Generally, Universal Studios Singapore (USS) is known for their rides that are considered as one of the best attractions in Asia. But have you ever wonder what their facilities look like? This article is going to briefly explain about majorities of the facilities provided there in the Universal Studios Singapore.
Toilet. Yes, the public toilets. There are tons of toilets provided inside of the theme park. Most people are aware that Singapore is a country that does not provide any pipe inside the public toilet. The tourist from Malaysia will find it hard as they are not fond of it. However, the toilets are very neat and clean. There is no stinky smell in there and they also provide toilets for the disabled people.
Looking for some strollers or wheelchair to rent for your kids? Well, they got them prepared for you. Just head over to the Stroller and Wheelchair Rental sign on the right after entering the park and you will see them there. It’s located near the washroom and the lockers. The cost for the single seat strollers for kids are $15 each and $20 for the double seat.
Meanwhile, the wheelchair for the adult will cost you about $15. In addition, there are also electric vehicles provided that will basically function like a remote car for the disabled people. There is no obstacle for the disabled people to have fun just like everybody else in the park even though they need a special and easy vehicle for them to commute from one place to another place. The electric vehicles will cost you $50 each for one whole day.
