Reviews from Real Guests:

게종이: If you hear in Singapore, it's a really good choice to invest in Universal Studios for a day! There are many attractions, many cute and famous characters, so it's really good to have everything to see. Sometimes if you're lucky to go, there are few people who can ride without waiting in line! But there were many people every time I went.. If you have time and money, it's a good way to buy an attraction pass. Universal is beautiful because the lights are shining at night, so it's not a waste to enter the opening time and come out at the closing time !!

황가박당: I went on a family trip on December 1 (off-season) in Singapore ~ December rainy season ... It would have been nice to have rained more ... It's very hot and sunny! In that sense, I think express is also a must !! 3500 won a bottle of water? The food is not to mention expensive, but the attractions were fun so I wanted to be ... day ~ Mummy (Piramito Mira) is more daunting and scary than I thought ... Transformer Wan recommended !! Even if you come to Singapore again next time, Sentosa and Universal want to come back ~

Reviews from Real Guests:

Serra Lestati: Various kinds of fish species are here. The queue here is the longest. It's also dark inside, so we have to be careful with our luggage and small children. Tips if you want to come here, bring snacks as much as possible, there is a place to sit on the floor enjoying a large aquarium with a view of fish in front of our eyes, seriously, we have to stop here to enjoy this. Because from the beginning we will be introduced to various species of fish, which we will be tired after walking around from one fish house to another. Suitable for families with children, they will be happy to be able to at the same time learn to see fish directly!

ALWL: Queue was relatively short and did not take long. Place may be small but the journey was long as they could strategically twirl around the place to create a route that can enable visitors to have new things to see constantly.

Day 2 | Afternoon

Having the chance to enjoy the charming S.E.A. Aquarium, Singapore Flyer next to it is another great place that you will never want to miss!

Reviews from Real Guests:

Reamy: Singapore Flyer is one of the best ride to see and admire Singapore's Skyline. It has an audio (in English) which explains the different areas as you rotate, its background, and a little trivia. Each capsules is air-conditioned and ensures safety of each passengers. When we visited, they have this Barbie-themed capsule...talking about nostagia. They also have a passenger lounge (especial tickets) and like most of the attractions here in Singapore, at the end of your ride, there's a souvenir shop and you can look at your photos which taken before boarding and decided wether to take them or not. It costs sgd25.

Trip.com User: It is a very nice Ferris wheel across the lake from the world famous Marina Bay Sands hotel. When you go in ticketing goes very fast and smooth. There is some shops on your way to the Ferris wheel such as the flight simulator place. The Singapore flyers cars on the Ferris wheel are big and made out of glass each of them can seat about 15 passengers. The scenery up there is unimaginable, bright lights from everywhere and beautiful buildings surrounding you it’s just magnificent. I highly recommend the Singapore Flyer to anyone that comes to Singapore this Ferris wheel in my opinion is better than the London Eye!

Reviews from Real Guests:

HapiPinki: I personally feel that the most recommended activity to Singapore is to visit the night safari, take the park car at night, very forest adventure feeling! The opportunity to see animals at night is rare, elephant, lion, bear, deer can be clearly seen. Must see the animal show, host humorous, animals are performing their instincts, not through training, very good! Finally remember not to forget to visit the zoo souvenir shop, the animal-shaped doll builders are very careful, not the style seen in the toy store outside the park, really want to take them all home! Unfortunately, there is no chance to walk for the tourists walking trails, will go again next time.

Trip.com User: All of the safari's offered at Singapore Zoo are good. However Night Safari is by far the best. Jump on board one of the trams for a commentary in multiple languages (dont forget headphones) about the wonderful animals they have. Their are multiple walks around the area as well as a night time show. All of the animal conditions are great and you can get up close to them all. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Racheldiaryjourney: Amazing! the best Zoo I have ever visited! So many animals, the layout of the parks are designed fabulously! There are four parks in total, Singapore Zoo, River Wonders, Night Safari and birds park. The first three parks are all located in the same area! The biggest park is the Singapore zoo and you can spend one day just on that park, however, We managed to finish all 3 parks in a full day! Staring from 9:00 am to 10:30 pm. They are huge with lots of different wild animals. The birds park is located somewhere else and you need to take a transport to get there. The Night Safari, has two routes one with Safari and one you just take a walk which you will see different animals in each route. The panda is located in River Wonders park. I would highly recommend visiting all parks if you are a visitor like me! there is a lot activity so it’s recmmmended to visit the park early

wertyyy: Taman bermain fauna yang dikelola dengan baik sehingga menjadi salah satu tempat hiburan yang menarik dan edukatif bagu anak2. Ada beberapa binatang jinak yang tidak dimasukkan ke kandang kecil agar dapat berinteraksi langsung dengan manusia. Salah satunya binatang ini, lupa namanya. Sumoah, lucu banget dan bikin gemes. Tapi tetap harus hati hati, bagaimanapun mereka tetap makhluk liar yang bisa sewaltu-waktu menyerang manusia.
