Coffee Appreciation Workshop

Sweet nothings mean nothing until you’ve had your morning cuppa together.

That’s why we know this Coffee Appreciation Workshop will keep the romance alive.

Over 1.5 hours, it’ll just be the two of you savouring five types of artisan coffee, each with a unique roast and profile. 

You’ll also get to experience the coffee flavour wheel, understand how roast and brewing styles influence taste, and discover how to identify fruity, nutty, floral or chocolate notes. 

NTUC members can enjoy the experience for $59 per person (usual price $65). Totally worth it considering five cups at your favourite artisan coffee place will already set you back $50.

Family favourites: Enjoy up to 13% on Singapore Slingshot, and other activities

Singapore Slingshot 

If getting catapulted 70 metres into the air at the speed of 3-5Gs amid the Singapore skyline doesn’t thrill you, we don’t know what will.

If you can keep your eyes open while screaming atop the Singapore Slingshot at Clarke Quay, check out the Marina Bay Sands and Singapore Flyer — they’re quite an amazing sight to behold at night.

NTUC members can enjoy a special rate of $78 per person (usual price $90) from 4.30pm-11.30pm Sundays to Thursdays, and 5.30pm-1.30am on Fridays and Saturdays. While this price is meant for two, a family of four can still enjoy the thrill two persons at a time.

Jewel Canopy Park

Heard the one about the family that plays together stays together? The Jewel Canopy Park takes family fun to a whole new level — literally.

Head straight for the bouncing nets, a massive, suspended trampoline playground with different areas to explore. The best thing to do here is to play catch or kick around the giant netted football.

NTUC members can choose the Bouncing Net and Canopy Park admission combo at $20 per adult (usual price $24.90) and $15 per child (usual price $19.90)

Another highlight is the Discovery Slides, where the little and not-so-little ones will have a blast zipping down the various exhilarating slides. NTUC members only need to pay the Canopy Park admission at $5.50 (usual price $8) per adult or child.

The Mirror Maze is also worth your time — laugh at the distorted reflections and chase the kids down the endless corridors. For the Mirror Maze and Canopy Park admission package, NTUC members pay just $15 per adult (usual price $18.90) and $11 per child (usual price $13.90).
