The 9 Best Attractions in Sentosa (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 9 picks

The best attractions on Sentosa in 2026 are Universal Studios Singapore, the new Singapore Oceanarium and Adventure Cove Waterpark at Resorts World Sentosa, plus the Skyline Luge, the cable car from Mount Faber, SkyHelix, the free Fort Siloso Skywalk and the nightly Wings of Time show on Siloso Beach.

Sentosa is a resort island joined to the mainland by road, the Sentosa Express monorail from VivoCity, a boardwalk and the cable car. Inside, free beach trams and buses link the beaches, and Resorts World Sentosa (Universal Studios, the Oceanarium and Adventure Cove) sits by the entrance. Most attractions are ticketed, so check the island's bundle deals, and allow a full day for Universal Studios alone. Midday is hot, so plan indoor attractions for early afternoon and the beaches and Wings of Time for the evening. For hotels on the island, see our Sentosa hotels guide.

1. Universal Studios Singapore — Resorts World Sentosa

Southeast Asia's best-known theme park, with Minion Land and duelling coasters.

$$$ UpmarketBest for Families · First-timers

Universal Studios Singapore packs its themed zones into a compact park at Resorts World Sentosa: the Battlestar Galactica duelling roller coasters, the Transformers ride, Jurassic Park, Ancient Egypt and Far Far Away, plus Minion Land, which opened in 2025.

It is a full day out. Families with young children will find plenty of gentle rides; thrill-seekers should head to the coasters first.

Good to know: Buy an Express Pass on weekends and school holidays; queues for the big rides get long by late morning.

4. Singapore Cable Car — Imbiah

The most scenic way to arrive, gliding over the harbour from Mount Faber.

$$ Mid-rangeBest for Couples · First-timers

The Mount Faber Line runs from Mount Faber Peak over the harbour to Sentosa, with a stop at HarbourFront Tower Two, and the separate Sentosa Line links Imbiah to Siloso Point. The views of the port, the city and the island are the best you can get without a helicopter.

5. Skyline Luge Sentosa — Imbiah

Gravity-powered luge carts down a forested hill to Siloso Beach.

$$ Mid-rangeBest for Families · Couples

The Skyline Luge sends you down winding tracks through the forest in gravity-powered carts that you steer and brake yourself, from Imbiah to Siloso Beach, and the Skyride chairlift carries you back up with sea views.

It is the most fun-per-dollar attraction on the island and works for children old enough to ride with an adult.

Good to know: Buy a multi-ride ticket; almost everyone wants a second go.

6. SkyHelix Sentosa — Imbiah

An open-air spinning gondola that lifts you high above the island.

$$ Mid-rangeBest for Couples · First-timers

SkyHelix is an open-air platform that rotates slowly as it rises above the hilltop at Imbiah, giving 360-degree views over Sentosa, the harbour and the city.

It is short and calm rather than thrilling, and best at sunset.

Good to know: Book a sunset slot and combine it with the cable car on the same ticket bundle.

7. Fort Siloso and the Fort Siloso Skywalk — Siloso

Singapore's only preserved coastal fort, reached by a free treetop walkway.

Best for Families · Budget

Fort Siloso guarded the western approach to Singapore's harbour and is now a military museum with tunnels, gun emplacements and exhibits on the Second World War. The Fort Siloso Skywalk, a tall lift tower and treetop walkway, leads to it from Siloso Beach.

It is the one place on Sentosa with real history, and the skywalk alone is free.
