On any given Sunday, Singaporean families make a beeline for Changi Airport. Their bags aren’t packed, they haven’t got their passports and they don’t have boarding passes. They don’t need them; they aren’t going anywhere. They’re at the airport because it’s just that good – so good that it’s been rated the best in the world by Skytrax for four years running. There are so many things to keep travellers – and locals – entertained that it’s impossible to explore them all in one visit. Changi is one of the world’s busiest airports and it’s a strategic stopover between continents. If you’ve ever flown between Australia and the northern hemisphere, you’ve probably spent some time at Changi.

- Changi Gardens
LET CHEERY BLOOMS BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY.
Butterfly Garden
Changi Airport proudly proclaims the Butterfly Garden to be the world’s first butterfly habitat in an airport. We would add that it has to be the world’s only butterfly habitat in an airport (prove us wrong). The steamy tropical garden is full of lush flowering plants, a six-metre waterfall and about 1000 beautiful butterflies.
Sunflower Garden
Roam through a field of sunflowers atop the Transit Hall. The vitamin D can help ward off jet lag and, if nothing else, the sight of a cheery yellow sunflower makes everything seem a bit brighter.
Enchanted Garden
Motion sensors trigger the Enchanted Garden so that it becomes a magical living, breathing world as visitors wander past. There are lighting displays underfoot, sounds and four giant glass sculptures filled with fresh flowers and ferns.
Orchid Garden
Orchids are rare and precious, though you wouldn’t know it at Changi, where there are more than 700 of the beauties on display. The exotic flowers are arranged to reflect the four elements of nature: earth, water, fire and air.

POWER NAP BEFORE YOUR FLIGHT. Changi has free-to-use rest areas all over its three terminals. Stretch out full length for a snooze between flights.
- Entertainment Deck
An Xbox Kinect room, MTV booth and PlayStation consoles can be found on the Entertainment Deck. And for anyone not game for gaming, there’s a cafeteria in which to while away the time.
