Resorts World Sentosa Summer of Treasures has Crybaby, Minions, and more activities till 30 Aug
In Singapore, the word “summer” has never really meant much since it’s basically hot all year round.
Yet somehow, when the middle of the year arrives, summer vacation mode strikes, urging us to get out of the house, gather our favourite people, and find something new to do together.
This year, Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) is giving families, couples, and friend groups plenty of reasons to act on that feeling with Summer of Treasures, a resort-wide line-up of pop culture collaborations, immersive attractions, themed experiences, and exclusive events running till 30 Aug 2026.
Spot Crybaby among real-life marine wonders at Singapore Oceanarium
If you’ve yet to step foot into the revamped Singapore Oceanarium and happen to be a fan of cute collectables, Crybaby might just be the reason to finally make the trip.
From now till 30 Aug 2026, Pop Mart’s beloved chubby-cheeked icon takes over the attraction in the Cry Me an Ocean activation.
This marks the first time a Crybaby experience has been staged inside a real oceanarium.
In total, there are 11 photo zones to discover, and the experience begins even before you enter the oceanarium.
Outside, two towering five-metre inflatables, The Anglerfish and The Pufferfish, welcome visitors into Crybaby’s underwater world next to the spinning Universal Studios Singapore (USS) globe, while a two-metre Whaleshark sculpture greets guests before they enter the Oceanarium.
Inside the aquarium itself, Crybaby continues its underwater adventure across marine-themed spaces such as Ocean Wonders, the Shark Seas tunnel, and the iconic Open Ocean viewing panel.
What makes this collaboration especially charming is how naturally it fits into the space.
During a recent media preview, we found ourselves constantly on the lookout for the colourful Crybaby installations hidden throughout the oceanarium, never quite knowing where the next photo-op would appear.
One moment, we were quietly admiring graceful stingrays, majestic sharks, and mesmerising schools of fish drifting through giant viewing panels; the next, we were getting our cameras ready to snap the teary-eyed characters among the exhibits.
As visitors wander through the galleries, they’ll encounter Crybaby reimagined as adorable marine creatures, allowing the installations to blend playfully into the oceanarium’s aquatic setting.
Fans who can’t get enough can also swing by a dedicated Pop Mart pop-up store at WEAVE to shop Cry Me an Ocean collectables and merchandise.
There are also exclusive Crybaby-themed gifts, including 3D stickers with a minimum spend of S$38, a bandana with a minimum spend of S$98, and a picnic mat with a minimum spend of S$208.
Tickets to Singapore Oceanarium start from S$55 for adults and S$43 for children and seniors, and can be purchased online here.

Minions, monsters, and more at Universal Studios Singapore
If you believe that no summer is complete without a little chaos, USS has you covered.
From now till 11 Aug 2026, Illumination’s Minions & Monsters Summer celebrates the upcoming ‘Minions & Monsters’ movie with exclusive themed experiences throughout the park.
The fun begins the moment guests step into Hollywood Street, where new monster characters Howard and Irene have taken over the area.
Expect tentacles draped over destroyed buildings, larger-than-life set pieces, and plenty of mayhem-filled photo spots that announce the monsters have well and truly arrived.
Fans can also catch appearances by James and Henry, the newest Minions joining Illumination’s blockbuster franchise, as well as a brand-new live show titled ‘Conjuring Chaos’.
The mischief continues with themed snacks and drinks inspired by the film, including Irene’s Chicken Cutlet Sandwich, James’ Banana & Hazelnut Bombolone, and Minions Spellbinding Tea.
At the Silver Screen store, expect limited-edition park-exclusive merchandise. The vast array of collections offers something for every fan — think plushies, headwear, toys, and apparel.
USS tickets start from S$76 for adults and S$69 for children, and can be purchased online here.

Cool off with Sanrio’s Hapidanbui at Adventure Cove Waterpark
After all that monster mayhem, Adventure Cove Waterpark offers something a little more kawaii (Japanese for “cute”, for the uninitiated) with its first-ever Sanrio Hapidanbui Summer.
From now till 30 Aug 2026, guests can spot Hangyodon, Kerokerokeroppi, Tuxedosam, Ahirunopekkle, Bad Badtz-Maru, and Pochacco across themed photo spots and larger-than-life inflatables placed throughout the park’s key zones, including the wave pool and lazy river.
The collaboration also includes themed food and drinks inspired by each character, exclusive merchandise such as plush toys and apparel, as well as collectable temporary tattoos and waterproof sticker sets that visitors can pick up throughout the experience.
