Calling The Young And Young At Heart: First-of-its-kind Play Attractions At Jewel Changi Airport’s Canopy Park Now Open

The eagerly awaited Canopy Park attractions located on the top level of Jewel Changi Airport (Jewel) is now open to the public. It was official launched today, 10 June 2019. The picturesque 14,000 sqm space is home to seven iconic play attractions and creative gardens.

The first-of-its-kind play attractions created by top designers from Britain, France, Germany, Singapore and The Netherlands promise endless fun for travellers and residents alike. Guests can look forward to navigating their way through the Mirror Maze and Hedge Maze, walking or bouncing on the Manulife Sky Nets, exploring the sculptural playscape of Discovery Slides, and enjoying a gripping view of the HSBC Rain Vortex and Shiseido Forest Valley from the Canopy Bridge, a bridge with glass panel flooring suspended 23 metres above ground.

Integrated with the attractions are interactive garden spaces that encourage play and imagination. Foggy Bowls feature four gentle concave bowls with an element of mist and fog to create the experience of playing amongst clouds. Topiary Walk is a whimsical wonderland, featuring animal topiaries such as an orangutan, crocodile, elephant, peacock and chameleon. Petal Garden will boast seasonal displays of flowers. Along the main loop that connects these attractions are four noteworthy trees, including a pair of olive trees and the Lover’s Tree which earned its name because of its conjoined trunks.

After an exhilarating time playing in the attractions, those seeking respite from the excitement or a relaxed night out, will have the option to dine under the stars while perusing diverse menus from up to eight F&B outlets at Canopy Park.

In addition to the leisure attractions and F&B offerings at Canopy Park, Cloud9 Piazza is a communal space primarily dedicated to hosting activities. When not in use for events, the additional circulation space it provides will enhance the overall ambience for Jewel guests.

Ms Hung Jean, Chief Executive Officer, Jewel Changi Airport Devt, said, “Changi Airport holds a special place in the hearts of many, especially Singaporeans, and we want to extend this special bond for everyone who visits Jewel. The attractions and gardens on Canopy Park are designed for guests to relax or have a fun time with their families and friends, whether they reside in Singapore or are international travellers visiting Jewel.

When Canopy Park was conceptualised, we envisaged a green natural environment with play and leisure activities for people of all ages. Importantly, we wanted to create a space where activities that are traditionally conducted outdoors, are brought to an indoor environment so that they can be enjoyed under all weather conditions.”

To ensure the safety and the optimal experience of all guests when they visit the attractions, entry requirements will be implemented through a ticketing system on www.jewelchangiairport.com from 6 June 2019, 10am. Entrance fees for Singapore residents to Canopy Park is $4.50, while access to the various attractions will range from $7.20 to $19.80. There are also bundle packages to enjoy all or most of the attractions.

Members of the public are encouraged to use the trains or public buses when visiting Jewel. Apart from the Changi Airport MRT station, there are several bus services[1] operating at T1, T2 and T3. T1 is seamlessly integrated with Jewel via the Level 1 Arrival Hall, while T2 and T3 are linked to Jewel via air-conditioned pedestrian linkways.

In conjunction with the launch of Canopy Park attractions, Jewel has launched a series of adorable emotion-animated cartoon stickers of Jewel’s imaginative resident, the Pacific Swallow and its ladybug companion. There will be a total of 16 stickers representing a range of emotions related to Jewel’s dine, shop, play and fly experiences. These stickers will be rolled out in phases via GIPHY, an online gif platform and are available for use on Instagram Stories as well as other supporting social media platforms from mid-June 2019.
