What to Know Before Visiting Universal Studios Singapore

One of the most sought-after attractions in Singapore, Universal Studios Singapore is the only such one in Southeast Asia. It is situated on the fascinating Sentosa Island and offers an enthralling day of experiences to visitors be it families, couples, friends, or solo travellers. Comprising different attractions, shows and incredible rides this world-renowned theme park provides a day of entertainment to all its visitors. Discover some insightful tips to make it a day full of fun.

Buy your ticket in advance

Getting your Universal Studios Singapore ticket online and in advance is the wisest thing to do to avoid disappointment as limited tickets are sold each day. This is frequently done by guests using any studio apartment in Singapore as you are likely to get a better deal on the entrance fee online rather than at the gate and will not need to spend precious park enjoyment time waiting in the queue. However, be sure you are definite about the date before booking online as the ticket is valid only for the booked date.

Skip weekends and public holidays

Weekends and Public Holidays in Singapore tend to draw bigger crowds than usual, hence keep this in mind when booking your tickets online. Although only a certain number of tickets are issued for a day, larger crowds mean longer queues for rides and other attractions, hence reducing time for enjoyment. Choose weekdays to optimise your time at Universal Studios and do the rides, visit the shows etc. in a more relaxed manner.

Get to the Park early

Universal Studios usually operates daily between 10 am to 8 pm, make sure to confirm opening hours for the day you have booked for the visit as on certain special days they may change. Getting there early is best as you have an advantage in having minimum crowds around that time enabling you to enjoy more rides in a shorter period.

This advantage stands you in good stead when the day advances with more crowds flocking into the park. By then you have covered a lot of rides and attractions and can spend time on meet and greet sessions, look up the shows, cover the balance rides and even spend time in the souvenir shop like the many guests who use properties like Citadines Rochor Singapore when they visit Universal Studios.

Optimise Meet & Greet Sessions

Meet and Greet sessions are fun and quite captivating as they let you get to meet many movie characters like Optimus Prime, Minions, Madagascar characters etc. for a handshake and a hug. Though the tendency with most visitors is to do as many rides and attend as many shows as possible, if you fit in Meet and Greet sessions in between, the overall park experience is much more enriching. These Meet and Greet sessions are scheduled many times throughout the day, hence fitting them in is not difficult for visitors.

Use vital information at your fingertips

Having the Universal Studios Singapore mobile app on your phone when you are visiting the park is a smart move. It shows you not only the entire map of the Universal Studios Singapore park but also the waiting time for rides places to get refreshments, scheduling meet and greet sessions the location of the souvenir shops.

Snack and hydrate while at the park

With a wide range of eating options from fast food to fine dining, it is best to not eat anything too heavy but snack as you feel hungry by keeping a few snacks with you, this way you don’t spend too long to get your food and feel lighter and energetic to enjoy the attractions.

In the tropical heat of Singapore, it is best to remain hydrated frequently, by carrying a refillable bottle you can top up drinking water at the park.
