Universal Studio Singapore

A Sneak Peek into Universal Studio Singapore

Universal Studios Singapore, housed within Resorts World Sentosa, is one of the island’s newest gems.

The well-designed theme park holds a total of 24 attractions, 18 of which are created or redesigned specially for Singapore.

There are 7 different themed zones, all of which are based around a central lagoon.

Keeping with the movie theme, each zone is created around a blockbuster hit and makes you feel like you just stepped onto a movie set.

The Entrance

The entrance to Universal Studios proves to be as much of a hit as the interior itself.

It is located a few-minute walk from the entrance of Sentosa. Plenty of signage ensures you’ll find your way easily.

There are plenty of stores to keep your occupied on the walk over, even a vast candy store with candy-loaded trees overhead – magical even before entering movie wonderland.

An oversized spinning 3D version of the Universal logo complete with theatrical smoke is a popular spot for a photo op right outside the ticketing area.

Guests will have no problems getting around the park as it is compact in size but packed to the brim with attractions.

Step into Universal Studios and be greeted by adventures galore.

Some of the one-of-a-kind attractions, courtesy of DreamWorks Animation, found only at Singapore are the Far Far Away castle – based on the animation movie Shrek’s kingdom, and the world’s tallest dueling roller coasters based on the Battlestar Galactica television series.

The Hollywood Themed Zone

The Hollywood themed zone is the main street and shopping belt. It is modeled after the actual Hollywood Boulevard from the 70s era, it is flanked by palm trees and a replica of the famous Walk of Fame.

Expect plenty of irresistible souvenirs and scrumptious food here. Revel in the beauty of Hollywood and be prepared to be awestruck.

New York Zone

Next up is the glorious New York zone that is no different from the real city with bright lights, bustling sidewalks and classic New York City landmarks – all featured countless times in movies and television.

Street performers and special effects stage shows hosted by the legendary Steven Spielberg enhance the cityscape.

Sci- Fi City Zone

Egyptian culture in the Ancient Egypt Zone
