“We have pegged ticket prices for Universal Studios Singapore at an incredible value compared to major theme parks worldwide” said Shirly Chen, Vice President (Sales Development), Resorts World Sentosa.

The Universal Studios Singapore passes start from a weekday rate of S$66 for an adult and S$48 for a child, with seniors enjoying a special rate of S$32. The price is between S$72 and S$36 for visits on weekends and public holidays.

The price is also attractive for tickets to visit the theme park over two consecutive days, with the highest tag being S$118 for an adult two-day pass.

“As Singapore’s IR, a place for every Singaporean, it is also our aim to reach out to everyone, not forgetting grandmas and grandpas” said Chen.

Resorts World Sentosa, will open early next year with four hotels, a casino and a host of shopping, dining and entertainment offerings, along with the Universal Studios Singapore theme-park.
