You’ve got mail! Most of us would have received our SingapRediscovers vouchers this week. You certainly have many options, but here’re the five cool ways to use them.
1. Indie Singapore
We can’t go without plugging our friend and contributor Toh Thiam Wei of Indie Singapore, and we do so proudly – Indie Singapore is ranked the No.1 tours on Tripadvisor, and has been holding the spot for some time.
Wei’s working tours not only bring you the authentic sights and sounds of Singapore but also into the stories that shaped the journey of Singapore. His tales of days past and the forgotten ghosts of yesteryear has regaled many a tourist – it would be a pity if we miss out on this as a native son (and daughter). What better way to truly rediscover Singapore then to walk the ground in the land of our great nation?

2. Headrock VR
You know what’s more enjoyable than entering into a fully immersive, interactive experience where your senses are completely enveloped by the exciting and at times horrific scenarios that virtual reality brings?
Watching someone else wearing a headset screaming their heads off as they are entering into said fully immersive, interactive experience. It’s a hoot.
Bring a friend – no, bring a bunch of friends – and watch them gesticulate wildly at thin air while pretending to be Tarzan leaping through jungles or Spiderman diving into a volcano. There are 11 attractions at differing levels of intensity so pick your poison for the friends you care deeply about.

3. St. Regis Singapore’s Macallan Sling & Stay
One of the little joys that has made the covid-19 situation a bit more bearable for me is the occasional swig of Macallan’s on a Friday evening to celebrate yet another meaningless work week completed. Now combine that with an evening at the swanky St. Regis Singapore and you have one of the most irresistible staycation packages out there.
Book the Macallan Sling and Stay package for a luxurious one night’s stay with an epicurean breakfast for two, and here’s the kicker – there’s a snazzy in-room Macallan Bar with a welcome bottle of The Macallan 15-year Double Cask. Top that off with a half-hour private in-room cocktail making session with Astor Bar’s master mixologist. Yes you heard that, whiskey senpai has noticed you.
Plus, you don’t have to go home on a complete downer as you get a take-home gift set of The Macallan Whisky Trio (50ml)! It also includes glassware, so you don’t have to “borrow” them as you pack your luggage.

4. AirZone
Look, I’m not the biggest fan of being suspended in mid-air with nothing much more than a net beneath my feet, safe as that net might be. But these days I’m happy to do anything just to feel a little alive and AirZone does just that. It’s basically a playground suspended in the air which is how I would have described heaven if I were proselytizing.
There are elevated themed zones and games like Giant Inflatable Soccer, 3D mazes and a thrilling slide in case being suspended in mid-air wasn’t exciting enough for you. This is probably the easiest way to get high while spending time with your kids.

5. HiRoller
This wouldn’t be a gen X piece without something distinctly Gen X- Roller skates! What’s more, HiRoller has raised their 80s game and make it an uber cool roller disco-inspired neon lit rink, complete with retro music and vintage posters. Heaven is indeed a place on earth.
