Popular venues usually mean more people, and if you drive, that means more expensive parking charges too. But fret not, we have compiled a list of alternative (cheaper) car-parks at popular family venues!
*Remember to check with the respective car-parks for the most updated charges.
1. Revenue House instead of United Square
United Square is a popular weekend venue for families who go there for the enrichment schools, shops and food.
Parking charges at United Square start from $2.20 but just across the road (or through the underpass) is Revenue House where you will enjoy per entry parking at just $1.60 on the weekend!

If you are heading to the Bugis Junction area in the evenings, you may want to consider parking at the Fu Lu Shou Complex, just across the street.
And for a double win, try Raffles Hospital where you enjoy lower parking rates at Raffles Hospital AND you avoid the ERP! But you do have to walk further (but exercise is good for you too!)
