From moon jellies to manta rays: a mesmerising new world opens in Singapore
Universal Studios Singapore The ground is hot; the lines are long; the smell of fairy floss sticks to the air; and the clattering sound of rollercoasters batter overhead. This is Universal Studios Singapore, a theme park that spans about 25 hectares and features seven imagination zones. Daredevils will enjoy the Revenge of the Mummy rollercoaster, a dark, indoor rollercoaster with pyrotechnics, as well as the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, where riders traverse river rapids past towering animatronic dinosaurs. At one point, the kid next to me said, "You're going to want to hold on now." HOT TIP: Limited Express Passes, from $S90, give riders the ability to cut the queues. While it feels a bit wrong to overtake people who have stood in line for hours, it's a rare luxury for those who want to buy their time back. Harry Potter: Visions of Magic Even the most muggle-minded will be converted by the art-meets-technology Harry Potter: Visions of Magic experience. Melt into childlike bliss as you wave your wand, casting spells and conjuring light effects through 10 immersive rooms, including Ministries of Magic and the Chamber of Secrets (a Singapore exclusive). HOT TIP: Our guide tells us the best time to visit is on a weekday around 2pm or 3pm to beat the crowds. Adventure Cove Waterpark Singapore doesn't do seasons - it does summer on repeat. Adventure Cove Waterpark is the perfect place to escape the heat on holiday with the kids. Grab a ring flotation device and start your journey with the Adventure River, which winds through 14 themed zones - past stingrays, underwater tunnels and jungle scenes. GOOD TO KNOW: Expect to paddle (or walk) your way down the Adventure River as there is no current to pull you along. The waterslides are also a must. Grillfest Every year, Sentosa Island hosts a food festival on Siloso Beach throughout July/August. Popular with locals, GrillFest includes live music and countless stores selling meats and seafood. HIGHLIGHTS: The grilled lobster and cocktails infused with fruit and herbal teas from Gryphon Tea Company.
