Travellers heading to Singapore have four new reasons to revisit the city-state. A revamped oceanarium, a movie-themed park zone, a rainforest wildlife trek, and a giant floating obstacle course now headline Singapore’s tourism revival. Each attraction opened in 2025 and reflects the city’s push to upgrade visitor experiences with larger-than-life themes and immersive environments.
Singapore Oceanarium
Located at Resorts World Sentosa, the Singapore Oceanarium reopened after a major revamp in April 2025. The new space features 22 exhibition zones, including Coral Gardens and Ocean Wonders. Visitors can explore marine ecosystems through digital projections, life-sized animatronics, and interactive exhibits, as reported by Conde Nast Traveller. The ocean tunnel has also been expanded to include species like Scalloped Hammerhead and Sandbar Sharks. The exhibit ends with an installation that visually highlights the impact of climate change on marine life.
Minion Land at Universal Studios Singapore
In February 2025, Universal Studios Singapore launched Minion Land, replacing its previous Madagascar zone. The new area is divided into three sections: Gru’s Neighbourhood, Super Silly Fun Land, and Minion Marketplace. Attractions include Despicable Me Minion Mayhem and USS-exclusive rides like Buggie Boogie. Visitors can try Minion-themed food such as chilli crab mantou and yellow rice curry shaped like Minions.
