Universal Studios, Singapore
Plan Your Visit

Express Pass
For those with flexibility in their budget, an express pass can significantly reduce wait times. I recommend assessing the day's crowd levels prior to purchase, as it may not be necessary during periods of lower attendance.
Universal's Halloween Horror Nights (HHN)
Plan Ahead
- HHN is a separate ticketed event. Purchase tickets in advance, as they sell out quickly.
- Check the event dates and times online.
- Decide which haunted houses and scare zones you want to experience.
- Arrive before the event starts to maximise your time.
- Lines for haunted houses can be very long.
- HHN offers food and beverage options, but lines can be long.
- Stay hydrated throughout the night.
Dress Appropriately
- Wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be walking a lot.
- Consider wearing dark clothing to blend in with the atmosphere.
- Be aware that it can get hot and humid.
- Please check the official website for guidance on dressing in costumes.
Be Prepared to be Scared
- HHN is designed to be scary. Be prepared for jump scares, loud noises, and dark environments.
- If you're easily frightened, consider staying in the scare zones rather than the haunted houses.
Photography & Videography
- Photography and videography are generally allowed, but be respectful of performers and other guests.
- Flash photography may be discouraged in some areas.
Safety & Security
- Be aware of your surroundings and keep your belongings safe.
- Follow the instructions of event staff.
