Permanent Attractions & Experiences

1. Super Nintendo World Singapore

Venue: Universal Studios Singapore
Expected Opening: TBC
Admission: TBC

Back in 2019, Universal Studios Singapore unveils plans to build two new, highly themed and immersive environments based on hugely popular entertainment concepts, Minion Land and Super Nintendo World. These new and expansive areas will feature all-audience and family-friendly attractions as well as themed shops and restaurants. 

Minion Land, as we have shared above, will be opening on 14 Feb 2025, but the fate of Super Nintendo World remains less known. A press release from Universal Studios Japan confirms that Super Nintendo World Singapore is still on the cards, but there is still no updates on dates - well it seems highly unlikely to be in 2025 given the lack of news so far. But stay tune and we will share more when we hear of it!
