sparks:

thanks for sharing your review on ACW.


Safra is running a promo on various attractions until August. Adventure cove tickets are going for $15 instead of $29! There are promo for River safari & others. However, limit to 2 adults tickets only. Still savings is $28 + can use the NS vouchers i think. Ticket sales start only on 25/5/13 Sat.

I am going ACW on 25/5/13, hopefully not too crowded stillllll.... :xedfingers:

YES, I saw the Safra promo for Adventure Cove too, very attractive !
If you bringing kids along, do not forget to snorkel at Rainbow reef.

Mine do not know how to snorkel, but they were happy just swimming around

Hi penglee, yes, I would want to bring them for the snorkelling. but both my children are short-sighted. Did you see anyone wearing specs with the snorkelling goggles??


Also, can I check the following with you:
- are there water coolers around?
- actually we intend to bring swim boots but I don’t know if we must take off when going on slides?

Tks so much!

[penglee]

hi Sparks, they will ask you to remove specs. A decision which bewilders me, as how do you expect to "see’ without specs?


Water coolers yes, Swim boots no idea.
F&B, although they state no outside food, I see big families with hugh pot of curry (in case you wish to buy something in)

Tks for your just-on-time reply penglee! Looking forward.....

junemum72, if you are going this Friday which is the school holidays, be prepared that it would be crowded.


Depending what you are going for - for us it's the slides, the queues after 12 noon is only for the very, very patient pp. Even when we strategised to reach there at 10am to try all the popular rides, we only managed to finish one round. Thereafter, the waiting time for popular rides can be one hour or more, depending if there are any breakdowns. :roll: I feel that there are too few good rides to cater to too many pp wanting to ride them. Waiting time is a killer. Food is expensive & pathetic. Bring your own better.

Your kids will love the lazy river cos they have a section where you can view stingrays & marine fishes, even pp feeding them! You may even have a peek at the dolphins too! I love it as they don't mind you lingering at the display windows even for a long time. I didn't get to do the snorkelling as the queue is as usual prohibitively long.

if you have younger children, they may not be able to go on many of the slides as the end of the slides are usually deep. It may be good to check with the staff at the park which rides your child can take first so that you do not queue up & be told later that your child doesn't meet the min height restrictions.

Enjoy yourself anyway & remember your sunblock!

Alamak sounds so disappointing. I thought most still have school tomorrow but after I bought the tickets, I was wrong. Even msia school holidays has just started.

Well, just have to see how it goes.

Can I ask did you drive? I know RWS parking is damn expensive so still deciding how to go there

Sorry, don't mean to be a wet blanket. Actually, we did enjoy ourselves but maybe better to go on a normal weekend that is not a school holiday.

Yes, we drove but we stayed at Rasa Sentosa.

I think you can park at Vivocity & take the sentosa express to waterfront station (1 stop only). I heard it's cheaper. From waterfront station, head towards universal studios. The entrance to SEA aquarium & Adventure Cove is on the left of Universal studios.

Different pp will have different experiences. Enjoy lah!

Thanks for sharing. It was a good one though it rained at around 5. I must agree that its not cheap spending a day in sentosa and seriously Singaporean should have concession to these attractions. if not a family of 2A and 2C can spend hundreds in a day.

Parking at RWS is no joke. $26 for whole day. lol
