There are so many Sentosa attractions it’s no wonder it’s one of the top 10 things to do with kids in Singapore and also makes the Top 5 most popular activities lists too.
If you’re planning to do a lot in Sentosa, the Fun Discovery Pass may be a good option.
The idea is that you buy a pass based on how many attractions you want to see (tokens can also be used to buy food and beverages). You can also top up at the various ticketing counters if you run short.
Getting around Sentosa is extremely easy with free bus and beach shuttles that run around the island, picking up visitors from the various cable car and Sentosa express stations.
Cost: 60 token Fun Pass $S60, 90 token $S90 (includes 5 free tokens); 120 token (includes 10 free tokens) $S120
Getting there: Sentosa Express – take the North-East or Circle line to HarbourFront station, take Exit E to VivoCity and go to level 3 to board the Sentosa Express; cable car - walk to Exit B in HarbourFront train station. Follow the directional signs leading to Singapore Cable Car station at HarbourFront Tower ll.

Adventure Cove Water Park
This will keep your kids busy all day! There are a stack of rides and slides or you can snorkel around Rainbow Reef checking out the 20,000 tropical fish.
At Ray Bay, you can even get up close and personal with rays at 5pm but there is an additional charge of $S60 for adults/children, who must be at least 5 years old and 107cm.
When you need a break, you can drift your way down Adventure River, which winds its way through themed areas such as a jungle, a grotto and an underwater tunnel.
There are a range of height restriction for the slides with the minimum at 107cm. Generally, children under 122cm must be accompanied by an adult.
Seahorse Hideaway has a special wading pool with water fountains for toddlers.
If you’re planning to spend the whole day at Adventure Water Cove Park, you might consider hiring a cabana, which comes with some perks such as locker hire.
Prices vary according to the section of the park with cabanas at Seahorse Hideaway costing $S88 per person for 10am-1pm or 2pm-5pm or $S138 per person for the whole day.

This beautiful stretch of beach gets especially romantic by night, with the twinkling lights of nearby ships providing a magical backdrop.

I spent about 2.5 hours there and enjoyed it although if you’ve been to aquariums in other cities, you might find it very similar.

Sentosa Nature Discovery
Get up close and personal with Sentosa’s greenery when you walk this nature trail complete with interactive exhibits, sculptures and a lookout point. If you pay close attention, you might actually catch the endangered Magpie Robin or the insect-eating plants, migratory birds and butterflies that call Sentosa home.
You can also drop into the Geology Gallery, which details how Singapore and Sentosa were formed.
Sentosa is actually similar to the main island of Hawaii in that it contains a host of different habitats. Sentosa actually contains eight different habitats including coastal rainforests, rocky seashores and wetlands.
Open: Daily 9am-5pm Cost: free Getting there: Take the Sentosa Express or cable car to Imbiah Station More information: Nature Discovery

Over 30,000sqm, this multi-sensory experience makes great use of the space between Resorts World Sentosa and the beaches. It offers many Insta opportunities over the 350m walk especially at night when the lights and digital floor projections turn on.
Open: 24 hours, ImagiNite 7.50pm-9.40pm daily

