This adventure park is located at the heart of Sentosa. Ride your favorite Universal Studios Movie, enter their realm and experience your movie come to life. Each realm that is created is almost identical to what you would see on screens. The atmosphere changes between realm including smell, sound, mood, and ambience and movie characters. Watch the scheduled shows and let your adrenaline rush through your skin. It is recommended to purchase the Universal Express Unlimited ride ticket to skip the long queues during the peak season or wish to explore Sentosa Island due to your time constraint. Top 2 Rides Recommended by me is Transformers the Ride, and Revenge of the Mummy. This is definitely a bucket list adventure park.

Stroll through the deep blue tunnels that surround you from top to bottom and see the marine animals swim around you. Then dine at Ocean Restaurant with a spectacular breathtaking view.
ALIVE Museum
