SCHOOL’s OUT!!
COVID-19 may have thrown a spanner into our travelling plans, but with the vaccination travel lanes put into place and cruise options available, there are more places to bring our little ones overseas. It has also been almost 2 years since the borders have been more or less shut, with various travel bubbles forming sporadically as the COVID situation improves.
That being said, ask any Singaporean and one would comment about the pent up frustration of not being able to travel beyond our small country, and the mundaneness of working from home with nothing to look forward to. This frustration could not have been more apparent for young families with children. For the young ones, being cooped up for a whole month mostly at home, with social relationships with friends sustained only through text threads, tik tok videos and memes, one could imagine how much pent up energy is inside of them ready to be unleashed.
Other than the obvious places like Universal Studios Singapore, Singapore Zoo and your neighbourhood parks, there seems to be few places of interest for families to bring their children to over the weekends, let alone be able to use your Singapore Rediscover vouchers.
Maybe now is the best time to take time to smell the roses, and to visit the local attractions and to support local businesses. Especially for families with young ones, it may be useful to expend the energy of your little ones by engaging in a car rental company for a weekend getaway, and to visit a few places of interest along the way.