Getting there: Take the Sentosa Express or cable car to Imbiah Station and enter via the Lookout Loop; take Bus A or B to Beach Station and enter through the Glow Garden.
More information: Sentosa Sensoryscape
Singapore Cable Car
The cable car is one of my favourite things to do in Singapore. If you want to really ramp up your Sentosa visit, start or end it by riding all the way to Faber Peak, which has a whole host of entertainment and dining options – and absolutely stunning views of Singapore. On Sentosa, there are six stops, which makes it easy to get around and see everything in a day.
Open: Daily 8.45am-8.30pm
Cost: Sentosa line round tip – resident adults $S4, children $S4; others – adults $S17, children $S13
More information: Singapore Cable Car
Skyhelix Sentosa
These open-air gondolas rotate as they go up to a height of 79m above sea level. What a way to get a view – and a 360-degree one at that – all the way from Sentosa to the Keppel Bay area and the Southern Islands.
Open: Daily 10am–9.30pm
Cost: adults $S20, children $S17
Getting there: Take the Sentosa Express or cable car to Imbiah Station
More information: Skyhelix
Skyline Luge Sentosa
I’ve tried luges before but found them a bit scary. With the Sentosa Island luge though, you can control the speed so you can go as fast or as slow as you want to. Children have to be 6 years and over and taller than 110cm to ride on their own. The best idea is to get the Skyride-Luge ticket. This way you can take the chairlift to the top and luge down. It doesn’t last long but it’s a lot of fun. You have to wear helmets too so, if you’re not a fan of sharing, take a hotel shower cap along.
Address: 45 Siloso Beach Walk
Open: Monday to Thursday 10am-7.30pm, Friday and Saturday 10am-9pm, Sunda and public holidays 10am-7.30pm
Cost: 3 luge and skyrides $S33 per person
Getting there: You can go to either Imbiah Station via the cable car or beach shuttle or to the Siloso Beach Counter at Beach Station
More information: Skyline Luge
Skypark Sentosa by AJ Hackett
What’s your poison – a bungee jump from the 50m Skypark Sentosa Bungy tower or the slightly less adventurous walk along Skybridge, a 40m walkway with see-through sections or the Giant Swing that’ll hurtle you towards the beach at 120km/h?
Open: Daily 11.30am-7.30pm
Cost: $S15 from skybridge, bungy jump $S169 and giant swing $S69
Getting there: take the beach shuttle to the Mega Adventure stop and walk to Sky Park by AJ Hackett.

Southernmost Point of Continental Asia
Walk from Palawan Beach along the suspension bridge to this tiny islet to get to the southernmost tip of Asia. There are two viewing towers that give you an uninterrupted view of the South China Sea.
Open: daily 9am-7pm
Cost: free
Getting there: take the beach tram from Beach Station or walk along the beach
Trickeye @ Southside
Optical illusions always fascinate me so this is loads of fun. Using an augmented reality app, you can interact with all of the exhibits in the Trickeye Zones. The name comes from the Trompe-l’oeil technique, which turns two-dimensional paintings into three-dimensional images by using optical illusions. And if you’re a fan of the Gram, you can get some Insta-worthy selfies in the Rainbow Garden.
Address: 80 Siloso Rd
Open: Daily 11am-7pm
Cost: Adults 13yrs and above $S32, children 4-12yrs $S28
Getting there: Near Siloso Point Cable Car Station
More information: Trickeye @ Southside
Universal Studios Singapore
This is one of the most popular Sentosa Island things to do as a kid – who can resist a theme park? However, if you’ve been to Universal in the US, you’ll find this one much smaller although still very crowded.
Like most, it’s best visited first thing in the morning or at night to avoid the crowds. Queues of up to two hours are common especially on weekends.
Unless you can go on a weekday, I would recommend getting an express pass to skip the line.
It has the usual variety of rollercoasters and rides such as Revenge of the Mummy in 7 different zones. The newest is Illumination’s Minion Land; others include Hollywood, Ancient Egypt, Sci-Fi City and New York (my personal favourite).
There are height restrictions on many rides but there are some for children from 80cm.
As well as a lot of fun street entertainment and the usual meet and greet with the characters, there are shows like Minute of Minion Mayhem and the Shrek 4-D Adventure when you want to have a break and rest your legs.
Keep in mind too that they will close down rides if there’s any rain – and that does happen quite a bit in Singapore but there are pass-outs as well so you can leave and return later. Despite this, it’s still one of the must-see attractions in Singapore.
Open: Daily from 10am to 7pm. Check times on website as they change frequently.
Cost: Resident adults (13-59) $S76 off peak and children (4 to 12) $S59. Visitors $S83 adults and $S62 children. The annual passes are good value if you're planning to visit more than once.
Getting there: Go to Resorts World Station and walk down Sentosa Boardwalk to Resorts World Sentosa
More information: Universal Studios
Wings of Time
Singapore is renowned for the quality of its light and sound shows – think Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands. This show, at Siloso Beach, takes it to another level by adding in fireworks. Visitors need to book beforehand.
Open: Session 1 7.40pm, session 2 8.40pm
Cost: $S22 per person
Getting there: Take the beach shuttle to Siloso Beach
