How to get there for the physically disabled: The following information is obtained from Access Singapore.

Prior arrangements can be made with the Sentosa Customer Service Department (tel:(65)6279 1720) for people with disabilities to be driven in.

For those with mobility difficulties, travel by ferry is recommended as it is the most accessible and convenient way to Sentosa. Attendant service is available for those who need help.However,wheeling on the platform after landing at Sentosa can be difficult as there are grids on the rubber surface of the platform where there is a slight slope.

Ambulant-disabled may try the bus if overcoming the bus steps does not prove difficult.

Access is difficult from the cable car tower to the entrance of Sentosa as there are many steps.Prior arrangement with the cable car company is recommended so that assistance can be rendered.

The monorail offers a comfortable ride to most attractions. However, wheelchair users will find it difficult to gain access to the train as it is operated on an upper level accessible by a flight of stairs. Escalators can only be found at the main station at the ferry terminal and there are no lifts at any other stations. Prior arrangements should be made with the staff for assistance.

The buses are not accessible to wheelchair users as there are steps at the door. The Beach Train is also not accessible to wheelchair users.

Another way to get around is by walking or wheeling to destinations within Sentosa. This may be tedious as Sentosa is undulating and is a relatively large attraction. It is therefore wise to plan your route. An alternative is to travel by the coastal track where the pavement is even and easier to wheel or walk. However, the coastal track provides access to only some attractions within Sentosa and the journey is longer.
