It’s not often that you get to enjoy Sentosa’s attractions for free - but that’s exactly what’s happening right now! Sentosa is giving out tokens which you can use to redeem entry tickets to their attractions.

Some of these attractions, like the Cable Car, Headrock VR, and Trick Eye Museum can be entered for free as the 20 tokens will cover your entire ticket. Others include iFly, Mega Adventure Park, and Nestopia.

The best part is that you don’t have to rush to use up your tokens, as redemption dates can be as far as March 2021. The only caveat is that each household only gets one set of tokens, so you’ll have to split them with your fam.

If you’ve ever wanted to experience the thrill of bungy jumping, but got a fright from the steep prices (rather than the steep height of the tower), now’s your opportunity. AJ Hackett is offering $110 off their Bungy, which means you’ll be paying only $49 (U.P. $159).

Alternatively, you can also try their Giant Swing, with tickets currently also at $49 (U.P. $69). It’s great for those who would rather not attempt a thrill ride alone, as it can hold up to three people at one go.
