Visiting Singapore Changi Airport- Most Beautiful Airport in the World

Beautiful flowers at Changi Airport

While family vacations can be fun, traveling with a bunch of restless children or grumpy teenagers can be quite the challenge. Even if you are not with children, traveling can be tiresome when you have long transits and have to spend hours in an airport. This is not so if you are one of the lucky ones who have transit in Singapore Changi Airport.

Singapore Changi Airport is not just a place where planes function out of and where people bustle about trying to make their flights. The airport grew into one of the busiest airports in the world, so to make time spent in Singapore Changi Airport more pleasurable, it is turned into something of a tropical wonderland. 

Consisting of four terminals and one huge lifestyle hub called Jewel Changi, the airport boasts of many different activities that you can indulge in while at the airport. In fact, if you are making a trip to Singapore, don’t be in a rush to catch your bus and leave the airport. Take the time to look around. You won’t regret it. 

The Green Scene

Sitting on a flight for a few hours is a great way to develop a few creaks in your bones and make you long for some breathing space. Those who enter Changi Airport can drop by one of the Green Zones that are nestled inside the busy port. Depending on which terminal you are in, you will be able to find a differently themed garden. 

Changi Airport terminal 1 has a lovely Cactus Garden, Terminal 2 has a peaceful Sunflower Garden, and Terminal 3 has a pretty Butterfly Garden. If you want to get a view of the biggest and most beautiful green area in the airport, you should head to Jewel Changi, where you will be able to view the stunning indoor waterfall. The waterfall is called the Rain Vortex and stands at 40 meters high. It is surrounded by lush tropical plants and around two thousand trees. 

Beat the Boredom

Long transits while traveling can get very boring, very fast. Not to mention, it would be great to have something to do to beat the stress of traveling, especially if you have a few hours on your hands. Rather than have to deal with bored and restless children, head to one of Changi Airport’s entertainment zones. 

In terminal 1, you can find an indoor playground, so those with young children can find something for their kids to do. If you want more, Changi Airport Terminal 2 has a cinema and a family zone. Changi Airport Terminal 3 has a lot going for it. You will find an indoor playground, a cinema hall, and the islands tallest slide. Terminal 4 has an entertainment corner that older children will find more to their taste. Here, you can find vintage-style arcade machines, Xbox Kinect games, and much more. 

If you visit the uppermost level of Jewel Changi, you will find that the entire floor has been dedicated to a Canopy Park, where you can find play areas filled with mist and garden mazes to navigate. 

Shop, Drop, then Feast

If you are a fan of shopping, then Changi Airport will not disappoint. There are numerous retail outlets across all the terminals and the Jewel.
