Jewel Changi Airport is an oasis of shopping, dining, and nature-inspired attractions.
Ah Jewel Changi Airport, another gem that puts Singapore on the map thanks to extra AF features like the world’s tallest indoor waterfall at 40 metres high (hello, HSBC Rain Vortex), over 280 unique retail and dining options, and a hefty 1.7 billion-dollar price tag. There are also a number of attractions that’ll keep you occupied. In fact, we spent close to three hours during our first visit. Buckle up for our guide to Jewel Changi Airport.
Guide to Jewel Changi Airport: Things to do
1. Canopy Park
Level five of Jewel Changi Airport is a true wonderland for young and old. The ticketed attraction will have you and the kids playing around the Discovery Slides, Foggy Bowls, Petal Garden and Topiary Walk. If you’re looking to extend your fun, make it a full-day sesh. The sprawling 14,000 sqm area also has a separate admission for the Canopy Bridge, Hedge Maze, Mirror Maze, Bouncing Net and Walking Net attractions.

2. HSBC Rain Vortex
The attraction that put this mall on the map looks just as magnificent in real life. Lose yourself at the HSBC Rain Vortex, the tallest indoor waterfall in the world. At 40 metres high, the seven-storey waterfall flows from the roof through to basement three. Stay on to catch the nightly HSBC Light and Sound Show – it’s a spectacle you shouldn’t miss.

Surrounding the Rain Vortex is Shiseido Forest Valley, a lush green oasis that looks like a scene from Jurassic Park. Take a stroll through the walking trails on Jewel’s top level and admire the rocky falls and soothing mists at the eastern and western trails. The space is open 24/7.

Brought to you by the folks behind Cajun On Wheels, Sampanman follows suit by offering halal seafood. It takes a page from the former brand’s seafood bucket concept by serving seafood on a custom-made sampan boat grill. The presentation is a nod to Singapore’s humble past as a fishing village.

Who else remembers the snaking queues that formed at the first outpost in Singapore? We sure did. Nine outlets (and counting) later, the popular American fast food chain still impresses with fluffy potato burgers buns, thick milkshakes, and crinkle-cut fries. We also love how the brand collaborates with local artists, and has a Singapore-exclusive pandan shake.
