SINGAPORE: The inaugural 'Family Day Out', which will be held this Saturday, has attracted an overwhelming response from the public. Over 40,000 people have expressed interest in taking part in the day's events.
On Thursday, families were given a glimpse of the programmes they can expect on that day, which include promotions and activities at family-friendly attractions such as Sentosa, Downtown East, Jurong Bird Park, the Night Safari and the Singapore Zoo.
They can also expect some 300 family-oriented activities, programmes and promotions during the National Family Celebrations month from May 24 to June 28.
This year, 113 businesses and companies have decided to support the month-long event by offering special family packages, as well as leisure, travel and dining discounts.
The National Family Council had announced earlier that it would designate the fourth Saturday of May each year as 'Family Day Out'.
Lim Soon Hock, co-chair, National Family Celebrations 08, said: "This year, we are trying to raise the awareness on the importance of families, make Singapore a great place for families and children, and promote the notion that every one of us in Singapore must make the family a top priority."
