Madame Tussauds Singapore: what each ticket includes, 66 wax figures, last entry 5pm

Madame Tussauds Singapore sits at Imbiah Lookout on Sentosa. Here is what each seller puts inside the same ticket, how adult and child pricing works, which figures stand in the nine zones, and when the doors stop letting people in.

1. What one ticket actually contains

The same museum visit carries different contents depending on who sells it. The museum stands on SentosaMap. The attraction’s own ticket holds the Jumanji 4D show; the Sentosa store’s ticket holds a digital photo it values at S$20.

The core is identical either way. Every ticket brings the wax galleries, Images of SingaporeMap, the Spirit of Singapore boat ride and the Ultimate Film Star Experience. That block is what you are paying for, and the price separates only over what gets stacked on top of it.

This is where ticket comparisons go wrong. A cheaper-looking option can end up costing more once you buy the missing piece at the counter.

What each seller bundles

SellerCore fourJumanji 4DDigital photo
Attraction siteIncludedIncludedNo
Sentosa storeIncludedNoIncluded
KlookIncludedNoOn some packages
KKdayIncludedNoIncluded, with a snack and drink
The digital photo has a printed value: the Sentosa store product description puts it at S$20. If nobody in your group wants the file, subtract that before you compare.

Two decisions before you pay

Settle two things and the ticket picks itself. Do you want to sit through the 4D show, and do you want the photo file to take home. Wanting both means buying one and adding the other at the counter.

Wanting neither points at Klook’s early-admission ticket, the lowest number of the lot, though it only lets you in between 10am and 1pm. Attraction prices across the city are gathered in the Singapore travel budget.

2. Every price, side by side

Even the list price changes with the seller. For the same visit the attraction site calls S$34 the walk-up rate, the Sentosa store and Klook both print S$44, and KKday prints S$56.50.

Percentages are therefore useless here. A ticket advertised at 63 per cent off can cost more than one at 30 per cent off. Put the amounts you actually hand over next to each other and ignore the strike-throughs.

List prices differ because each seller measures against a different bundle. Some start from the walk-up rate at the door, others from a package that already includes photos and snacks.

Klook, with digital photoS$38Dated, free cancellation available
KKday, photo plus snack and drinkS$42No cancellation

Combination packages

Klook stacks other things on the same admission. An island bus tour brings it to S$60.50, and an orchid perfume workshop with a 30ml bottle brings it to S$118.75. One Klook-exclusive package throws in a S$50 dining voucher at VivoCityMap while holding the price at the same S$38 as the plain photo ticket.

One package covers your ride there: KKday sells the admission with a Grab travel pass attached for S$33 to S$36. If you plan to reach Sentosa by car, that changes the arithmetic.

Anyone visiting several paid attractions in one day should look at the multi-attraction passes instead. This museum sits inside the Go City Singapore pass as a four-in-one experience. The pass maths is in the Singapore attraction pass comparison.

3. Adult, child and the rate the official site hides

Adult pricing starts at 13, child pricing covers ages 3 to 12, and under-3s go in free.

Exactly one page states this: the Sentosa store product description. The attraction’s own ticket page prints both of its products “per child” and never shows an adult figure, which is how a family of four ends up budgeting the wrong number.

The attraction’s booking screen also offers a single quantity box. A group mixing adults and children sees the real total more clearly on the Sentosa store.

Rates by age

BandAgeSentosa store online
Adult13 and overS$38
Child3 to 12S$26
InfantUnder 3Free
SeniorNo separate bandAdult rate
Two adults and two primary-school children come to S$128 through the Sentosa store. Budgeting four adult tickets overshoots by S$24.

No senior rate here

Plenty of Singapore attractions price over-60s separately. This one does not, so parents and grandparents pay the adult rate. Places that work well with older travellers are gathered in Singapore with elderly parents.

The boat ride draws its age line somewhere else: anyone 12 or under, or shorter than 1.4m, rides with an adult. The age that sets your price and the age that sets your access are two different numbers.

4. The two discounts only residents get

Two discounts appear on the booking screens and neither is open to visitors. Sentosa Islander membership and the SG Culture Pass.

