Preethi’s Spontaneous Trip to Singapore with Thrillophilia
When Preethi and her family decided on a sudden trip to Singapore, they had no idea it would turn into an experience they’d treasure forever.
Singapore, with its mix of adventure, culture, and attractions, became the perfect destination for their family getaway. And thanks to the careful planning by the team behind their trip, Preethi’s spontaneous vacation became a seamless and thrilling experience.
A Magical Night
Their adventure began in the most magical way possible—with a visit to Singapore’s world-famous Night Safari. This wasn’t a typical zoo visit.
As soon as they stepped into the park, her daughter couldn’t hold back her excitement. She was bouncing with joy, eyes wide with curiosity as she waited for the adventure to begin.
Seated in a tram, the family embarked on a unique journey through the night. The park came alive with nocturnal animals in their natural habitat, and Preethi felt the magic in the air as the darkness added a sense of mystery. Every twist and turn of the tram revealed a new, fascinating creature—Malayan tapirs, civets, and the ever-playful binturongs.
The "Creatures of the Night" show was the highlight of the night, where they got to witness owls, snakes, and binturongs demonstrating their incredible abilities. The show felt like an intimate performance put on just for them, and by the end of it, the entire family was wide-eyed with wonder.
Exploring the City: Gardens by the Bay and Beyond
The next day, they plunged straight into the heart of Singapore’s urban beauty with a city tour. It was here that Preethi truly fell in love with the perfect balance of futuristic architecture and greenery.
They started with a visit to Marina Bay Sands SkyPark, where they soaked in panoramic views of the city skyline. Preethi still remembers the feeling of standing at the top of the world, her family gathered around, spotting landmarks and marvelling at the stunning views.
But it was Gardens by the Bay that took their breath away. As they walked through the Cloud Forest, with its cool mist and towering waterfall, it felt like they were in a jungle. Preethi was particularly mesmerised by the SuperTree Grove—giant, futuristic tree structures that felt like something straight out of a fantasy movie. They explored the colourful Flower Dome, with flowers from every corner of the world, and it was at that moment that Preethi realised how diverse and magical Singapore truly was.
She couldn’t help but be amazed by the contrast between the bustling city outside and the tranquil beauty within the Gardens. “It felt like stepping into another world,” she remarked, recalling the peace and serenity of that paradise.
A Day of Cinematic Thrills
Preethi’s family had been buzzing with excitement about their day at Universal Studios Singapore, and it sure did not disappoint them. From the moment they entered, they were greeted by the larger-than-life streets of Hollywood Boulevard.
The family jumped headfirst into the thrills, with her daughter begging to ride the Battlestar Galactica roller coaster first. The family explored every corner of the park—from the ancient pyramids of Ancient Egypt to the dino-filled jungles of The Lost World.
One of the most memorable moments came in the Far Far Away section, where Preethi’s daughter met her hero, Princess Fiona, from Shrek.
Her daughter’s face lit up, and she proudly declared that meeting Fiona was “the best part of the whole trip.” Preethi felt a wave of warmth, knowing that this day would remain one of her daughter’s most cherished memories.
By the time they left the park, their feet were sore, their bags were stuffed with souvenirs, and their hearts were full of joy. It was a day packed with laughter, adventure, and cinematic thrills that would stay with them for a lifetime.
Conquering Fears, Making Memories
While her daughter couldn’t keep her calm after meeting Fiona, it was Adventure Cove Waterpark at Sentosa Island which Preethi had been waiting all along.
The adventure started with a scenic cable car ride from Mount Faber to the island, which offered stunning views of Singapore’s coastline.
At the waterpark, they dove into the crystal-clear waters of the Rainbow Reef, snorkelling among vibrant schools of fish. Preethi, who had never snorkelled before, was a bit hesitant at first, but soon found herself mesmerised by the underwater world. Her daughter couldn’t stop shouting excitedly about every colourful fish they spotted.
They floated along the Adventure River, lazily drifting in the sunshine, and took on thrilling water slides like the Tidal Twister, where laughter echoed through the air.
Preethi conquered another fear of hers — interacting with Dolphins. Both mother and daughter shared precious moments interacting and playing with these adorable creatures.
But the day didn’t end there. As the sun set, the family gathered on the beach for the Wings of Time show. Preethi had heard rave reviews about this dazzling light and water show, but nothing could have prepared her for the breathtaking spectacle.
As the lights danced across the water and the fireworks lit up the night sky, Preethi felt a sense of peace and joy wash over her. It was the perfect end to an action-packed day.
Thank You, Thrillophilia
Through it all, what made Preethi’s trip truly special was the team that planned and executed everything to perfection. "I have no words to express my gratitude," Preethi said when recalling the trip. "The team organised such a wonderful trip for us to create cherishing memories. Mansi and Devansh were there from day one, answering my doubts with patience."
She marvelled at how well the itinerary was crafted by Anamika and Gautham as per her family’s needs.
The on-ground team was always available for them, responding quickly whenever there was a question or need. The family felt safe and taken care of every step of the way, and that sense of security allowed them to truly relax and enjoy every moment.
As Preethi summed it up, “Thrillophilia truly made our trip thrilling and enjoyable to the core. The support they gave us made us trust them so much. Cheers to the entire team!”
