Going to Universal Studios Singapore for the first time? Want some tips and tricks to catch all the characters, rides and shows in a day? This guide will help you embark on your Universal Studios Singapore adventure like a true pro!<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Pre-trip Preparations<\/span><\/h2>\n

Selecting a day<\/b><\/p>\n

Universal Studios Singapore is often packed enough as it is, so aim to avoid the crowds by going on a weekday. We understand this could be hard, as you might have school or work, or even schooling children. This isn\u2019t a must, but it\u2019s one of the ways to maximise your Universal Studios Singapore experience, as there\u2019ll be shorter queues (more rides!!!). <\/span><\/p>\n

Do also check out <\/span>their calendar<\/span><\/a> in case there are ride maintenance works going on. You wouldn\u2019t want to visit and be disappointed because your favourite ride is closed for maintenance. Days with special events, parades and even fireworks are also indicated! <\/span><\/p>\n

Buying the tickets<\/b><\/p>\n

After finally choosing the day to visit Universal Studios Singapore, you\u2019re all ready to buy the tickets. But you\u2019re stumped by all the choices and available categories. What now? Fret not, this guide will lead you through so you can get the ticket that\u2019s best for your needs! <\/span><\/p>\n

There are several options when it comes to tickets. You can take a look at the complete list <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. Basically, there are four main categories you should know about:<\/span><\/p>\n

Express<\/b><\/p>\n

Express passes are recommended if you intend to visit only once (or on a weekend), as it\u2019ll help you skip long lines to a certain extent since the queues are separate from regular ticket holders. As most guests usually get the regular ticket, those queues can get really long. On the other hand, express holders can often get to the front of the \u2018express\u2019 line pretty quickly. <\/span><\/p>\n

That being said, it really isn\u2019t necessary to get an express ticket if you\u2019re going on a weekday, as the park is less packed. However, you can expect queues that go on for an hour or two during the weekends or holidays. <\/span><\/p>\n

Regular<\/b><\/p>\n

Regular passes are the standard \u2018one-day ticket\u2019 or \u2018two-day ticket\u2019. Unlike express tickets, you will not have access to the express queues. Singapore residents can purchase these tickets at discounted prices (the \u2018Singapore Resident One-Day Ticket\u2019 and \u2018Singapore Resident Two-Day Ticket). Prices also differ for adults, children and senior citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Season<\/b><\/p>\n

Season Universal Studios Singapore passes are more value for money, especially for those intending to visit more than once! Let\u2019s use the adult price ticket as an example: A one day adult ticket costs $76. The adult season pass costs $98. By paying $22 more, you get unlimited visits to the park for 6 whole months!<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need to process your ticket at the Membership Lobby inside Universal Studios Singapore (near the left side of the entrance) within 30 days of buying the ticket to receive a season pass card. The next time you visit, simply bring along the card for entry. <\/span><\/p>\n

Annual<\/b><\/p>\n

For enthusiastic theme park goers who want to take it up a notch, annual passes are also available. The application process and perks are exactly the same as that of the season pass, except that unlimited entries are valid for a year instead of 6 months. <\/span><\/p>\n

Pro Tip: <\/b>Get the passes so that they overlap with either Christmas, the New Year or both. We\u2019ll go more into this later! <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Buy the ticket online <\/b><\/p>\n

You should also purchase the ticket online to avoid long queues at Universal Studios Singapore. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re purchasing from third party sources on <\/span>Shopee<\/span><\/a> and Carousell at a lower price, always \u00a0research on the credibility of the sellers. Especially if the tickets are suspiciously cheaper than the official tickets. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pro Tip:<\/b> If you really have to get the tickets on the actual day, try to reach Universal Studios Singapore at least 30 minutes prior to them opening to avoid the lines. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