Strip both out before you read a price table, because they sit alongside the public rates and make the ticket look cheaper than it will be for you.

There is no route in for a traveller. Islander membership verifies residency at sign-up, and the Culture Pass pays from a balance issued to citizens.

Resident-only discounts

SchemeWho qualifiesAmount
Sentosa IslanderSingapore residentsS$9.80 adult, S$8.60 child
SG Culture PassSingapore citizensPaid from the pass balance

Sentosa puts the Islander saving on this museum at up to 27 per cent. Membership itself is free, but eligibility is tied to living here.

What a visitor can still take off

Three reductions are open to everyone. Booking online with the attraction saves S$5 against the walk-up rate, the Sentosa store applies an online-only S$6, and resellers run their own promotions. None of the three asks where you are from.

Buying at the door almost always costs more: on the attraction site alone that is S$29 online against S$34 in person, and a ticket bought ahead skips the counter queue.

5. Opening hours and the hour that decides your visit

Doors open at 10am and close at 6pm every day, and the last people are let in at 5pm. No day of the week differs.

One place to be careful: KKday lists the museum as open until 7pm with last entry at 6pm. The attraction site and Sentosa both say 6pm and 5pm.

The number worth planning around is last entry rather than closing time. An hour separates them, and arriving inside that hour means watching other people finish their visit.

Where the sources disagree

SourceOpensLast entry
Attraction site10am5pm
Sentosa official10am5pm, VR redemption also 5pm
KKday product page10am6pm
Trusting the KKday hours and turning up at 5.30pm means being turned away. The same page still carries a last-showing time for the Marvel 4D film that has already closed, so treat that whole timetable as out of date.

Days with a private event

The museum occasionally opens at noon because of a private booking. Those days are flagged at the top of the official homepage and on the Klook product page. Last entry stays at 5pm on those days, which leaves five usable hours instead of seven.

Check the notice the day before an afternoon visit: opening time moves, last entry does not, so a late plan is the one that needs verifying.

6. Sixty-six figures across nine zones

The official site gives 66 figures a page of their own. The marketing line says more than 80, and both can be true at once.

Figures rotate. Short-run guests stand for a few months and go home, and only the longer-serving ones get a profile page. Going for one particular face means checking the booking page first.

The zones run in sequence, so nobody has to double back. Where you spend your time depends on where the faces you know happen to be clustered.

Figures by zone

ZoneFiguresWhat it is
IIFA Awards9An Indian film awards stage, recreated
Sports9Football, cricket, basketball, swimming

Spirit of Singapore boat ride5Seen from a moving boat
Images of Singapore0Sets and avatars instead of profile pages
Touching is allowed: the official FAQ says so directly, with a request to be gentle. Photography is fine throughout the public galleries.

Two of them were never people

Among the 66 are a Singaporean sitcom character, Phua Chu Kang, and the alien from E.T. Eight of the figures are of people who have died, including Lee Kuan Yew, Yusof Ishak, Queen Elizabeth II, Sridevi, Wong Ka Kui, Huang Wen Yong, Marilyn Monroe and Muhammad Ali.

Wax figures on display inside a Madame Tussauds gallery
The figures are split across nine zones, and visitors may touch them.

7. Whose faces fill the rooms

India supplies more figures than anywhere else, eighteen of them. Western celebrities reach a similar count but arrive scattered across four zones.

The Indian figures behave differently. Six stand in the Ultimate Film Star Experience and nine in the IIFA Awards zone, with two cricketers and a prime minister elsewhere, so fifteen of them appear in two consecutive rooms.

The mix reads as a response to who walks through the door. Visitors to Singapore skew heavily towards India, Greater China and Southeast Asia, and the casting follows.

Figures by region

RegionFiguresMostly in
Western20Sports, Music, TV & Film, A-List
India18Ultimate Film Star, IIFA Awards
Singapore11Boat ride, History & Leaders, Sports
Greater China10A-List, Music
Southeast Asia5History & Leaders, Music, Sports, K-Wave
Korea4K-Wave
How many faces you know is personal: almost nobody recognises all 66. Skip past Indian cinema or Mandopop and two whole rooms go quickly, which pulls your visit towards the shorter end of the two-to-three-hour range.

