Although our family has visited Singapore several times, it had been quite a while since our last trip. So, when I started planning our itinerary, I decided to include Universal Studios Singapore (USS).
Interestingly, last year was my father-in-law’s 70th birthday, so my husband treated him to a Trip to Singapore, where they also visited Universal Studios Singapore. However, my son and I didn’t join them on that trip, so I decided to include the theme park in our own itinerary this time.
My son and I had visited the theme park 12 years ago, when he was still young. Back then, there were several rides he couldn't try because he didn't meet the height requirements. It was nice to return after all these years and experience the park differently, especially now that he was old enough to enjoy more of the attractions.
Our Half-Day Visit to Universal Studios Singapore
Since we knew that Universal Studios Singapore wasn't that big, we decided to visit Skyline Luge in the morning and head to USS afterward. We arrived at the theme park around 12 noon.
We purchased our tickets through Klook, so entering the park was convenient. We simply scanned our voucher at the entrance and proceeded inside.
One tip I highly recommend is to download the Universal Studios Singapore app before your visit. It provides information about rides, attractions, shows, character meet-and-greets, and other activities. The app helped us plan which attractions to visit and make better use of our time instead of spending too much time figuring out where to go next.
Exploring Minion Land First
Since we had visited USS before, we decided to head straight to Minion Land. Our first stop was Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, a simulator ride featuring Gru and his mischievous Minions.
We skipped most of the shows and character meet-and-greets this time because we had already experienced them during our previous visit. Instead, we focused on the rides we wanted to try. Of course, we couldn't leave without taking photos with the Minions!
Rides and Attractions We Tried
Despite arriving around noon, we managed to experience several rides and attractions during our visit. Here's the list of what we tried:
1. Despicable Me Minion Mayhem – A fun simulator ride featuring the Minions.
2. Minion Character Photo Opportunity – We couldn't resist taking photos with these lovable yellow characters.
3. Shrek 4-D Adventure – An immersive adventure featuring Shrek and his friends.
4. Puss in Boots' Giant Journey – A family-friendly ride inspired by the adventures of Puss in Boots.
5. Revenge of the Mummy – An indoor roller coaster with thrilling turns and surprises.
6. TRANSFORMERS The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle – An action-packed 3D ride that puts you in the middle of a battle between the Autobots and Decepticons.
7. Lights, Camera, Action! – A special-effects attraction that showcases how movie disaster scenes are created.
8. Spaghetti Space Chase – A family-friendly ride in Minion Land.
9. Canopy Flyer – An aerial ride offering views of the Jurassic Park area.
10. Enchanted Airways – A junior roller coaster featuring characters from the Shrek universe.
11. Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure – A water ride through a prehistoric world of dinosaurs.
We enjoyed exploring the park and trying different attractions, from family-friendly rides to more thrilling adventures. It was also nice to see how much my son could enjoy now compared with our visit 12 years ago.
Heading Home After Our Last Ride
Our last attraction was Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure. Although the park was scheduled to close at 8:00 PM, we decided to call it a day earlier than planned.
At around 5:20 PM, we started walking back toward VivoCity shopping mall. We had already enjoyed several rides and attractions, and we were happy with how much we managed to experience in just a few hours.
Our return visit to Universal Studios Singapore was a fun way to revisit old memories while making new ones as a family. It was interesting to see the park from a different perspective after 12 years, and it reminded me that visiting the same place can feel like a completely different experience as the family grows older.
If you're planning a Singapore trip, Universal Studios Singapore is worth considering, especially if you enjoy theme parks and want to spend a day filled with rides, attractions, and family fun.
