Advice for parents preparing for Children's Day.
Bring children's ID cards, as some venues may require age verification and height measurement, especially buffet restaurants, to ensure children qualify for free meals. Also, plan your time carefully for promotions with limited hours. Clear your schedule this Saturday and take your children or grandchildren out to create wonderful memories together. Happy Children's Day 2026!
