Things To Do In Sentosa \u2013 Paid Attractions<\/h2>\n

1. Universal Studios Singapore<\/h2>\n

Universal Studios Singapore (USS)\u00a0is the first attraction you\u2019ll see in Sentosa! Located at Resorts World Sentosa, USS has come a long way since its official opening 8 years ago. USS\u2019s 24 movie-themed attractions are split into seven zones, namely Hollywood, Madagascar,\u00a0Far Far Away, The Lost World, Ancient Egypt, Sci-Fi City and New York. Thankfully, the small park size makes navigation considerably easy.\u00a0For 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\u2019re looking for kid-friendly rides, check out the Enchanted Airways and Madagascar Crate Adventure. Only got a day? Here\u2019s how you can still catch all the\u00a0USS rides & shows<\/a>!\u00a0Additionally, 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\u2019t like waiting around. For more tips, check out our\u00a0ultimate USS guide<\/a>!<\/p>\n
