How to kill time in Singapore Changi Airport

Singapore Changi Airport is the World’s Best Airport for three consecutive years running. If you are having to transit through Singapore, we can guarantee you’ll never want to leave. So, what exactly is all the buzz about?

Terminal 1
Rooftop Swimming Pool

Take a dip in the rooftop swimming pool while you watch the airplanes fly by or relax in the Jacuzzi for a small fee of SGD17 per person. The charge includes use of the shower facilities, a towel and a complimentary drink from the poolside bar.  You can find the swimming pool near the Aerotal Airport Transit Hotel at Terminal 1, Departure Transit Lounge, Level 3 (near D Gates).

The Social Tree

Located in the Central Piazza, right after the immigration counters, is The Social Tree. At almost nine metres tall, you can’t miss it. Surrounded by eight touch-screen photo booths, The Social Tree allows you to share your photos and videos of Changi and Singapore on this memory capsule for years and decades to come. Each time you visit Singapore Changi Airport you will be able to retrieve and re-live your digital memories.

The Shilla Duty Free Stores

The Shilla Duty Free pride itself on being the largest beauty store in Asia Pacific, with a wide range of international brands and Korean skincare brands. Although the Shilla Duty Free Stores are in all three terminals across Singapore Changi Airport, each has its own unique offering. The Shilla Duty Free in Terminal 1 focusses on the organic beauty products.

Terminal 2
Sunflower Garden

Tucked away from all the hustle and bustle, is the Sunflower garden. With majestic views of the runway, this rooftop haven features several varieties of sunflowers sure to brighten up your day. Or by night see the garden transformed with special lighting.

Entertainment Deck

Located right next to the Sunflower Garden, is the Entertainment Deck. This is your one-stop multimedia centre for all round fun. From Xbox 360 and Kinect stations to a movie theatre and MTV booth. You’ll have hours of fun with family and friends, this centre is perfect for those long connections.

Enchanted Garden

The Enchanted Garden is in the Departure Transit Lounge, Level 2. As you weave in and out of the garden it comes to life with the sounds of nature and blooming flowers. The centrepiece will leave you in awe, as you look up at the four giant glass bouquet sculptures adorned with a mosaic of shimming stained-glass. Within the glass bouquets are a variety of freshly-cut flowers and soft ferns.

Terminal 3
The Slide @ T3

Race down TheSlide@T3, Singapore’s tallest slide and the world’s tallest slide in an airport. Towering at 12 metres high (4 storeys tall), you’ll be speeding down, reaching speeds of up to 6 metres per second. And for every $10 spent at Singapore Changi Airport in a single same day receipt, you can redeem one ride at the Terminal 3 Level 1 Information Counter.

Butterfly Garden

This is the world’s first Butterfly Garden in an airport. It is bursting with tropical butterflies, lush greenery and a 6-metre grotto-waterfall. You will see around 1000 tropical butterflies from as many as 40 species during the different seasons of the year. You will be able to get up close to the butterflies as they feed.

One of the main attractions of Singapore’s Changi Airport, is that even though you are passing through the tiny island, you will be able to explore the sights and sounds of Singapore with one of the free tours. If your stop over is over 5.5 hours and less than 24 hours, you will be able to embark upon either the Heritage Tour or the City Sights Tour.

The Heritage Tour will take you through Singapore’s past and present, as you visit Chinatown, Little India, Kampong Glam and with a short stopover in Merlion Park, where you can take a photograph with the symbol of Singapore. The City Sights Tour showcases modern Singapore. You’ll see the magnificent cityscape and world-class attractions such as the Singapore Flyer, Marina Bay Sands and the Esplanade, all light up in their night lights.
