Sentosa was converted from a military outpost and quarries into a leisure island over the late 20th century; Universal Studios opened there in 2010 as part of the island’s entertainment development.
Conservation
The park operates on reclaimed and landscaped land; visitors can reduce impact by using refill stations, proper waste disposal, and respecting native greenery on Sentosa’s fringes.

Arrive at Park Opening
Beat the crowds by being at the turnstiles at opening; head straight to Sci‑Fi City or Transformers for the shortest waits.
Bring a Lightweight Rain Shell
Short, heavy tropical showers are common—pack a compact rain jacket to avoid long ride closures or wet queues.
Use the Express or VIP Option Strategically
If you have limited time, an Express Pass cuts queue time; the VIP option also adds guided routing and priority meet-and-greets.
Set a Clear Meet-Up Point
Mobile signals can get congested—choose a visible landmark like the Hollywood arch as a rendezvous if your group separates.
Comfortable walking shoes
Supportive shoes handle long days on pavement and quick rides of stairs and platforms.
