We strongly recommend buying a Multiple Attraction Pass to use along with your Tourist Pass. With up to 52% in discounts on entrance fees to Singapore’s top attractions, it’s no surprise that over 200,000 of these have already been purchased.

Resorts World Station is the first stop on the Sentosa Express train line, so expect this to be a short ride. Get on the train, and try to stay near an exit if it’s busy!
Step 6: Get off the train at Resorts World Station and then walk to Adventure Cove Waterpark.
Alight at Resorts World Station and take all of your belongings.
