Looking for a weekend getaway but don’t want to stray too far from home? Sentosa is the place for you! With a wide range of things to do in Sentosa given the number of attractions and venues, visitors are free to go all-out or kick back and relax. Here are 10 of our favourite things to do in Sentosa over the weekend.

Things To Do In Sentosa – Paid Attractions

1. Universal Studios Singapore

Universal Studios Singapore (USS) is the first attraction you’ll see in Sentosa! Located at Resorts World Sentosa, USS has come a long way since its official opening 8 years ago. USS’s 24 movie-themed attractions are split into seven zones, namely Hollywood, Madagascar, Far Far Away, The Lost World, Ancient Egypt, Sci-Fi City and New York. Thankfully, the small park size makes navigation considerably easy. For thrill seekers, head straight for TRANSFORMERS The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle, Revenge Of The Mummy and Battlestar Galactica. These rides are renowned for being the best in USS for their immersion and high-speed action. However, if you’re looking for kid-friendly rides, check out the Enchanted Airways and Madagascar Crate Adventure. Only got a day? Here’s how you can still catch all the USS rides & shows! Additionally, do make sure you get the express pass. It can make heading into USS during a public holiday or weekend more bearable. Waiting in line can take up to two hours so pay the extra fee if you don’t like waiting around. For more tips, check out our ultimate USS guide!

2. Mega Adventure Park Sentosa

Looking for pulse-pounding things to do in Sentosa? Double down on getting your adrenaline fix at Sentosa by visiting Mega Adventure Park! The park features four different extreme activities that aim to bring an unmatched sense of adventure. Thrill seekers will definitely have their fill of excitement as they zip-line at more than 60km/h at MegaZip, scale a 15 metre high wall at MegaWall, overcome a treetop obstacle course at MegaClimb and freefall for 15 metres at MegaJump. For kids, there’s also MegaBounce, a bungee assisted trampoline setup that allows you to bounce up to 8 metres.   Got a sudden case of cold feet? The friendly staff are more than willing to accompany and encourage you so you don’t feel pressured to go when you aren’t ready.

For those seeking respite from all the excitement, head to Southeast Asia’s largest aquarium! Marine animal lovers will feel right at home with over 100000 marine creatures from over 1000 unique species. Check out favourites like the Hammerhead Shark, Bottlenose Dolphin and Clownfish! Make sure to check out the main attraction of the aquarium: the Open Ocean Zone. Look out for schools of fish and sharks as you gaze upon the 36 metre-wide viewing panel. For the adventurous, check out the Discovery Touch Pool, where you’ll be given the chance to learn about and touch starfishes, sea cucumbers and other marine invertebrates. Also, when you’re feeling famished, have a sumptuous multi-course meal at the Ocean Restaurant, prepared by celebrity chef Cat Cora.

6. Fort Siloso + Fort Siloso Skywalk

Renowned as Singapore’s largest collection of WW2 collectibles, Fort Siloso is a haven for fans of vintage military memorabilia. Also, it’s a great opportunity to be educated about Singapore’s well-documented WW2 history. You can go on the free guided tours available every 2nd and 3rd Saturday of the month from 3pm to 4.30pm. For more details, visit the day tour page to book. For those wishing to venture 11 storeys off the ground, head to the Fort Siloso Skywalk to get a breathtaking view of the surroundings. Do note that a section of the Viewing Platform is glass-bottom, so if vertigo is a concern, this might not be the best thing to do in Sentosa. There are also a few rest stops along the way, which provide interesting tidbits of information about the area’s history. It is open all day but the lift only operates from 9am to 7pm.

Head over to Siloso Beach and join in the action! Home to a wide variety of bars and watersport activities, join in the sporty atmosphere by holding a mini beach volleyball tourney with your friends! Do note that the beach can get rather crowded and volleyball courts there are based on a first-come-first-served basis. Tanjong Beach is known for its peaceful waters and unobstructed scenic views. Visiting Sentosa with a special someone? Then visit this secluded location and enjoy the peace and quiet, away from the crowd. Build some sandcastles, try your hand at fishing at the breakwater or simply enjoy the company while gazing at the night sky.
