If you want to unleash the inner kid within you, then try not to miss a fun-filled day at Universal Studios Singapore! Here, I’ll be sharing our USS experience and 5 things that you can expect prior to visiting the very famous theme park!

Our second day in Singapore was reserved to enjoying the thrilling rides at USS. The theme park is open from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM but you may check out USS website for the most updated operating hours. Be sure to arrive there early if you’re buying your tickets on-site. But in our case, my sister bought our tickets online prior to our arrival, so no rushing needed. A single USS ticket usually costs SGD 76.00 (PHP 2781.28) but you may score discounted tickets when you buy them online. I know, the price is kinda steep for a whole-day access but don’t bother yet, this post might convince you why your SGD 76.00 is worth it! ( or not?) Keep reading ya’ll!

How to get to Universal Studios Singapore by MRT

  • Take MRT North East Line going to Harbourfront Station.
  • Walk going to Level 3 of VivoCity Mall.
  • Go to Lobby L. It’s easy to find because it’s near the Food Republic.

After our USS trip, we then went straight to Sentosa and spent some time there. Unfortunately, we did not ride the cable car or did any tourist-worthy activity at the place. It was already pretty late when we arrived and thought to just check out the place before we go back to our accommodation. Aside from photo ops, we also tried Skyline Luge which was really fun! We had hard time convincing the adults to join us, but they eventually did. Guess what? They enjoyed it as much as we did! yaaayyy!

It was a fun and sweaty day for us! Singapore can be really sunny just like here in the Philippines. So make sure to wear breathable clothes when you’re planning to tour around Singapore. I’m happy that I was able to write again after a few weeks of procrastination. Two more Singapore related blog posts are in store for you, hope you can stick around! Ciao!
