an empty sound stage\u00a0becomes the setting for a major hurricane\u00a0about to hit New York City.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not ready to leave?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s plenty of great\u00a0accommodation on\u00a0Sentosa\u00a0Island<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For a tranquil experience that\u2019s close to all the action, Resorts World Sentosa\u2019s poolside Beach Villas<\/a> come with a personal butler and access to the steam rooms and saunas of the\u00a0ESPA retreat. More family-friendly fun can also be had at the nearby\u00a0Adventure Cove Waterpark and\u00a0S.E.A. Aquarium.<\/p>\n

But if you prefer to people watch, the swimming pool and al fresco cocktail bar at the hip W Singapore \u2013 Sentosa Cove<\/a> might be just the place.<\/p>\n

Keen for more daredevil antics? Test your surf skills at Wave House\u00a0Sentosa\u00a0or fly through the sky at the\u00a0MegaZip\u00a0Adventure Park.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day if all you want to do is unwind, it\u2019s perfectly fine, too, to bag a daybed at the chic\u00a0Tanjong\u00a0Beach Club for a spot of sun-bathing before returning to the bright lights of the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
