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

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

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

With the December offer, each will pay $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 $15 but doesn't have to pay for the child will save 65 per cent in entry fee.

The usual price for both would have been $43.50.

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