Fun! Fun! Fun! Outing At Universal Studios Singapore

What a beautiful weather to start our day at Universal Studios Singapore. The kids were super duper excited. Non stop chattering on the way to Resorts World Sentosa.

We reached the themed park at 10.30am and I thought we will be done in 3 - 4 hours time, boy was I wrong about it. We were there from opening to closing because the children just keep going non stop.

The park was divided into 7 categories, namely : Hollywood, Madagascar, Far Far Away, The Lost World, Ancient Egypt, Sci-Fi City and New York.



Once entered into Universal Studios Singapore (USS), we step into the Hollywood world. We were right on time for the street performance by 'The Cruisers'. There was a 'Sesame Street Show' too.




Next we went to 'New York' and were greeted by another wonderful performance by 'The Rockafellas'.

Children had fun at Universal Studio Singapore

'Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase' was fun too with the Sesame Street characters.
You help Elmo and Grover defeat the Spaghetti villains riding in a space vehicle.

'Sci-Fi City' was a must for the adrenaline seekers as you get to queue for the 'Battlestar Galactica' ride. Definitely a no for my timid heart. By now the weather is getting a bit hazy, so out came our masks too.

Awesome fun ride at TRANSFORMERS The Ride : The Ultimate 3D Battle

'TRANSFORMERS The Ride' was awesome, awesome, awesome!
You are a Autobot tasked with protecting the Allspark from the Decepticons. The effects were awesome, you could feel the heat of the missile when it blows up!

Revenge of the Mummy at Universal Studios Singapore

'Ancient Egypt' mummies at the entrance were really huge. 'Revenge of the Mummy' indoor ride was scary for the children, because 3/4 of the ride was in the dark. It definitely felt like a loooong ride in the dark!

Instead they queued up for the 'Treasure Hunters' jeep ride which in my opinion was pretty much nothing interesting. Don't bother to queue if it is a long queue.

At 'The Lost World' we miss the WaterWorld show as the kids were too hungry, so we had to stop for lunch. 

Friends having fun ride on Canopy Flyer at USS

 After lunch we did the 'Canopy Flyer'. We decided to do the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure last as we were be getting wet from the ride.

Talking about lunch, you will not have any problem finding food in USS. If you find the price is too steep, you can actually request for a re-entry chop at the exit. So you can have lunch outside and re-enter the themed park again.

Fun ride at Puss in Boots Giant Journey for the kids

At 'Far Far Away' the children went onto 'Puss in Boots' Giant Journey ride. It was awesome and they had so much fun. 'Shrek 4-D Adventure was interesting and fun too. Remember to choose the moving seats in order to enjoy the 4-D effects. Oh and not forgetting the junior 'Enchanted Airways' roller coaster.

Fun day at Madagascar World at Universal Studio Singapore

Next up was 'Madagascar'. We went on a 'Madagascar : A Crate Adventure' river boat ride which was quite similar to Disneyland's 'Small Small World'. 

Fun, fun, fun at Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure at USS

Last but not least we went back to 'The Lost World' for the 'Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure' as we will definitely be wet or soaked. It will be good to bring along a poncho for this ride. But it was fun for the children to get wet after a long day hahahaha.

I wouldn't consider it a huge themed park, but it was sufficient to entertain family and friends. It would be good if USS can lower down their steep entrance fees. 

We had so much fun and enjoyment that the children didn't really want to leave so early at 6pm.

HSBC TreeTop Walk | Fun Family Hike At MacRitchie Reservoir | welovedayout

The children were excited to head out for an outdoor fun after being stuck indoors for more than a month from the bad haze. 

Finally last weekend we had some clear skies in the morning, so welovedayout quickly drove out to MacRitchie Reservoir for an awesome hike to HSBC Treetop Walk.

We parked at Venus Drive and proceeded from Venus entrance towards TreeTop Walk at MacRitchie Reservoir.

Our walk started with a very welcoming guest of the forest. Seriously the monkeys were not afraid of humans. I think I'm more afraid of them.

So we started on a leisure hike towards the TreeTop Walk bridge. Along the way, we came acrocss many interesting sights.

Of course with kids it can never take an hour to reach. But it was always fun to explore the nature in a slow and relaxed pace.

There's always rest area along the walk. Hydrating and snacking is always part of a hike.

Please remember to bring along a plastic bag to throw any rubbish. We wouldn't want to contaminate the forest with unwanted rubbish which might kill the forest animals.

We went through ups and downs to reach the bridge and finally when we reached, it was an amazing sight.

The highest point of the bridge was at 25m and so our wobbly legs started when we walked slowly across the bridge.

It was a one direction traffic on the bridge and it started off from the Ranger Station via Peirce track. Do take note that the bridge closes at 5pm, so be sure to start early to avoid disappointment.

After walking on the bridge, you wouldn't want to miss checking out Jelutong Tower which has another magnificent view at the top.

It was great fun to be able to enjoy the nature as a family again. Did you have a great fun day with your family? We would love to hear your sharing with us, which fun place did you and your family head out to. 

In the meantime, stay healthy.
