Day 4: Universal Studios

We took the MRT to VivoCity (HarbourFront station) to catch the Sentosa Express Monorail to Resorts World. This is a huge integrated resort spanning 49 hectares on Sentosa Island and features a number of attractions. Today we are focused on visiting Universal Studios Singapore. We bought the Ultimate Express tickets in addition to the normal ticket so that we can skip the queues.
