Family Outing@Universal Studio Singapore

My sis-in-law Sheryl has got a good discount from her company to Universal Studio and with that opportunity, she purchased tickets for the whole family.

Universal Studio opened for about 2 years now and this is our first visit. We heard from friends & colleagues that it’s not that fantastic compared to the one in US. I mean… how to compare with the one in USA right…






When we arrived early that morning, I was surprised to see quite a big crowd beside Sheryl’s colleagues & their families. There were lots of tourists and some Singaporeans like us. I have been to the one in LA and I remembered it was more colorful than the one here. There were a couple of cartoon figures walking around for photo-taking session but each session lasted only for 20 minutes.


We went to take some rides which are suitable for the kids and elderly like the Madagascar. It was a slow boat ride to a tunnel where stories are being told as we sail along. When our boat sailed into the tunnel, Faith started to cry… Yes… She is afraid of the dark. We tried to calm her down and told her to wave goodbye to the animals as we moved along, she finally enjoyed the ride though it was almost at the end of the tunnel!!

The journey continued after the boat ride but it was too hot & crowded to try other rides. The queue for each ride took at least about 15 minutes. Anyway, the elderly did not want to try the rides but to spend time with their grand-children.








I personally thought the Universal Studio Singapore was not as good as the one in LA. There should be more shows and cool rides rather than shops… Anyway, there are many rooms for improvement so… hopefully it will get better in future.
