Jewel Changi Airport is shining bright like a diamond recently. The entertainment and retail lifestyle destination at Changi Airport which welcomed its first visitors in April 2019, did not get its chance to sparkle as much as it wanted shortly after its opening as Covid-19 had thrown a spanner in the works.
Now that air travel is resuming and visitors are returning in droves, Changi Airport’s crown jewel has been restored to almost its full glory.
Not only is Jewel a place for weary travellers and hungry patrons looking for a good meal, it is also a space for attractions and fun. The top floor holds a 14,000 sqm recreational area that has various attractions, including the Canopy Park. There are also head-turning features at Jewel Changi Airport like the Shiseido Forest Valley and HSBC Rain Vortex which has acclaimed international fame.
Jewel, together with Changi Airport’s other terminals, runs theme events to bring in some cheer during festive periods- like its Changi Festive Village which returns for the third year. This year, the event offers a myriad of activities aimed at giving visitors a visual and sensory treat.
Theme Attractions: The Avatar Realm At Changi Festive Village
As part of the Changi Festive Village celebrations for the year-end festive period of 2022, Changi Airport has created the Avatar Realm experience with Avatar installations located at various areas of the airport, including at Jewel. The theme follows the highly anticipated movie, Avatar: The Way of Water. At Jewel, the Canopy Park attraction, for example, has been transformed into an ocean-themed sea of blue, pink, purple, and teal with bioluminescent light displays during the night.

The Canopy Park also features a cave tunnel lined with ceiling lights and water effect projections, creating an immersive underwater-like experience.
Theme Attractions: Jewel-rassic Quest
