SINGAPORE: Underwater World Singapore (UWS) in Sentosa is slashing ticket prices during the December holidays.

It's offering rates of the 1990s - at S$15 per person - for Singaporeans and local residents between 1 and 31 December.

An adult now pays S$25.90, while a senior citizen pays S$20.80 and a child pays S$17.60.


With the December offer, each will pay S$15.

To encourage families to spend time together and bond over interaction programmes with the marine animals, every paying visitor can bring a senior citizen or a child in free of charge.

For example, an adult who pays S$15 doesn't have to pay for the child and will save 65 per cent in entry fee.

The usual price for both would have been S$43.50.

Similarly, an adult who pays S$15 in entry fee can bring in a senior citizen for free and save 68 per cent in entry fee.

UWS said it's making the offer in appreciation of the support it's received over the years.

When asked if the promotion was a reaction to the newly-opened Marine Life Park at Resorts World Sentosa, UWS said the offer is part of its year-end holiday promotion.

A spokesperson said: "It's been the practice of Underwater World Singapore to offer mid-year and year-end promotions for the school holidays to encourage family outings."

Since its opening in 1991, Underwater World Singapore has received close to 30 million visitors.
