If you’re looking for some serious fun for the whole family and fancy saving money simultaneously, then the yearly membership options at some of Singapore’s bucket list attractions are the way to go. Aside from being a great way to entertain the kids, the annual membership perks are not to be sneezed at: VIP entrance, free extras, first dibs on events, and prepaid entrance fees are just the tip of the iceberg! From Universal Studios and Singapore Zoo to Gardens by the Bay and all the cool exhibitions at Singapore Science Centre, we’ve picked out the cream of the crop of annual memberships in Singapore so that you can start planning a whole year of adventures for 2024…
The best annual membership passes for families
1. National Gallery Singapore
If you have some budding artists in the family, or even if you love looking at fabulous art yourself, then the National Gallery is well worth scoring a yearly membership. The young ones can learn about the art on display and the rich history of Singapore through interactive, hands-on exhibits. And we’re sure the kiddos will enjoy embarking on a kid-friendly audio tour, attending workshops and working through the activity guides. While there isn’t a specific family membership or annual pass, there are two kinds of memberships: Explorer, free, and Insider, which begins at $15. The Insider membership is well worth the perks, which include 10-15% off shopping and dining outlets, free entry to all existing and new exhibitions, and invitations to members-only events, not to mention the two-hour complimentary parking — a big bonus if you happen to be in the area.
Membership: Free Explorer membership or the Insider membership costs $15 for locals who are students, children aged seven to 12, or seniors aged 60 and above and $20 for adults.
