When Singapore announced last week that it'll be giving out $100 tourism vouchers under the SingapoRediscovers scheme, we're sure many of you were excited! If you haven't heard, the vouchers will be given out in December for adults aged 18 and above, and will be valid till June 2021. While this is great news for couples, groups of friends and families with older children, what about families with young children? Since December is the school holidays, you might be wondering what activities you can do with the $100 tourism vouchers without having to fork out a substantial amount of money.
Can I use the vouchers for my kids?
The answer is yes! Your kids might not be eligible for the tourism vouchers but the good news is that you can purchase up to 6 subsidised tickets for attractions and tours (up to $10 off per ticket) for those under 18 years old. That's why we've rounded up this guide of what you can do with your family with the $100 SingapoRediscovers Vouchers.
Note: We've calculated the cost of the following activities based on the average family size in Singapore which is 2 parents and 2 children, which means that you'd have a limit of $200 vouchers to spend.
