Banana-loving chaos has officially taken over Universal Studios Singapore with the grand opening of Illumination’s Minion Land on Valentine’s Day, and it’s as wild and mischievous as a Kevin, Stuart, and Bob heist. Gru might have dreamed of stealing the moon, but Resorts World Sentosa has pulled off something just as ambitious: bringing the lovable Minions into their very own playground, packed with attractions, bites, and merch that even Vector would envy. From a spinning dance party carousel to a larger-than-life waterfront snack stand straight from the Despicable Me films, every corner bursts with Minion madness.
Stepping into Minion Land feels like jumping straight into the franchise’s wacky universe. The giggles, antics, and banana obsession that made the Despicable Me movies global hits now fuel every ride and experience. Gru’s family joined the celebration, surrounded by yellow balloons, confetti, and, of course, Minions up to their usual mischief. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect at Minion Land in three distinct areas: Minion Marketplace, Gru’s Neighborhood, and Super Silly Fun Land.
Minion Marketplace
Minions rarely stick to a single plan, and their new home at Universal Studios Singapore follows suit with a trio of distinct retail spots under the umbrella of Minion Marketplace. Bright colours and sugary delights dominate Sweet Surrender, where shelves brim with Minion-themed apparel, plush toys, and homeware. Shoppers can grab bags of themed confections alongside collectibles that bring the franchise’s mischievous energy into everyday life.
Fashion-forward guests can head to Pop Store, where Minion style meets city cool, offering apparel that balances character motifs with trendy aesthetics. From graphic tees to accessories, the collection makes it easy for visitors to take home a wearable slice of Minion mayhem.
For fans drawn to the Minions’ creativity, Fun Store serves as a treasure trove of toys, gadgets, and accessories. Designed like the Minions’ own research and development lab, the space brims with inventive trinkets that echo the wild inventions seen in the Despicable Me films.
Gru’s Neighborhood
Much like any plan involving Gru’s banana-obsessed henchmen, nothing in Gru’s Neighborhood stays calm for long. Despicable Me Minion Mayhem offers the neighbourhood’s wild adventure, taking guests through Gru’s supervillain lab as they undergo the ultimate transformation into Minions themselves. Outside the lab, the action continues with the Minute of Minion Mayhem Show where Minions break into impromptu dance routines alongside Gru’s daughters Margo, Edith, and Agnes.
Super Silly Fun Land
Minions never do anything halfway, and Super Silly Fun Land at Universal Studios Singapore proves it. Space Killer, modeled after the arcade game from Despicable Me, challenges players to grab a blaster and take aim for prizes. Nearby, Ba-Na-Na CaBaNa turns the Minions’ favourite food into a carnival challenge, where flipping bananas could land visitors an equally adorable reward.
Silly Swirly takes the fun skyward, spinning riders in vibrant vehicles while offering sweeping views of Super Silly Fun Land and the lagoon. It’s a brief escape from reality much like the films, where chaos feels oddly comforting.
Minions rarely miss a chance to indulge, and Super Hungry Food Stand embraces that with a menu inspired by the Despicable Me universe.
Dishes like Stuart’s Japanese Curry Karaage (S$19) brings a familiar crunch. Sides such as Chili Crab Minion Mantous (S$12) and Minion Tots (S$12) provide savoury bites, balanced by colourful desserts like Fluffy’s Rainbow Cheesecake (S$15), Tim Bear Mousse Cake (S$14), Minion Lychee Roll (S$12), and Banana Cake Pops (S$15). For a quick snack, Pop-A-Nana serves up Minion-themed popcorn.
With tickets starting at S$76 for adults and S$59 for children, visitors can dive into the mischief. The newly introduced Universal Express Plus pass offers one-time priority access to rides and shows across the park, including Minion Land. For those who only need fast-track access to Minion Land’s attractions, an à la carte Universal Express top-up is also available.
Details on ticket purchases and pass upgrades can be found on the Resorts World Sentosa website. For those still on the fence, a quick peek at video highlights of Minion Land in Universal Studios Singapore on YouTube provides a glimpse into the fun waiting at every turn.
