Heading to Universal Studios Singapore for a family day out? We've got everything you need: current ticket prices, height restrictions for every ride, Minion Land highlights, where to eat and the tips that actually make a difference on the day.
If there’s one attraction in Singapore that can satisfy everyone from Minion-mad preschoolers to roller-coaster-loving teens, Universal Studios Singapore (USS) is a pretty safe bet. Southeast Asia’s first and only Universal Studios theme park brings blockbuster movies and TV shows to life through rides, shows, character encounters and immersive themed zones. And with Minion Land now part of the park, there’s even more reason for families to make a day of it.
Whether you’re planning your first family visit, returning with bigger kids who suddenly want all the scary rides, or simply trying to work out which attractions are worth prioritising, here’s what you need to know about Universal Studios Singapore, including tickets, height restrictions, Minion Land, food, getting there and practical tips for your day.
Quick note: Resorts World Sentosa encourages cashless payments, so bring a contactless card or use a digital wallet.
Universal Studios Singapore ticket prices 2026
Address: 30 Sentosa Gateway, Singapore 098140.
Opening hours: The official USS website currently lists 10am – 8pm, but operating hours can change, and the park advises visitors to check before their visit.
One-day tickets
Universal Studios Singapore’s official ticket page currently lists one-day tickets from $76, with pricing dependent on the ticket and date selected. Adult tickets are for guests aged 13 and above, while child tickets are for ages 4 – 12. Children under four are not included in the paid child ticket category. Check the official booking page for the price applicable to your chosen date before buying.
Tip: Book your dated ticket online and check the price for your specific visit date rather than relying on a single headline price. Ticket products and prices can change.
Universal Express Pass
Don’t fancy spending your day queueing? Universal Express allows guests to skip the regular queue at participating rides and attractions using a priority lane. It is an add-on to park admission, rather than a replacement for your admission ticket. The official USS website currently promotes Universal Express alongside ticket booking.
Whether it is worth paying extra depends on how busy the park is and how many attractions you want to cover. If your children have their hearts set on several of the most popular rides, it can be worth considering.
6-month Season Pass
If one day at USS is never going to be enough, the park currently offers a 6-Month Season Pass, which includes unlimited visits to Universal Studios Singapore for the validity period, along with perks including birthday-month benefits and invitations to special events. Check the official site for the current price and terms before purchasing.

How to get to Universal Studios Singapore
By MRT: Take the MRT to HarbourFront Station (Circle Line or North East Line), then board the Sentosa Express monorail from VivoCity Level 3 to Waterfront Station on Sentosa. USS is a short walk from there. This is the easiest and most cost-effective option from anywhere on the MRT network.
By cable car: Board from HarbourFront Tower 2 or Mount Faber for a scenic aerial ride into Sentosa. A fun option if you want to make the journey part of the experience for the kids.
By car or taxi: Drive or take a cab directly to Resorts World Sentosa. A $6 entry fee applies for private vehicles entering Sentosa on weekends and public holidays. Carparks are available at RWS. Grab is reliable and drops you right at the entrance.
Tip: Download the Resorts World Sentosa app before you go — it shows real-time ride wait times and show schedules, which is genuinely useful for planning your route through the park.

