Teen-Approved: Coasters, Murals and Malls in 48 Hours

★★★★Aleena Sara Varghese· a month ago“Universal Studios Singapore was a great experience and definitely a fun place for families. Children would really enjoy the park, but it’s better to take them once they are a bit taller because many rides have minimum height requirements. There can be long queues for popular rides, so be prepared for some waiting time. If you are confused about where to go or want to check ride timings, shows, and live events, make sure to download the Universal Studios app from the Play Store. It’s very helpful for navigation and planning your day. The hotel we stayed at was also good, and there were many food options available. We tried different kinds of biryani at an Indian café called Oasis. Most were nice, but the Roast Chicken Biryani was not that great, so I wouldn’t personally recommend that one. Some must-try rides are Transformers, Revenge of the Mummy, Minions, Shrek 4D, and the roller coasters if you enjoy thrilling rides. Revenge of the Mummy can feel a bit scary at first, but it’s completely safe and very exciting. Shopping areas also available to buy souvenirs. Unfortunately, the large roller coaster ride was closed during our visit, and WaterWorld was also not operating at that time. Still, overall it was an amazing experience and a must-visit attraction in Singapore.”

★★★★★Jaspreet singh· a month ago“Universal Studios Singapore was such a fantastic experience for our family! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and full of energy. The park is well-organized, clean, and easy to navigate, which made the day stress-free and enjoyable. The rides were a great mix for both kids and adults. The Transformers and the Mummy ride was definitely a highlight, super immersive and thrilling. The Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure was another favorite, especially on a warm day! For younger kids, there were plenty of fun attractions and shows to keep them entertained. Plan weekdays as you have to wait less than hours on weekends. We visited on Wednesday and the average wait time was 10-20 mins or you can buy express passes for $100 each if planning on weekends. Best advice is to avoid visiting on Friday, Sat, Sunday and Mondays to avoid waiting for longer hours. What really stood out was the attention to detail in each themed zone, it truly feels like you’re stepping into different worlds. The staff were friendly and helpful, and wait times were quite reasonable considering how popular the park is. Food options were decent, though a bit pricey (as expected in theme parks), but there was enough variety to suit different tastes and there are some options for vegetarians as well i.e fries, burger and potato chips. Overall, it’s a must-visit if you’re in Singapore , perfect for families, couples, or even solo travelers looking for a fun day out. Definitely worth it!”

★★★★★Kapil Kamtikar· 2 months ago“Fantastic day out, but planning is key for large families! We visited as a big family group, ranging from young kids to seniors, and had an amazing time. However, to really utilize your time wisely, you need a game plan. Here are my top tips: 1. ​Wait Times & Express Pass: Download the Universal Studios app immediately to keep an eye on ride wait times. If you see waits stretching beyond 20-30 minutes, bite the bullet and get the Express Pass. Without it, you will definitely miss out on a lot of rides and shows. 2. ​Divide and Conquer: For large, multi-generational groups, the best strategy is to split into two. We had the younger ones go on the thrilling rides while the seniors attended the seated shows. It kept everyone happy and entertained! 3. ​Strollers for Kids: There is a lot of walking, so definitely keep a stroller handy for the little ones. If you don't bring your own, it's very easy to rent one right near the entrance. ​Dining: If your family prefers Indian food, plan ahead. There is only one Indian food restaurant in the park, and it is located near the Mummy ride. ​Highly recommended, just be sure to plan your day out smartly!”

★★★★★Priya Das· 2 months ago“Visiting Universal Studios was an unforgettable experience filled with energy, creativity, and nonstop fun. The park blends immersive storytelling with thrilling attractions in a way that pulls you right into the worlds you love. From the moment you walk through the gates, everything feels alive — the music, the characters, the architecture, even the food stands contribute to the atmosphere. Extra fun was ropeway riding... When we visit there was Disney Adventure cruise ship whuch was first launching.....me also attached the video of it... We visited during Chinese New Year. They have 2 rollers coaster which was on the transformers theme humans vs cylon.The scariest one and the best was the cylon coaster.universal express which was worth it for all the rides especially on weekends to get fast access to the rides especially the roller coaster or the popular rides as the wait time goes up to more than 1 hour. I wish there were seats in the queuing area. Some rides are not very popular, like Buggie Boogie, Silly Swirly, Magic Potion Ride and Accelerator,Me Minion Mayhem, Shrek and Donkey Live Show, Puss in Boots’ Giant Journey, Ancient Egypt, and Jurassic Park. The Ancient Egypt zone added thrill and excitement with its detailed design and adventurous rides. There’s a perfect balance of high-adrenaline rides and relaxed attractions, along with plenty of food choices and great photo spots. Yes, it can get crowded at times, but the experience easily outweighs it. Overall, Universal Studios Singapore is an excellent destination for families. It creates unforgettable memories and is a must-visit attraction for anyone traveling to Singapore.An action-packed day filled with laughter, thrills, and memories—once is never enough. I’d go back in a heartbeat.”

★★★★★Nakrani Vaibhav· 3 months ago“Universal Studios Singapore is a great place for entertainment and fun. The park has a good variety of rides and attractions, and overall the experience is enjoyable. Most of the rides are average to good, but the standout rides are definitely the Battlestar Galactica coasters — Cylon and Human. These two rides are absolutely amazing and a must-try for anyone visiting the park. The thrill, speed, and experience are on another level compared to the rest. The park is well-maintained, and the atmosphere is lively and exciting. It’s a perfect place to spend time with friends and family. Overall, a very good experience, but if you visit, make sure you don’t miss Cylon and Human rides — they are the highlights. You should download the Universal Studios app once, whenever you check in. You will be able to view maps of the entire area within it. I have also included a photograph there—just take a look at the image below. In that photo, you will be able to see the current wait times for all the different rides. If the park is very crowded, I highly recommend purchasing an Express ticket; it is absolutely worth the cost. The Universal Express ticket is a worthwhile investment that you should definitely consider getting.”

