It has been 5 years since Jewel Changi Airport opened its doors and welcomed tourists and locals alike to nature-inspired retail and lifestyle spaces right at the heart of Changi Airport. In that short amount of time, The Jewel has made a name for itself by featuring stunning architectural design and unique attractions. These include Rain Vortex, which is the world’s tallest indoor waterfall; and Canopy Park, which offers a lush escape with its beautiful gardens and playful installations. In addition to bringing people close to nature, Jewel Changi Airport also has spaces like Discovery Slides and Changi Experience Studio that are designed to make art, science, and history more fun and interactive.
For its five-year anniversary, Jewel Changi Airport is hosting a range of events and promotions so that travellers, shoppers, foodies, and families can all celebrate this milestone together. This year’s theme is “What a Feelin5” and it will be celebrated in different spaces in Jewel between 24 May and 11 August 2024. Here’s a closer look at visitors can do at the lifestyle hub during this period:
Enjoy Jewel Blooms
Have you ever attended a floral festival in Singapore? If you haven’t yet or if you simply want to relive the moment, check out Jewel Blooms at the Canopy Park. From 24 May to 11 August, visitors can explore the many floral arrangements that are specifically designed to celebrate Jewel’s 5th anniversary in style. To commemorate a fun day out, Pictureworks is offering a free 2R photo with a limited edition Jewel 5th Year Anniversary overlay to the first 50 Canopy Park guests each day. This is a great way to capture memories with family and friends amidst the stunning gardens that The Jewel is known for.
There are plenty of picturesque places where visitors can have their photos within Canopy Park. These include the Discovery Slides, Foggy Bowls, Petal Garden, and Topiary Walk. You can also choose to explore and have your pictures taken at the large-scale floral art installation, created by Japanese artist Megumi Shinozaki. This creation features preserved hydrangeas from Japan and 10,000 bundles of hybrid starchis.
Participate in the Jewel Bouncing Net Challenge
If you want to feel weightless during your visit, you can check out the Bouncing Net, one of Jewel’s most popular attractions. Here, you’ll be suspended 8 metres from the ground while enjoying a bird’s eye view of the lush surroundings.
For thrill-seekers, the Jewel Bouncing Net Challenge on 27 July might be of interest. This high-energy competition invites participants aged 16 to 59 to test their agility and endurance for some excitement and good, competitive fun. More than these, though, winners stand a chance to win up to two Economy Class tickets to Paris on Singapore Airlines. Meanwhile, the first and second runners-up will receive Jewel Gift Vouchers worth up to SGD 1,000. Do note that due to the event, the Bouncing Net will be closed to the general public on the day of the competition.
