The Top Attractions
Universal Studios Singapore
Southeast Asia's only Universal Studios theme park has 28 rides and shows in 7 themed zones — from Hollywood to New York to Ancient Egypt and Far Far Away (Shrek!). The main attractions: Battlestar Galactica (roller coaster with two tracks — suspended or seated), Transformers: The Ride 3D, and the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure. Admission: from 82 SGD (adults). Tip: Buy an Express Pass (from 50 SGD extra) if you come on weekends or holidays — the lines are brutal.
S.E.A. Aquarium
The S.E.A. Aquarium (South East Asia Aquarium) is one of the largest aquariums in the world — with over 100,000 marine creatures in 49 different habitats. The highlight: the giant Open Ocean Panorama Window (36 m wide, 8 m high), in front of which manta rays, sharks, and schools of fish glide by. Admission: 43 SGD. Tip: The first 30 minutes after opening are the quietest.
Adventure Cove Waterpark
Singapore's best water park with slides, wave pool, lazy river, and a snorkeling reef where you swim among 20,000 tropical fish. Perfect for hot days (so almost always). Admission: 40 SGD.
Skyline Luge & Skyride
First, take the Skyride (chairlift) up the hill, then race down the serpentine tracks on the Luge (a type of go-kart on wheels) — four different tracks, increasingly steep. 2 rides: 25 SGD. Most fun in the dark (Night Luge with illuminated track).
💡 Tipp
Sentosa is especially worthwhile for families and for a full day. If you have little time: The beaches and the view of the container ships in the Strait of Malacca are worth a visit even without a ticket. The best: Tanjong Beach Club in the late afternoon — cocktails, pool, sunset.
