We got to the park on our own by bus for 5 SGD literally from the hotel. I recommend it to those who love rides and a festive atmosphere. Everyone can find something for themselves. But for very young children, in my opinion, there is not much entertainment. Where it is definitely not worth wasting time is Treasure Hunters. The wait is long, but only a toddler will appreciate it. Otherwise, everything is great: themed shops, cafes and, of course, the entertainment itself.

Get ready to spend at least two hours inside of it in. The wand doesn’t seems to work when you first got it but actually it works when you are inside the experience. If you are a Harry Potter fan you will love it.

The trip to Universal Studios Singapore was amazing! The rides were thrilling and so much fun, the scenery was stunning, and the characters were adorable. The entertainment was top-notch, and the atmosphere was vibrant and lively. If you want a full day of laughter, excitement, and memorable activities, USS is the place to go! Highly recommend it!

Klook purchases tickets and scans them directly when entering the venue, which is convenient and fast, saving a lot of queuing time. When going out to play, I always check Klook to see if there are any discount tickets.

Thank you for arranging an amazing trip. The whole trip went very smoothly and we all had our best holiday ever. The trek was the highlight and we had the best guides and the staff at all the lodges were great. The trip could not have been better.
