A Different Kind of Fun: Universal Studios Singapore (D-3)

By kweneeeta - 8:31 AM

Today is the most anticipated day of trip. We're going to Universal Studios! We got up at 8:00am and prepared for a very long day at the USS. I purposely didn't visit USS during my first trip to Singapore. It would be boring to explore the "happyland" by myself.

There are many ways to get to Universal Studios. You can get there by taking a taxi, bus, train, cable car, or by the boardwalk. If you haven't tried riding a cable car, this may be your opportunity. Just get to Harbourpoint MRT and walk towards the Harbourpoint cable car station. A roundtrip ticket will cost about SGD33. Alternatively, you can take the monorial at Harbourpoint MRT. This will cost SGD4 (including the SGD1 entrance fee to Sentosa).

But for people who prefers walking, you may walk all the way to Sentosa. Just look for the Sentosa Boardwalk outside Vivo City mall. Entrance fee is SGD1 but it is waived until December 31, 2016.

There are so many things to do in Sentosa. If you're short of budget, you can just get on the free shuttle buses, explore the island, lounge in the beach, and take a lot of photos.

Hey! Let go of my foot!

Universal Studios Singapore is just of the many destinations in Sentosa. Admission fee will cost you SGD74. But if you have more budget, you can get the universal express ticket. With this ticket, you no longer have to worry about the long lines at every ride. Mind you, waiting time can be as long as 4 hours for just one ride!

The 'Hollywood Walk of Fame'

Welcome to New York?!

Ever wondered how some scenes from our favorite movies got produced? Well, Spielberg Cinema will give you a glimpse of how it is to be in the movie-making process. It was so cool!

For thrill-seekers, USS got the ride for you. You must try the Galactica roller-coaster--it's one hell of a ride! The transformer's ride is also a must-ride. I say, it is the best ride in USS.

This is gonna be the best ride of your life!

Ancient Egypt

Souvenir shops are located in almost every corner of the park. You can choose from a lot of variety of items. Get the bundled ones and you can save a little bit more.

In a land far, far away....

By the way, make sure to get a map and a schedule of the meet-and-greets! This will come handy if you have characters that you want to get a picture with or if you have a show you want to catch.

Have you met my friend Bumblebee?

Oh! Hello there Optimus!

Most important tip of all: Enjoy! There is no young or old when you're in a happy place like Universal Studios. Play all you want! No one's gonna stop you.
