How to Get the Best of Universal Studios Singapore

Universal Studios Singapore Opening Hours & How to Get There

Opening Hours: Doors typically open at 10:00 AM. Closing times fluctuate between 6 PM and 8 PM, depending on the day of the week and special events.

Tip from Editor: Arrive by 9:30 AM. Being at the front of the line when the gates open is the only way to hit the big rides before the crowds wake up. 

How to Get To Resorts World Sentosa & Universal Studios Singapore

  • The Sentosa Express: Head to VivoCity (HarbourFront MRT) and go to Level 3. It’s a quick, scenic monorail ride to Resorts World Station.
  • The Boardwalk: If it’s not too hot, walk! It’s a 10-15 minute stroll from VivoCity, it’s often free (or just $1), and the views are gorgeous.
  • RWS8 Bus: Catch this from the VivoCity bus stop. It takes you straight to the RWS basement drop-off.

Is the USS Express pass Worth It?

Yes, the USS Express Pass is totally worth it!

During peak hours, popular rides often reach wait times of 60–100 minutes. While arriving 30–45 minutes early can help you clear Minion Land quickly, the Express Pass makes sure you don’t spend your entire afternoon standing in line for other hits.

By using the dedicated entry lanes, you skip the regular queues for a one-time priority experience at each participating attraction.

At the SGD 88.88 price point (via the KKday 12th Anniversary Sale), it’s a high-value investment that guarantees you can see the whole park in a single day without long waits.
