Minion Land at Universal Studios is officially open at Universal Studios Singapore. The colorful, cartoon-inspired land opened its doors on February 15, 2025, and is now welcoming all guests.

The land is a vibrant and whimsical area that captures the magic of the beloved Minions from the Despicable Me franchise. Guests can immerse themselves in a universe filled with bright colors, fun characters, and engaging attractions. The land is designed to appeal to both young fans of the Minions and adults seeking a nostalgic experience.

One of the highlights of Minion Land is the Despicable Me Minion Mayhem ride, which invites guests to join the mischievous Minions on a 3D adventure. Audiences wear 3D glasses and are surrounded by delightful animatronics that transport them into a chaotic and hilarious journey. The attention to detail in the ride design creates an immersive experience where guests can almost feel the Minions’ zany antics.

In addition to the rides, there are interactive experiences sprinkled throughout Minion Land. Guests can engage with interactive displays, including games and photo opportunities with their favorite characters. Children will especially enjoy the fun of guiding their own mini Minion through various activities, making it a great place for family bonding.

Dining options in Minion Land are equally delightful. Themed restaurants offer tasty treats and meals that reflect the playful nature of the Minions. For example, guests can indulge in banana-flavored desserts or enjoy a meal at a beautifully designed eatery decorated with colorful Minion art. Dining in this land provides guests with a unique opportunity to enjoy delicious food while being surrounded by the whimsical Minion atmosphere.

This is hardly the first collaboration between Universal and Discpicbale Me to make its way into the parks, with another Minion Land opening back in 2023 at the Universal Orlando Resort.

Minion Land is a haven of family-friendly activities catering to guests of all ages. Younger visitors are treated to a variety of wholesome entertainment options, all designed to engage little ones in the delightful Minion world.

Parents can look forward to character meet-and-greets where children can pose for photos and interact with friendly Minions and characters from the “Despicable Me” series. This interactive experience often results in joyful memories for the entire family, as laughter and excitement fill the air.

Moreover, seasonal events keep the fun fresh throughout the year. Special celebrations might feature unique shows, holiday-themed decorations, and exclusive merchandise. Families planning their visit during these times can experience the magic of Minion Land in new and exciting ways.

For guests seeking more than just rides, Minion Land often has themed dance parties or parades, featuring energetic performances from beloved characters. These events create a festive atmosphere that is sure to engage everyone, ensuring that every family member leaves with a smile on their face.

For an enjoyable trip to Minion Land, planning is essential to maximize the experience and minimize wait times. First-time visitors should aim to arrive early in the day, as mornings tend to have fewer crowds, giving families a chance to enjoy multiple attractions back-to-back.

To make the most of their visit, guests should consider utilizing Universal Studios’ mobile app for real-time updates on ride wait times, show schedules, and dining options. The app also provides the opportunity to find any special events happening that day, ensuring no family-friendly fun is missed.
