Frequently Asked Questions
1. Universal Studios Singapore
There is nothing quite like the excitement in your child's eyes when they meet their favourite characters or take their first roller-coaster ride. For families exploring Singapore with children, this theme park is often the first stop on their itinerary.
Parent Tip:
Take a stroller for toddlers–there's a lot of walking, and it will become naptime before you know it.
Download the official Universal Studios app. The app shows real-time wait times for rides as well as character meet and greet times, so you will avoid wandering the park on pointless bumps.
If your child is not a big thrill ride kid- don't worry- there are tons of shows and parades to entertain them while your older kids chase the adrenaline!
2. Singapore Oceanarium
After all the excitement of Universal Studios, you will want to slow things down a bit. Enter the Singapore Oceanarium, with enormous viewing panels and over 100,000 marine creatures, and your children will just love it. Families looking for kid-friendly Singapore attractions often find this spot both calming and fascinating.
Parents Tip:
Plan your visit for midday when the sun is hottest. It will be gentlemanly cool inside, and it's a good break for the kids from running around.
Toddlers in particular love interactive touch pools and jellyfish zones—great entertainment even while you take a little break and just sit.
Make sure you have snacks (you can't bring food in, but there are suitable cafes nearby). Excitement can make little tummies hungry.
3. Adventure Cove Waterpark
Adventure Cove Waterpark is the perfect solution for beating the heat. Why? Whether you're floating along the lazy river or splashing around in kid-safe play areas, the kids will love and enjoy it. It’s also one of the highlights when planning Resort World Sentosa toddler activities, since the park caters to both younger and older children.
Parent Tip:
You should pack swim diapers and an extra set of clothes for toddlers.
If you're visiting Adventure Cove Waterpark with young children, head straight to one of the kid-friendly play areas like Seahorse Hideaway. If you have older kids, there are some family-friendly rides like Adventure River.
Renting a cabana is a good idea if you plan to spend time at the park. It will give your family a dedicated space to nap, snack and recharge before heading back into the fun.
Bonus Tips:
Plan breaks: Don't cram everything into the same day. Balance your high-energy attractions with some calmer attractions, especially when exploring Resort World Sentosa for kids.
Hydrate: Bring a refillable bottle. Water stations are around RWS.
Capture the moment: The excitement on your child's face is totally worth the wait, and don't forget your camera!
A little planning and these simple tips for parents will allow your family to have a fun-filled, amazing day at Resort World Sentosa. So grab the suntan lotion, stroller and snacks, and get ready for a memorable day for your kids!
