Gru and his adorable band of Minions have just given fans in Singapore the best Valentine's Day present: Illumination's Minion Land at Universal Studios Singapore.
The space is now officially open to the public and features three distinct areas: Minion Marketplace, Gru's Neighborhood and Super Silly Fun Land.
Here's what to expect when you explore Minion Land as part of your visit to USS.
Minion Marketplace boasts three main shops where you can snag themed sweet treats and merchandise: Sweet Surrender, Pop Store and Fun Store.

Gru's Neighbourhood
After four Despicable Me movies, fans will finally know what it's like to step into Gru's house – thanks to Gru's Neighborhood. Here lies Despicable Me Minion Mayhem – an immersive motion simulator ride that transforms guests into Minions as they ride through Gru's secret lab.

As you enter "Gru's house", you'll see items from the Despicable Me movies including newspaper clippings of Gru's escapades and items from his lair.

The ride itself is a fun-filled escapade with aerial drops and water splashes. Those with severe motion sickness might want to proceed with caution.

Super Silly Fun Land is also home to two game booths: Space Killer (above) and Ba-Na-Na CaBaNa.
Space Killer is a shooting game that requires you to launch a ball from a blaster to topple a mountain of cans. Bring down all of them and you'll score a plushie.

Ba-Na-Na CaBaNa requires you to launch a banana from your console into a basket.

Those who are peckish can then head to Super Hungry Food Stand – a restaurant that's a larger-than-film version of the waterfront snack stand from Despicable Me.

Here, you can indulge in a variety of toothsome treats including Stuart's Japanese Curry Karaage (S$19) which comprises mildly spicy Japanese curry, fried chicken and poached vegetables, served with rice shaped after Stuart the Minion.
Other dishes to try include Super Silly Veggie Burger (S$20) featuring a crunchy mushroom patty with guacamole, and Unlucky Ducky Cream Chicken Stew (S$19).
