Universal Studios Singapore is getting set to celebrate the spooky season with its annual Halloween event. While the hugely popular Halloween Horror Nights event may be too intense for young children, the park will also offer a family-friendly “Trick or Thrills” event which promises to bring spooktastic fun to guests of all ages.
Trick or Thrills will be offered at Universal Studios Singapore from September 6 to November 5, 2023.
Monstrous Meet and Greets
Throughout the park, fan-favourite characters decked out in their Halloween best can meet and interact with guests. Visitors can catch the Minions from Despicable Me, Oscar the Grouch, Count von Count and Cookie Monster from Sesame Street; as well as Autobots Bumblebee and Megatron from Transformers.
This year will also mark the return of iconic Universal Monsters including Dracula, Scorpion King, Frankenstein and the Bride of Frankenstein.
Trick or Treating
Love trick-or-treating? Then look out for the roving candy ambassadors and a candy giveaway during an all-new show with live dance and percussion show, in which The Candy Crooks and The Lolly Bandits, battle it out for the ultimate prize – their stockpile of sweet treats. In addition to a candy giveaway, best-dressed guests have a chance to win a spooky treat.
Guests with an extra sweet tooth can get their fix at the new Candylicious store in the Hollywood zone, where guests can fill a pumpkin bucket for $9. Guests can make three candy grabs by scooping as much candy as they can each time. The promotion is valid from Fridays to Sundays in September, and from Fridays to Mondays from October to 5 November 2023.
Food and Drink
It’s not all about candy at Trick or Thrills, with a whole slew of Halloween-themed dishes on offer, such as the Minion Monsters Chicken Sandwich, Spooky Eyeball Pasta, Fried Zombie Chicken and Graveyard Hot Dog. Feel like a sweet yet scary dessert? Try the gory strawberry-flavoured Monster Ice Cream with candy eyeballs and chocolate waffle sticks.
Merchandise
An array of Halloween merchandise will be available, including crowd-favourite Minion Monsters, Kuromi and much more. Additionally, fans of the Minions can visit the gachapon stations in the Hollywood zone to redeem exclusive Universal Studios Singapore Halloween character pins of the Minion Monsters.
To redeem a token for the gachapon stations, guests will need to present two combined receipts from retail or food and beverage outlets in the theme park with a minimum spend of S$100, and follow @UniversalStudiosSingapore on Facebook and Instagram. For three tokens, a minimum spend of
S$160 is required.

Getting around Japan by the world-renowned bullet train, known as the Shinkansen, is incredibly fast, reliable, and affordable for visitors. You can travel from Tokyo to Osaka in just over 2 hours. Get the JR Rail Pass to save a ton of money on the bullet train for your trip.
Book Your Hotel
Universal Studios Japan has affordable accommodations that are steps away from the park and have easy access to Osaka. I recommend checking prices through Booking.com followed by the hotels directly. Sometimes, you’re able to score some incredible deals. Here’s a short list of hotels at Universal Studios Japan I recommend.
- The Park Front Hotel at Universal Studios Japan – You’re directly in front of the Park gates and have instant access to Universal CityWalk Osaka. The rooms are gorgeous, with restaurants and even a Lawson (Japanese convenience store).
- The Singulari HOTEL & SKYSPA – Attached to the train station is a fantastic hotel for those who want a comfortable, clean, and stylish place to sleep. After a long day at Universal Studios Japan, the rooftop sento (public bath) is excellent for unwinding and relaxing.
- Hotel Universal Port – This is an excellent hotel for the Minion fan in your family, only a 5-minute walk from Universal Studios Japan. It also boasts the largest breakfast buffet in Japan, a must during your visit.
Buy Your Tickets & Express Pass
In advance, save time and stress by buying your tickets and Express Pass for Universal Studios Japan.
Stay Connected
Universal Studios Japan only offers free Wi-Fi at the park’s entrance. That’s not enough to stay connected and share your day with everyone back home on Instagram to give them FOMO. Here’s how you can stay connected while travelling in Japan.
- Pocket Wi-Fi – If you’re travelling with a group or have multiple devices, this is your best and most affordable way to stay connected to the internet. Pick up and drop off at the airport. Easy.
- Japan SIM Card – If you have an unlocked phone and need a Japanese phone number, this is the best and easiest way.
Get Yourself Travel Insurance
While travelling aboard, having travel insurance protects you against injury, cancellations, illness, and other things you can never predict. Whenever I travel, I always budget for travel insurance to protect myself. I’ve used it, and I’m so glad I had it. My recommended companies are SafteyWing and World Nomads for travel insurance.
