Sentosa Island is a must visit place in Singapore 🇸🇬. The island is easily accessible with public transport. We can reach there either by walking, or by train, or cable car. This is the place where the Universal studio, Minion land and many more exciting adventures await you. It is better that you experience the place by walking and by travelling in the mono-rail. The place has a beach that is very clean and beautiful. You can enjoy your day by exploring each and every attraction that is arranged systematically. The place is a little crowded, so it's better to visit the place on weekdays.

‘Sentosa Island’ – Fun Pass with 130 tokens 1. Reaching: a. Most probably you will be dropped nearby to Casino 2. Suggestions: a. Start with an attraction close to entry itself – like ‘Harry Potter – Visions of Magic’ b. Continue to move towards the beach gradually. c. Take the ropeway pass. Tokens can be utilized for combined pass of Sentosa and city lines. d. Sentosa line: Merlion station (reach through tall escalators) – Imbiah lookout (Indian food at ‘Kailash Parbat’ restaurant near this station) – Siloso point station (Beach) e. Use free shuttles to travel along the beach between siloso point & ‘Beach Station’ (Train station) by 7 PM. This is where the ‘Wings of Time’ show happens. f. All attractions / activities do not accept tokens, check at counters or information desks. g. There is a small Indian food shop near beach station also. (Veg + non-veg) h. Carry umbrella/ raincoat i. Carry your own water bottle – refill points are available across the island. 3. Way-out/ Pick-up a. Your pick-up will most probably be from near the Beach station at the coach-park. Harry Potter - Visions of Magic is a must.
