With Singapore Armed Forces Day (SAF Day) coming up on July 1st, there’s never been a better time for NSmen to rediscover the perks they’ve rightfully earned. While many are familiar with the headline offers from SAFRA, there are dozens of underrated, underused deals that can seriously level up your everyday lifestyle—from zoo visits to cinema nights, dining, and more.

These “hidden gems” are perfect for celebrating SAF Day in meaningful (and cost-saving) ways — whether you’re heading out solo, bringing your partner, or spending quality time with family.

30% Off Mandai Wildlife Parks: The Chill SAF Day Break

Take a well-earned weekday break to celebrate your service with 30% off admission to Mandai’s top wildlife parks—including Singapore Zoo, River Wonders, Night Safari, and Bird Paradise.

SAF Day = Movie Night Done Right

SAFRA members enjoy discounted Shaw movie tickets every day—but if you’re planning something special for SAF Day weekend, why not use your NS LifeSG credits to redeem a cinema bundle (movie ticket + popcorn + drink) at a steal?

Also, weekend movie tickets are just $13.50 with SAFRA, and popcorn combos come with a $1 discount. Perfect for a chill SAF Day date or father-son bonding moment.

Celebrating SAF Day with a small treat for yourself? SAFRA x Atome lets you split your payments and get up to 20% off as a new user (or 10% for regulars). Ideal if you’re eyeing gadgets, sneakers, or home upgrades to reward your year of hard work.

Game Time = Me Time

Take advantage of those SAF Day credits by heading to Clique Gaming or Billiards at SAFRA Jurong or Choa Chu Kang. Redeem 1.5 hours free with just 2 hours of paid time. Whether it’s FIFA with your bros or a casual round of pool, it’s a low-key way to unwind.
