The Minions are taking over Singapore! From brand new rides, movies and merchandise to adorable snacks and cakes, here's where to find the mischievous Minions.
Bello! We’re huge fans of Gru and his posse of pals, the small yet feisty, hilarious, denim-clad Minions. Ahead of the release of the latest movie in the Despicable Me franchise, Despicable Me 4, and Minion Land set to open at Universal Studios Singapore later this year, we go searching for the best places to find these cute creatures in Singapore.
1. JUST IN: Minion Land is coming to Universal Studios Singapore
If you haven’t heard the news already, minion fever is spreading through Singapore in hot anticipation of the opening of the brand new Minion Land at Universal Studios Singapore, opening in 2025! Look forward to an immersive new land inspired by the beloved Despicable Me and Minions franchise. Say “BELLO!” with 3 distinct areas: Minion Marketplace, Gru’s Neighbourhood, and Super Silly Fun Land, which will feature multiple rides, (a new carousel, a 4D experience and more!) plus new Minion-themed gift shops and restaurants. Dates are still kept hush-hush, but we’ll update as soon as we know!
2. See the brand new movie Despicable Me 4
We’re so excited to see the first Despicable Me movie in seven years (not counting the Minion spin-offs!) Gru, the world’s favourite supervillain-turned-Anti-Villain-agent, returns for an exciting new story in Despicable Me 4! Gru faces a new nemesis in Maxime Le Mal (Emmy winner Will Ferrell) and his femme fatale girlfriend Valentina (Emmy nominee Sofia Vergara). The family is forced to go on the run, and minion mayhem ensues! A fun adventure for the whole family.
3. ‘A Mega Despicable Summer’ at Universal Studios Singapore
Minions are on the loose on Sentosa! We’re all set for a Mega Despicable Summer happening at Universal Studios Singapore, with larger-than-life Mega Minion inflatables down New York Street! There’ll also be an all-new, action-packed live show and the first ever Minionvasion flash mob, limited edition merch available to purchase, and even minion-themed snacks. Don’t those one-eyed cupcakes look tasty? Speaking of Universal Studios, keep an eye out for the Grand Opening of Minion Land, happening later this year!