Our top rides at Universal Studios Singapore
1. Minion Land – Despicable Me Minion Mayhem
Minion Land opened in early 2025 and is now one of the most popular zones in the park — expect queues, especially on weekends. It has three distinct areas: Minion Marketplace, Gru’s Neighbourhood, and Super Silly Fun Land, with three dedicated attractions:
Despicable Me Minion Mayhem — the headline ride. Climb aboard a vehicle designed by Gru, enter his laboratory and experience the process of becoming an actual Minion via a fully immersive 4D simulation. Great for kids and genuinely impressive for adults.
Silly Swirly — a spinning ride perfect for younger kids who aren’t quite ready for the bigger attractions.
Buggie Boogie — a new carousel-style ride themed around Gru’s beloved bugs.
The Minion Marketplace is also worth a wander — look out for Singapore-exclusive collectables including Minion Zodiac figures and limited-edition vinyls you won’t find at other Universal parks. The Super Hungry Food Stand is Minion Land’s dedicated F&B outlet. Arrive early to Minion Land — queues for Minion Mayhem can hit 60 to 90 minutes by late morning.
Read our full guide to Minion Land at Universal Studios Singapore for the full breakdown.
2. Battlestar Galactica: HUMAN vs CYCLON
If you have a roller coaster fan in the family, then this is THE ride you should be getting in line for. Not for the fainthearted (nor for those under 125cm in height), you will be propelled around loops, drops and heights at crazy speeds in an intergalactic battle of duelling roller coasters. Make sure you try the red AND blue rides: our legs are still wobbling from the blue one!
Zone: Sci-Fi City
Height restrictions: Guests under 125cm may not ride.
3. Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase
Little ones (and big ones!) love, love, love this ride. Hold onto your hats while you blast on a space mission with Elmo and Super Grover to foil a dastardly plan by Macaroni the Merciless to steal all of Earth’s spaghetti! Kiddos need to be at least 92cm in height to hop on.
Zone: New York
Height restrictions: Children must be at least 92cm in height to ride. Children under 122 cm must be accompanied by a supervising companion.
4. Transformers The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle
A ride and an experience all in one fun hit, Transformers are brought to life on this fast-paced ride where you’ll join Optimus Prime as a freedom fighter in the quest to defeat the forces of evil. Kiddos need to be at least 102cm to join the adventure.
Zone: New York
Height restrictions: Guests must be 102cm in height to ride. Children 102cm to 122cm must be accompanied by a supervising companion
5. Revenge of the Mummy
A roller coaster in the dark, you say? Evil mummies, scarab beetles and high-speed scares? Enter the world of The Mummy if you dare (and as long as you are over 122cm tall). Note: Very scary! Our kiddos under age 8 had nightmares after this one…
Zone: Sci-Fi City
Height restrictions: Guests under 122cm may not ride.
6. Treasure Hunters
Take it down a notch or two after The Mummy and embark on a more sedate taste of ancient Egypt, where you and the kiddos can drive a jeep through an abandoned excavation site. Expect more of those scarab beetles but at a way more leisurely pace. This one is suitable for the whole gang.
Zone: Sci-Fi City
Height restrictions: Children under 122cm must be accompanied by a supervising companion.
7. Canopy Flyer
Soar around this mini-coaster and get a bird’s-eye view of Jurassic Park as you swing above the trees on the Canopy Flyer. Dino fans must be 92cm or taller to ride.
Zone: Lost World
Height restrictions: Guests under 92cm may not ride. Children between 92cm and 122cm must be accompanied by a supervising companion.
8. Dino-Soarin’
For the littles who are too small for the Canopy Flyer, this fun merry-go-round will still give them the chance to fly like a Pteranodon, just without the high speeds.
Zone: Lost World
Height restrictions: Children under 122cm must be accompanied by a supervising companion.
9. Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure
What starts as a seemingly gentle river ride through dino-territory rapidly turns into a scary but fun adventure the whole family will love. Expect to get wet! Pssst: If you have a child measuring under 107cm, step away from the ride. They won’t be allowed to board, and you’ll have a sobbing mess on your hands for the rest of the day. The kids get upset too.
Zone: Lost World
Height restrictions: Guests under 107cm may not ride. Children between 107cm and 122cm must be accompanied by supervising companion.
10. Puss in Boots’ Giant Journey
This one is higher and faster than it looks, so make sure your kids are prepared for a roller coaster journey through the swashbuckling tale of Puss, Kitty and some giant golden eggs. Kids need to be 100cm and above to ride this one.
Zone: Far Far Away
Height restrictions: Guests under 100cm in height may not ride. Children between 100cm and 122cm must be accompanied by a supervising companion.
11. Enchanted Airways
If you have little daredevils who are not quite ready to graduate to the bigger rollercoasters at the park, this junior coaster ticks the box. It’s pretty swift around the track, and the drops are fairly big, so definitely not one for the less brave in the family (husband: I am talking about you). The height restriction for this one is 92cm.
Zone: Far Far Away
Height restrictions: Guests under 92cm may not ride. Children between 92cm and 122cm must be accompanied by a supervising companion.

Our top tips for Universal Studios Singapore
We’re a seasoned bunch of Universal Studios Singapore fans here at HoneyKids. Amongst us, we have a brood ranging from itsy bitsy newborns to grumpy teens and all ages in between. Take note of these tips ‘n’ tricks for making things easier on your day out…
1. Don’t forget SPF!
Of course, no one would wish for a cloudy day that would rain down on all the fun activities planned, so when you’re out and about with your kids in the sun, make sure the family is well protected with sunscreen generously used. Also, pack them to reapply it whenever necessary as everyone is bound to sweat it out.
2. Be mindful of height restrictions
There’s nothing worse than promising the kiddos a fantastic day out zooming around on rollercoasters or down the rapids, only to arrive and discover they’re just one measly inch shy of having the best time of their lives. No ice cream or stuffed toy will ease the ultimate betrayal in the kids’ eyes, even if they do get to ride the merry-go-round. Check the height restrictions before you head out.
3. Hire a stroller for the bub
Pop bubba in a baby carrier for an easy way to navigate the crowds, then hire a stroller on-site when the little one needs a nap. Rentals are available as you walk through the entrance (eyes right, people) and prices start at $10. Double buggies are also available if you have two sets of weary legs.
4. Stow your stuff in the lockers
Towing kids, bags, strollers, and the kitchen sink around an amusement park is not our idea of a fun day out. Look out for locker rooms dotted around the park in the Hollywood, Sci-Fi, Ancient Egypt, and Lost World zones. These are roomy enough for bags, but if you want a bigger affair to store that kitchen sink, then look out for the bigger lockers near the entrance of Universal Studios Singapore. Prices start from $4 for one hour at the lockers in Lost World and go up to $20 a day.
5. Jump the queues with express passes
Queuing in the heat is not fun. Queuing in the heat with whiny kids is akin to poking sharp sticks in one’s eyes. Spending the extra cash on express passes is well worth it if you’re heading to the park during school holidays or at the weekend. Express tickets can be purchased as an add-on with your ticket purchase. It’s free for little ones under four years anyway, so no need to pay extra for them. Check online for the latest pricing, as it can vary during peak periods.
6. Timing is everything
Weekends, school holidays, and public holidays are inevitably chockablock all year round. If you can, go during the week (Thursday or Friday). If you have no choice but to go at peak times, then make sure you get there early before the queues build up. Psst, you can also get into the park early when doors open at 12pm. This is a great chance to grab lunch and explore, then get in line when rides start at 2pm!
7. Nursing room and baby care centre at USS
No need to feed your baby on the merry-go-round. Universal Studios Singapore has a dedicated nursing area and baby centre near the Guest Services Lobby next to the entrance.
8. Bring spare clothes in case you get wet!
Some of the rides and shows at Universal Studios Singapore involve water and you will get soggy. Watch out for the Jurassic Park River Adventure, where you can get soaked in the rapids! There are full-body drying machines available for $5, or bring a poncho. Also watch out when it rains, as much of the park is exposed to the weather.
