Want to check it out with your kids? Here’s a three-day Resorts World Sentosa itinerary full of family-friendly fun.
Day 1: Experience thrills at Universal Studios Singapore
Start your adventure with a bang at Universal Studios Singapore (USS)! With immersive zones, thrilling rides, and exciting live shows, it’s a great destination for a fun-filled family day.
Illumination’s Minion Land, the newest themed zone in USS, is a must-visit, as it brings to life the mischievous world of the Minions. Your kids will enjoy the Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, which features Gru, the girls—Agnes, Margo, and Edith—and the Minions. This heart-pounding, hilarious 3D motion-simulator ride “transforms” you into a Minion! There’s also the one-of-a-kind, dance party-themed carousel Buggie Boogie and the funky ride Silly Swirly that will have kids spinning and soaring to the sky with delight.
To make your visit to Minion Land more memorable, schedule a quick trip to Sweet Surrender or Fun Store. You and your kids will enjoy picking out Minion-themed souvenirs! After shopping, why not grab some lunch at Super Hungry Food Stand? Try their quirky-looking Super Silly Veggie Burger or the Unlucky Ducky Creamy Chicken Stew that features a cute, duck-shaped rice dish.
If your kids are still raring to explore USS after enjoying everything Minion Land has to offer, go ahead and visit these kid-friendly attractions, too:
Older kids and teens will enjoy Far Far Away zone’s Enchanted Airways, the roller-coaster designed after Donkey’s Dragon from the Shrek movie franchise. The younger ones will love the Treasure Hunters attraction in the Ancient Egypt zone. This family-friendly jeep ride will take them inside an Egyptian excavation site filled with surprises. Another must-try is The Lost World zone’s Dino-Soarin', which lets kids ride flying dinosaurs called Pteranodons.
Cap off your day with a delicious dinner at USS’s many dining options. For pizza, go to Loui's NY Pizza Parlor in the New York zone; for ramen cravings, check out StarBot Café in the Sci-Fi City zone; and for burger and fries, Mel's Drive-In in the Hollywood zone is the place to be.
Day 2: Splash around at Adventure Cove Waterpark
After a thrilling first day, cool off at Adventure Cove Waterpark, a paradise for water-loving families! This waterpark isn’t just about slides, it also features marine encounters and interactive play areas.
To make the most of your day at the waterpark, experience these must-try attractions. First is the Big Bucket Treehouse. This multi-level play area with slides, water jets, and a giant tipping bucket is ideal for younger kids. There’s also the Bluwater Bay, a wave pool that simulates the ocean’s tides, allowing families to float and splash around together.
You may want to check out the Dueling Racer, a competitive, side-by-side water slide where parents and kids can race to the bottom. Want to swim with colorful fish? Go to the Rainbow Reef, a snorkeling experience where families can swim with thousands of fish in a safe, enclosed lagoon. And if you want to slow down a bit, check out the Adventure River. This relaxing lazy river ride takes your family through tropical gardens, a grotto, and even an underwater tunnel.
If you and your kids are spending the entire day at Adventure Cove Waterpark, make sure to fuel up in between attractions. Snacks and cooling treats are available at the Hot Dogs and Drinks Cart and Blu Ice Treats. For something hefty and filling, check out the yummy meals at The Bay Restaurant (Check out what Adventure Cove Waterpark offers here).

Then there’s Shipwrecked!, a recreation of a sunken ship serves as a vibrant home for marine life. Don’t forget to stop by the Coral Habitat, too. Here, kids can learn about the different coral families and the importance of corals in marine life. Another must-see is the Sea Jellies Habitat, a mesmerizing display of sea jellies floating in illuminated tanks.
