Universal Studios in Singapore
We had a short layover in Singapore so we decided on a few things we really wanted to do - one of them was Universal Studios Singapore. Whilst it wasn’t as big or offered as much as Universal in the US, there was still plenty to do. To maximise your adventure we recommend arriving at opening (10am).
Our hotel was located 5 minutes walk from Universal Studios and Malaysian Food Street - Malaysian Food Street offers really affordable and delicious meals (we preferred the food here compared with what was available at Universal Studios).
Universal Studios Singapore features over 24 attractions across seven themed zones, including both thrill rides such as Battlestar Galactica and family-friendly experiences like Shrek 4-D Adventure, with new additions in 2025 including Super Nintendo World and Minion Land.
