Life’s happiest and most heartwarming moments are spent with those you love. This May, we’re making it easier for NTUC members to connect with loved ones thanks to Downtown East’s May Day Deals! From 1-for-1s to discounts and promotions, we’re here to elevate every outing, bringing you closer to the people and things that matter. Whether you’re visiting with a special someone, friends or family, this is our guide to maximising the campaign and the best bonding experience for every kind of relationship. 

For the Romantic Lovebirds 

Igniting that spark between couples lays the groundwork for a deeper, more intimate kinship. Over time, passion may take a backseat due to responsibilities, routines and daily stresses. Prioritising romance nurtures mutual appreciation and reinforces the commitment that both partners share. Beyond grand gestures, it’s about investing in each other and showing that love still deserves attention.  

A romantic getaway at D’Resort serves as an excellent catalyst for rekindling closeness. Surrounded by nature in a tranquil environment, lovers can make new memories and rediscover each other away from distractions. The change of scenery comes with a sense of novelty that rejuvenates the relationship. 

After a day of relaxation or adventure, a cosy, candle-lit dinner at Wine Connection elevates the evening. Just a stone’s throw from D’Resort, this combination of retreat, curated wines and gourmet dishes facilitates warmth, creating a richer emotional landscape where trust and loyalty flourish.  

 During our May Day Special, NTUC members can enjoy up to 30% off at D’Resort stays, which includes free BBQ pit usage and Wild Wild Wet Passes (worth $186), along with 50% off pizzas at Wine Connection.  

 For the Cheerful Chums 

Unlike the family ties we’re born into, friendships, the family we choose, are formed through understanding and communication. Maintaining strong friendships helps provide perspective and promote personal growth that can contribute to our well-being and enrich our lives in countless ways. 

Activities that involve shared fun and laughter are powerful in deepening these bonds and Downtown East delivers the right kind of experiences. For instance, a thrilling day at Wild Wild Wet allows friends to let loose and enjoy spontaneous moments together that strengthen connections. On the other hand, dance sessions at Milan Pole Dance Studio, playful yet empowering, build confidence and encourage mutual support in a freeing environment. For something vibrant and lively, HaveFun Karaoke presents the perfect setting to sing your heart out and unleash your inner pop stars. 

With our May Day Deals, NTUC members can score 1-for-1 off-peak adult passes at Wild Wild Wet, a 1-for-1 5-class pack at Milan Pole Dance Studio as well and selected bar bites for just $5 at HaveFun Karaoke. 

For the Joyful Households  

The cornerstone of our development and identity, familial kinship shapes our values and behaviour from the earliest stages, providing a sense of security and belonging that is often unmatched. While romantic relationships may thrive on passion and emotional intimacy and friendship on common interests and shared experiences, familial ties are typically rooted in lifelong commitment. Nurturing them cultivates a strong support system that can be relied on through every season of life. 

As a three-generational mall with something for everyone, Downtown East enables families to spend quality time together in meaningful ways. Enrolling children in tuition classes here not only enhances their academic growth but also allows parents to engage in their learning journey. When it comes to younger kids, Tayo Station offers a fun, interactive space to foster parent-child bonds through play and exploration. Finally, why not unwind and share stories over a comforting meal? Swensen’s family-friendly ambience with ice cream to boot makes for a popular dining spot.  

This may, NTUC members can receive a $5 cash voucher for new sign-ups at EduFirst Learning Centre, 1-for-1 admission tickets (child & adult) at Tayo Station and a hot fudge or strawberry sundae for only $5 at Swensen’s. 

Relationships come in many forms, but one thing remains constant – the need to nurture them so they can flourish with time. The above recreations, though simple, strengthen rapport by facilitating a rhythm of togetherness. The best part? Our May Day campaign lasts all month long, giving you plenty of chances to come back, reconnect and celebrate the different relationships that matter most to you.
