There are many things to see and do on the island. These range from historic sites to natural places to purpose-built attractions. The attractions tend to change over time, as people get bored with some sights and new ones are built to take their place. The current big attractions that look set to stay around include:
- Underwater World
- This large aquarium features a long walk-through tank where you can experience sharks and rays swimming right over your head. We especially liked the little sea dragons, relatives of the sea horse.
- Dolphin Lagoon
- Admission to Underwater World also includes a show at the Dolphin Lagoon, where trained rare pink dolphins put on a show.
- Fort Siloso
- This historical fixture on the west tip of the island is an old British Fort.
- Merlion Statue
- This 120-foot tall symbol of Singapore dominates the skyline around much of the island. You can climb up for a great view from the lion's mouth.
- Tiger Tower
- Observation tower affording views of Singapore as well as far-away Indonesia.
- Universal Studios at Resorts World
- The latest and greatest attraction on Sentosa is the Universal Studios theme park, part of the massive Resorts World development, which also includes six hotels and a casino.