The eleven Singaporeans

This is the part no other Madame Tussauds has. First president Yusof Ishak, founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew and second prime minister Goh Chok Tong stand in History & Leaders; footballer Fandi Ahmad and swimmer Yip Pin Xiu in Sports. Actor Zoe Tay, singer JJ Lin, director Jack Neo, songwriter Dick Lee and the late actor Huang Wen Yong are spread across the rest.

8. What a London visitor will find missing

This branch was cast for Asia, and a visitor who knows the London original notices the difference within two rooms.

The Hollywood and pop names are here, twenty of them, but they never occupy a room on their own. Zendaya and Scarlett Johansson share the A-List with Andy Lau and Michelle Yeoh; Dua Lipa and Harry Styles share Music with JJ Lin and Joker Xue.

The building also does something no other branch does. Two of its four core experiences are about Singapore rather than about celebrity at all.

What only this branch has

FeatureDetail
Spirit of Singapore boat rideThe only boat ride in any Madame Tussauds
Images of SingaporeA two-century history walk-through, included in the ticket
Ultimate Film Star ExperienceAn Indian cinema audition you take part in
IIFA Awards zoneBuilt around an Indian film awards ceremony
Two of the 66 are fictional and eight are of people no longer living, so the celebrity-spotting count for any one visitor lands well below the headline number.

How the English-language write-ups go stale

Search results still describe a Marvel 4D cinema as a highlight here. That show has closed, and the replacement is a Jumanji film. Anything written before that change also predates the rebuilt Images of Singapore, which now runs on interactive screens and AI avatars.

Other indoor options for a wet afternoon are collected in Singapore on a rainy day.

9. Images of Singapore and the four avatars

Images of Singapore is a history walk-through attached to the wax galleries, and it comes with the ticket. Two centuries are rebuilt as sets you walk between.

It was rebuilt recently. The visible change is four AI-driven digital humans that answer questions put to them on screen.

The four cover different periods, so the sequence runs from the founding of the port through to the war years.

Who you can talk to

AvatarWho they are
Sir Stamford RafflesThe British official who established the port
Ah MeiA Samsui woman, one of the construction labourers
A Chettiar moneylenderSouth Indian financier of early trade
AhmadA soldier of the Malay Regiment

Sets, screens and costumes

Beyond the avatars there are coolie quarters and old Chinatown streets to walk through, and time-portal screens that put the same location then and now side by side. Multi-touch panels carry the stories behind landmarks, with quizzes and a leaderboard attached.

There is a costume station, and the mural of a Samsui woman is signposted as the photograph spot.

This is the only part on two levels: the wax galleries are single-storey, but Images of Singapore runs upstairs and down. A lift covers it, and at the end the same lift brings you down to the boat ride.

10. A boat ride that lasts three minutes

Spirit of Singapore is a three-minute boat ride, and no other Madame Tussauds in the world has one.

The route runs through a tropical garden, past the Formula One night race and the Singapore FlyerMap, and finishes with an aircraft passing overhead. Five figures stand along the water, which means those five cannot be seen on foot.

Boats run continuously and the queue moves quickly. There is no going back for a second look, so have the camera ready before you board.

Riding conditions

ConditionDetail
Adult requiredAge 12 and under, or shorter than 1.4m
Babes in armsNot permitted
WheelchairsNot accommodated; riders must transfer themselves
DurationAbout three minutes
The five along the water are Dick Lee, Huang Wen Yong, Jack Neo, Phua Chu Kang and Sebastian Vettel, a line-up weighted towards Singaporean popular culture.

Skipping it is allowed

Anyone who would struggle to board can bypass the ride. Tell the host bringing you down from Images of Singapore and they will route you around it. Nothing else in the visit depends on having been on the boat.

11. The Ultimate Film Star Experience and IIFA

The Ultimate Film Star Experience puts you through a mock Indian film audition, and it is included in every ticket.

You act and dance alongside six Indian actors in wax. The IIFA Awards zone sits immediately next door, so fifteen Indian figures arrive back to back.

The two rooms do different jobs. One asks you onto a stage, the other is a recreated awards ceremony you walk through.

