Tickets
The ticket rate for a one-day pass is S$56 for children, $76
for adults, and $38 for senior
citizens. You can purchase your tickets directly from the theme park, or you
can purchase them in a package from travel companies at a cheaper rate.
Get your tickets from Adventure Tour at less than S$4 and
save your time from long queues at the entrance.
Other than entrance tickets, you can also avail Universal
Express Tickets (one-time use per ride) or Universal Express Unlimited Tickets
(unlimited use per ride) starting at S$30 (UE) and S$50 (UEU). You can use them
to avoid long lines in participating attractions including Jurassic Park Rapids
Adventure, Revenge of the Mummy, Transformers The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle,
and Battlestar Galactica: Human vs Cylon. Prices change depending on demand so
get them earlier especially during the peak season.
Best Time to Visit
You can come and visit USS any time of the year. However, if
you would like to avoid large crowds, do not go there during the weekends and
local school holidays (March, June, September, and December). Additionally, the
Fireworks Spectacular show is only available on selected Saturdays. (Check their schedule in advance: https://www.rwsentosa.com/en/attractions/universal-studios-singapore/explore)
If you already bought your tickets before heading to the
theme park, you can come in as early as an hour before the opening time. Your
family may even get featured as the “Opening Family” for the day, wherein you
have the chance to announce the theme park opening to the public and take
pictures with special characters like Woody Woodpecker (The Woody Woodpecker Show) and Po (Kung Fu Panda).
Going ahead of time also means you have the opportunity to
snap good photos at the theme park’s famous landmarks including the Sting
Alley, Far Far Away Castle, Hollywood Boulevard, Entrance Archway, and the
Universal Globe.
What to Wear and
Bring
Since the weather in Singapore is humid and you will be
walking around the theme park a lot, opt to wear something convenient.
Light-coloured cotton clothes, shorts, comfortable shoes, and an umbrella or
cap will help you survive through the day. You may also want to bring your own
sunscreen to protect your skin from prickly heat, and a poncho or any rain gear
just in case of rain showers.
Moreover, keep in mind to bring just a small bag or a fanny
pack. It will help you move freely and keep you from feeling tired from
transferring from attraction to attraction. Some rides will require you to
surrender your bags in the nearest locker station, so Adventure Tour advises
that you only carry the essentials.
It’s also best to bring your own water bottle to save you
from extra costs.
What to Do
Once you’ve reached the theme park, it’s wise to obtain
copies of the studio guide and programme sheet. This will update you with the
shows, parades, and meet-and-greets of the day.

Where to Eat
Before we give our food recommendations, it is important to
note that the best time for eating is before 12:00nn and after 2:30pm because
the restaurants can get pretty crowded in the times between.
There are eateries available in every zone. If you want a
taste of Singapore’s local delicacy, try the Laksa and Hainanese Rice from the
Discovery Food Court at The Lost World. The noodles and chicken taste
exceptionally good and come in a decent amount of serving. Otherwise, you can
grab a bite from KT’s Grill in New York. They serve some Irish-American grilled
dishes and a good blend of eastern and western cuisine.
Some also serve Halal Food. You can try munching on the
Butter Chicken Biryani Set from Oasis Space Café (Ancient Egypt), Cold Sandwich
Wraps from Friar’s (Far Far Away), or
Thai Green Chicken Curry from Marty’s Casa Del Wild (Madagascar).
If you’re looking for light snacks and refreshments, go to
Starbot Café (Sci-Fi City) or Fossil
Fuels (The Lost World).
