We had 2 guides. There was Ron who was super knowledgeable and very accommodating. There were special kids in our group and they really went beyond to make sure they enjoy it also without becoming anxious (especially the Dolphin encounter). Take the VIP experience. It is really worth it!

A MUST BOOK. This includes welcoming
snacks and SGD 25 meal voucher which is
just enough for a regular meal (would
recommend rice meal or ramen at S$ 17
plus $$7 drinks at STARBOT CAFE). Don't
forget to use the complimentary tumbler
to get S$ 3 discount on drinks. The guide
will plan your tour and prioritize the rides
that are worth taking No waiting time and
definitely express in most rides. saves 45
min to 1 hour PER attraction. and you get
discount for shopping at US too