Who stands in each

ZoneFigures
Ultimate Film Star ExperienceKajal Aggarwal, Karan Johar, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Priyanka Chopra, Sridevi, Varun Dhawan
IIFA AwardsAnushka Sharma, Hrithik Roshan, Kajol, Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan, Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Shah Rukh Khan, Shahid Kapoor

When the names mean nothing to you

Visitors who do not follow Indian cinema find this stretch long. Read the labels and walk on and it takes under ten minutes; join the audition and it stretches to half an hour. On a tight schedule this is the cheapest place to save time.

Fully step-free: the official accessibility notes list the Ultimate Film Star Experience as completely accessible to wheelchair users.

12. The Jumanji 4D cinema

A Jumanji-themed 4D cinema has been added, and the attraction site already includes it in both of its tickets.

Seats move, and wind and water come with the film. Rhinos, ostriches and anacondas charge the screen in a short sequence built the way other 4D theatres are.

The film itself is brief, under ten minutes like most of the format, and on a busy afternoon the queue outlasts the show.

Where it is sold

SellerJumanji 4D
Attraction site, S$29 onlineIncluded
Attraction site, S$39 onlineIncluded, with VR Racing
Sentosa storeNot included
Klook and KKdayNot included
Sentosa still says it is coming soon: two official sources describing the same product differently is normal, and the operator of the attraction is the current one. Buy from the attraction site if the 4D show matters.

Taking children in

No height or age restriction is published for this cinema. The seats move and the sound is loud, so a child who startles easily is better off away from the front. Water effects mean clothes get slightly wet.

13. What replaced the Marvel 4D show

The long-running Marvel 4D film has closed, and visitors since then receive a snack and a canned drink instead.

You collect them at the gift shop counter. Resellers put the value at S$8.50; the snack is a choice of muruku, popcorn or vegetable crackers, and the drink a choice of tea, water or a grapefruit soda.

Marvel was a reason people came. Its closure emptied a slot in the route, and Jumanji has taken it.

Where the old wording survives

PageWhat it still says
Official zone overviewLists a Marvel 4D Experience as a zone
Official FAQNames Marvel Universe among the zones
Official menu and inner pagesMarvel gone, Jumanji in its place
KKday product pageCarries the closure notice and a Marvel last-showing time together
Anyone planning around the Marvel figures and film needs a different plan. A large share of the guides in search results still lead with Marvel as the signature experience here.

Claiming the replacement

Mention it to staff on entry. Resellers note that supply can run out, so it is not guaranteed on a given day. It applies regardless of which ticket type you hold.

14. VR Racing, Thrill Coaster and the height limits

VR Racing needs riders to be 12 and at least 1.4m tall; Thrill Coaster starts at 0.9m.

A primary-school child can usually ride one and not the other. Measuring at home before you choose a ticket saves an argument at the counter.

Both run separately from the galleries. If your ticket does not include them you buy at the counter inside, and each has its own queue.

Conditions on each

Minimum height1.4m0.9m
Minimum age12None published
WeightUp to 120kgUp to 272kg per platform
DurationAbout 10 minutes with briefingAbout 10 minutes with briefing
WaiverRequiredRequired
A history of heart or back conditions, epilepsy or schizophrenia rules out VR Racing. Neither ride is recommended during pregnancy or soon after surgery or illness, and wheelchair users cannot ride either.

Buying it without a museum ticket

VR Racing is sold on its own at the retail counter, so it can be done without entering the galleries. Vouchers stop being exchanged at 5pm, which means a late-afternoon ticket can go unused.

Skip it if you get motion sick: the operator warns about nausea before selling, and there are no refunds afterwards.

15. Changing or refunding a ticket

Only tickets bought on the attraction site change free, up to five times, until an hour before the booked slot.

Everywhere else writes its own rules. Afternoon storms are common enough in Singapore that the ability to push a visit by a day has real value.

The attraction is the most flexible seller, and the deeper the promotion, the tighter the terms attached to it.