★★★★★Nicholas Kiley· 2 months ago“A great place to go to if you have a passion for photography or trying new food and experiences! Would highly recommend!”

★★★★Kate Choi· 2 months ago“A really good get away for both local and international tourists. Free things include the sensoryscape, although it was lackluster. There's an outdoor food court called Central Brach Bazaar but it was not open when we were there on a Monday afternoon. The water fountain show can been seen for free from far away or else you'd have to purchase tickets. The beaches are ok but 2 out of 3 are heavily used by resorts people. Palawan beach has the photographic point.”

★★★★★Montawach Lew· 8 months ago“Great spot with so many things to do — from Harry Potter Vision of Magic and Halloween events to Universal Studios and relaxing on the beach.

★★★★★Cyril DSouza· 6 months ago“Sentosa Island is one of Singapore’s top leisure destinations, offering a perfect mix of beaches, attractions, and entertainment.

★★★TorontoFoodGourmand [IG & TT]· 4 months ago“Too artificial for my liking. I supposed the best parts would be the beach area, if you don’t mind seeing container ships in the distance”

★★★★grassy· 5 months ago“A crowded megamall in Singapore. Can go there directly by MRT, very convenient! The malls have so many shoplots, restaurants and cafes. A lot of branded shops can be found at here. You can go Sentosa Singapore from here too. There is a park at rooftop as well, very chilling and relaxing. Now they have new year decoration right outside of the entrance, very attractive!”

★★★★★Nikita Kimberly· a month ago“Really enjoyed visiting VivoCity 🛍️ The mall is HUGE and has pretty much everything you need. Lots of shopping, food options, cafes, and entertainment all in one place. It’s also super convenient since it connects directly to Sentosa, which makes it a great stop before or after exploring the island 🌴🚆 One of my favorite parts was definitely the terrace area 😍 The outdoor space was so pretty and relaxing, especially with the open view, greenery, and waterfront atmosphere. It felt really nice to just sit there for a while and enjoy the vibe, especially around sunset 🌅✨ Such a nice contrast from the busy indoor mall area. The mall itself was clean, spacious, and easy to walk around despite how big it is. I also liked that there were plenty of seating areas to rest between shopping and exploring. Overall, VivoCity felt more than just a shopping mall, it was honestly a really enjoyable place to spend a few hours 🤍”

★★★★Cheong Loong· 6 months ago“This mega mall that serves the residents in the west side of Singapore, has upgraded recently with the introduction of more eateries at the basement, when one exits from the mrt station. Singapore is a foodie haven , so it is important to pump in popular brands to draw the hungry working people n tourists. One can see that every outlet is packed during meal time. So it is very competitive for the shops to come up with promotional set menu to attract customers. Another local pastime is shopping, so sale events are usually held at the front podium area. The mall houses two floors for those who enjoy shopping.”

★★★★★erin· 6 months ago“So many stores to choose from, this mall is huge! The Christmas Market was great, it was lit nicely and there were a lot of good Christmas shopping options like baked goods, wrapping paper, Christmas signs and cards. Everything was very clean but since its a huge mall it does get very very busy.”

★★★★★Rosli Sulaiman· a month ago“Bugis Street is one of the best places to visit in Singapore for shopping, street food, and local vibes. The area is always lively and full of energy, with many affordable fashion items, souvenirs, snacks, and accessories to explore. Really suitable for tourists or anyone who enjoys walking around and discovering unique shops. There are also many food stalls and nearby cafés around Bugis, making it a great place to relax after shopping. The atmosphere becomes even more interesting at night with the bright lights and busy crowd. Convenient location, easy to access by MRT, and a nice place to experience the modern and local side of Singapore at the same time. Highly recommended for shopping lovers and first-time visitors to Singapore.”

★★★★★Air Tree Water· 7 months ago“I absolutely love this traditional market. It sells all kinds of goods, modern and traditional items, food and drinks, souvenirs, and various trinkets. There's also a large fruit stall outside. If you're staying at a nearby hotel and craving fruit, this is definitely an excellent choice, incredible value and extremely fresh. The food options here are overwhelming. The best way is to eat while you walk, and you can definitely eat until you're full. After you're full, there are still all kinds of desserts and drinks to enjoy. This place can easily rival traditional markets and night markets from around the world. It's highly recommended for a visit!”

★★★★★Darshana Arpan Pawar· 3 months ago“The street is always bustling with energy, filled with countless small shops and stalls offering trendy clothes, accessories, souvenirs, and much more at affordable prices. It’s a great place for budget shopping and picking up unique items. Even if you’re not planning to shop a lot, just walking through the market is an experience in itself. There are also plenty of food stalls and drink options around, so you can enjoy local snacks and refreshing juices while exploring. It can get quite crowded, especially in the evenings, so be prepared for that. But overall, it’s a must-visit place in Singapore for shopping lovers and anyone who enjoys vibrant street markets!”

★★★★★duchess anastacio· 4 months ago“We went to check on the souvenir prices and among all souvenir places we’ve been, we think bugis street has the best prices already.
