Universal Studios Singapore

Southeast Asia's first Universal Studios crams seven movie-themed zones — Hollywood, New York, Sci-Fi City, Ancient Egypt, The Lost World, Far Far Away and Madagascar — into a compact, walkable park on Sentosa. Thrill-seekers make a beeline for the Battlestar Galactica dueling roller coasters and the Revenge of the Mummy indoor ride; families gravitate to Shrek, the Minion Land rides and Jurassic-themed rapids. Live shows, character meet-and-greets and parades fill the gaps between queues. Being small, it can be done in a day — but go on a weekday and buy an Express pass if you hate waiting. Pair it with the neighbouring Oceanarium or Adventure Cove for a full Resorts World day.