From buying to walking in

  1. Decide whether you want the 4D show and whether you want the photo file.
  2. Buy from whichever seller bundles that, up to two hours before the visit.
  3. If you bought outside the attraction site, book a time slot on the official slot page.
  4. Show the QR code at the Imbiah LookoutMap entrance on the day.
  5. If your ticket includes a VR experience, collect the voucher at the admission counter first.

The time slot people forget

Tickets bought anywhere other than the attraction site need a slot booked separately on the official site. Open-dated tickets and annual passes use the same page. Skip it and entry is not guaranteed on the day.

No seller refunds. The operator also states that closures of individual experiences for maintenance or unforeseen reasons do not trigger a refund, and re-entry is not allowed, so leaving means buying again.

16. Going with young children

Prams cannot come inside. They are left at a drop-off point outside the entrance, and the museum takes no responsibility for anything left with them.

There is no nursing room and no baby change table either; the official FAQ says the toilets have neither. Food and drink cannot come in, and that covers baby food.

For an indoor attraction this is a long preparation list. Against that, being out of the heat and the rain counts for a lot with children.

What is and is not allowed

ItemAllowed
Prams insideNo, leave at the drop-off point
Nursing room, change tableNeither exists
Food and drinkNo, including baby food
Babes in arms on the boatNo
Under-3 admissionFree
With a walking child the building is easy: one level, indoors, figures that may be touched and plenty of places to pose. With a child still in a carrier, the list above gets in the way.

Which rooms hold their attention

The boat ride, Thrill Coaster and the costume station land best. The Indian cinema rooms and the political leaders go past quickly. Plan two hours and weight the first half more heavily.

Eat before you go in: there is no restaurant inside and nothing may be carried in, so the food stops around Imbiah Lookout or down at Beach station are the practical option. More family planning is in Singapore with kids.

17. Visiting in a wheelchair

Wheelchair users are welcome, but only two chairs are admitted at a time. The museum asks for advance notice and cites safety for the limit.

No chairs are available to hire, so bring your own. There is a dedicated drop-off point at Imbiah Lookout.

Because the answer changes room by room, it helps to have the whole route mapped before arriving. Most of the visit works in a chair, with the boat ride and the two VR experiences as the exceptions.

Access by section

SectionAccess
Wax galleriesSingle level, fully accessible
Ultimate Film Star ExperienceFully accessible

VR Racing and Thrill CoasterNot available
The drop-off point is on the left after the roundabout on Imbiah Road, opposite the Luge, marked with a blue and white wheelchair sign. If the route from the car park proves difficult, the hotline will send a team member out.

Call ahead

With only two chairs admitted at once, arriving to find both places taken means waiting. Notice in advance secures entry, according to the official guidance. Related planning is in Singapore with elderly parents.

18. Four ways to reach the door

The Sentosa Express to Imbiah stationMap lands closest. Board on level three of VivoCity and get off at the second stop.

By cable car it is Imbiah Lookout station and a three-minute walk. Public buses and the free island shuttles both work, so the best route depends on where you start.

Imbiah Lookout sits on a hill. Every approach finishes with a climb, so on a hot afternoon pick the one that makes that climb shortest.

The approaches

MethodGet off atWalk
Sentosa ExpressImbiah stationA few minutes, following car park signs
Cable carImbiah Lookout station3 minutes
Public bus 123Village HotelA few minutes
Free island buses A and CImbiah LookoutOne stop from Beach station
Boardwalk on footFrom VivoCity30 minutes, per the attraction
From VivoCity to the entrance

  1. Get off the MRT at HarbourFrontMap and go up to level three of VivoCity.
  2. Board the Sentosa Express.
  3. Alight at Imbiah, the second station.
  4. Follow the signs towards the Imbiah Lookout car park.
  5. The red carpet at the entrance is the arrival point.

Walking in over the boardwalk

The attraction puts the walk from VivoCity at 30 minutes. Entering the island on foot is free, but Imbiah Lookout is uphill from the boardwalk, so there is a climb after the walk. With luggage or in midday heat, the Express or a bus is the sensible call.

Island buses cost nothing: routes A and C run from Beach station to Imbiah Lookout in one stop, and getting around the island is free however you arrived. Every route on and off Sentosa is in the Sentosa island guide.

