Best Time & Weather

Currency & Money
The local currency is the Singapore Dollar (SGD). Sentosa is almost entirely cashless; you will find that major credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay are accepted at every attraction, restaurant, and shop. Tipping is not expected as a 10% service charge is usually included in the bill.
Getting Around
Getting around Sentosa is incredibly easy for families. The Sentosa Express monorail, beach shuttles, and public buses within the island are free once you are on the island. For getting to the island, the Sentosa Express from VivoCity or a Grab (ride-sharing app) are the most convenient options for those with strollers.