19. Parking, and the rate two officials disagree on

Imbiah Lookout car park is the nearest, and two official pages quote different rates for it.

The Madame Tussauds page says S$0.02 a minute during the day and a flat S$2.40 in the evening. Sentosa says S$2.20 an hour during the day, a flat S$4 in the evening and a S$10 daily cap.

Driving in also carries a vehicle entry fee on top of parking, and that amount depends on the time you cross onto the island.

Both versions

PeriodMadame Tussauds pageSentosa official
7am to 5pmS$0.02 per minuteS$2.20 per hour
After 5pmS$2.40 per entryS$4 per entry
Daily capNot statedS$10
Trust the island operator here: Sentosa runs the car park, not the museum. Budget from the Sentosa figures, and remember the vehicle entry fee changes with your arrival time.

When driving is worth it

With four or more people, or a pram and bags, a car wins. For two, Express fares come in under the parking. How the island connects to the rest of the network is in the Singapore transport guide.

20. How long to allow, and when it is quiet

Official guidance puts a visit at two to three hours. Klook and Sentosa print the same range.

That figure includes queueing. Each VR experience adds about ten minutes, and joining the audition pushes the total past three hours.

Deciding the order in advance shortens it. Head for the zones holding faces you know, then walk the rest.

By time of day

WindowWhat to expect
10am to 11amOpening hour, the quietest stretch
Noon to 3pmGroups and families arrive
3pm to 5pmThinning out, but VR redemption closes at 5pm
After 5pmNo admission
That is why the early ticket is the cheapest: Klook’s S$28 package only admits between 10am and 1pm. A morning plan buys the lower price and the emptier rooms together.

Building the rest of the day

Two or three hours does not fill a Sentosa day. Other paid attractions sit on the same hill, so half a day here is the natural unit, and visiting several makes a pass worth pricing.

Worked Sentosa day plans are in the Singapore itinerary guide.

21. What else is on the same hill

Imbiah Lookout holds several paid attractions within walking distance of each other. Half a day here needs no transport at all.

SkyHelix, the Skyline LugeMap and the path down to Fort SilosoMap all lead off the same lookout, and the cable car station is on the spot.

This is the densest cluster of paid attractions on Sentosa, and the cable car link makes crossing to Mount Faber straightforward.

Wax galleries are weatherproof. When an afternoon storm arrives, swapping this in and pushing the outdoor attractions back costs nothing.

Pairing with the bigger attractions

Universal StudiosMap and Singapore Oceanarium are over at Resorts World, one Express stop away. Fitting either into the same day leaves about two hours here. Attraction-by-attraction pricing across the island is in the Sentosa island guide, and the ropeway itself in the Singapore Cable Car guide.

If you are comparing viewpoints, Skypark Sentosa continues from the same hill.

22. Seven places the official sources disagree

Researching this museum turns up contradictions, and there are seven of them.

Most follow one pattern: the operator’s page is current and the platform above it carries something older. Pricing and age bands run the other way, with the Sentosa store giving more detail than the attraction.

Knowing where they sit removes the surprises. Time and money are the two that reorganise a day when they turn out to be wrong.

All seven

ItemOne sourceThe other
Jumanji 4D on saleThe attraction already sells itSentosa says tickets are coming soon
Marvel 4DThe show has closedThe official zone list and FAQ still carry it
Price displayThe attraction prices everything “per child”The Sentosa store separates adult and child

Opening hoursBoth officials say last entry 5pmKKday says 6pm
ParkingThe museum page says S$0.02 a minuteSentosa says S$2.20 an hour
The nameAlmost everywhere, Images of SingaporeThe accessibility document keeps the older name
Take the official pair for anything involving time or money. Last entry at 5pm is the single number to carry, because it is the one the resellers get wrong.

Which source wins

Whoever runs the thing is current. Shows, zones and hours change on the attraction site first; pricing structure, age bands and parking are better documented on the Sentosa side. Reading both together produces the right answer.

Attraction prices across the city are gathered in the Singapore travel budget and things to do in Singapore.

Frequently asked questions

Q. How much is a Madame Tussauds SingaporeMap ticket?

S$29 online or S$34 at the door on the attraction site. Through the Sentosa store it is S$44 adult and S$32 child at list, dropping to S$38 and S$26 online.

Those figures cover different things. The attraction site includes the Jumanji 4D show and no digital photo. The Sentosa store includes a digital photo it values at S$20 and no Jumanji. Which one comes out lower depends on which of those two you actually want.

Q. What counts as a child?

Child pricing runs from age 3 to 12, and adult pricing starts at 13. Under-3s enter free.

Only the Sentosa store spells this out, in the product description. The attraction’s own ticket page prices both of its products “per child” and never shows an adult rate, so a family that plans from that page alone will budget the wrong total.

Q. What time is last entry?

Last entry is 5pm. The doors open at 10am and close at 6pm, every day of the week.

One reseller lists the place as open until 7pm with last entry at 6pm. Both official sources, the attraction and Sentosa, say 6pm and 5pm. Since a wrong hour here means losing the visit, plan around the official pair. Vouchers for the VR experiences also stop being exchanged at 5pm.

Q. How many wax figures are there?

The official wording is “more than 80”; the site gives 66 of them their own page. They stand across nine zones.

Figures arrive and leave, and short-run guests stay only a few months, so the two counts drifting apart is normal. If you are going for one particular figure, check the booking page for that figure before you buy.

Q. Which country has the most figures?

India, with eighteen. Six sit in the Ultimate Film Star Experience, nine in the IIFA Awards zone, and the rest are two cricketers and a prime minister.

Western celebrities come to a similar total of around twenty, but they are scattered across Sports, Music, TV & Film and the A-List rather than gathered in one room. Singapore accounts for eleven, Greater China for ten, Southeast Asia for five and Korea for four.

Q. Is the Marvel 4D show still running?

It has closed. Visitors arriving since then are handed a snack and a canned drink instead.

You collect them at the gift shop counter. Two pages on the official site still list a Marvel zone, the zone overview and the FAQ, which is why so many write-ups elsewhere still lead with it. If Marvel was the reason for the trip, plan around something else.

Q. Where can I buy the Jumanji 4D show?

It is inside the attraction site’s own tickets, both the S$29 and the S$39 one.

Sentosa’s page still says tickets with the 4D experience are coming soon. When two official sources say different things about the same product, the operator of the site itself is the current one. Buy from the attraction site if you want the 4D show.

Q. Can anyone ride the VR experiences?

VR Racing needs age 12 and 1.4m; Thrill Coaster needs 0.9m. The two thresholds are far apart.

There are weight limits too, 120kg for VR Racing and 272kg per Thrill Coaster platform. A history of heart or back conditions, epilepsy or schizophrenia rules out VR Racing, and neither is recommended during pregnancy or soon after surgery. Both need a signed waiver.

Q. Can I bring a pram inside?

No. Prams stay at a drop-off point outside the entrance.

There is also no nursing room and no baby change table, and food and drink cannot come in, baby food included. With a walking child the building is easy, single level and indoors, with figures you are allowed to touch. Babes in arms cannot ride the boat. Other places that work with children are in Singapore with kids.

Q. Can I change my date after buying?

Only tickets bought on the attraction site change free, up to five times, until an hour before the booked slot.

Sentosa store tickets have to be moved at least a day ahead. Klook and KKday tickets go through their own support, and KKday states plainly that a confirmed order cannot be amended or refunded. If you want room to push a day because of the weather, buy from the attraction site.

Q. Do I need to book a time slot?

Yes, if you bought anywhere other than the attraction site. There is a separate time-slot page on the official site.

Open-dated tickets from resellers and Merlin annual passes both use it. Skipping it means entry is not guaranteed on the day. Tickets can be bought as late as two hours before a visit.

Q. How do I get to Imbiah Lookout?

The Sentosa Express to Imbiah station is the closest approach. Board on level three of VivoCity and get off at the second stop.

By cable car, ride to Imbiah Lookout station and walk three minutes. Public bus 123 stops at Village Hotel. The free island buses A and C run one stop up from Beach station. Walking in over the boardwalk is put at 30 minutes by the attraction itself. The full set of ways on and off the island is in the Sentosa island guide.
