Unleash your inner child as Jewel Changi Airport’s massive indoor wonderland is now open for play. Besides housing a myriad of retail and dining options, the city’s ultimate stopover destination is also home to seven iconic play attractions and creative gardens.

Burn your energy by weaving through various mazes, bouncing on nets, sliding down an art sculpture, and admiring the stunning views of the HSBC Rain Vortex and Shiseido Forest Valley from above a glass bridge. Alternatively, take a breather at a misty garden, take a selfie with the many animal topiaries, and stop and smell the roses at a floral fantasia.

Canopy Park is open from 9am to 3am. But here's a word of advice: get your tickets ($4.50 for Singapore residents and $5 for standard entries) online beforehand at jewelchangiairport.com to avoid any sticky situation.

Get lost in Hedge Maze

The heat is on the minute you step into Singapore’s largest indoor hedge maze. But take it easy with a leisurely stroll through the manicured hedgerow. Otherwise, relive those cheesy chasing-in-the-maze scenes with your friends (or romantic other). The botanic labyrinth also features a couple of decorative gates and finger mazes that eventually lead you to a watchtower where you'll be rewarded with some of the best views.

Tickets (including Canopy Park admission) are at $10.80 (adult) and $7.20 (child and senior) for Singapore residents and $12 (adult) and $8 (child and senior) for standard entry.

Find yourself in Mirror Maze

You best believe this is the first mirror maze that features panels of reflectors in a garden setting. With the sunlight peeping through the hanging overhead foliage, the maze also makes a great backdrop for your next Instagram money shot. Don’t just admire your reflection; traverse through the maze and take on the challenges that present themselves at every nook and cranny. But before you taste the sweet victory of escaping the maze, immersive yourself in a kaleidoscopic chamber that’s decked with mirrors from top to bottom.

Tickets (including Canopy Park admission) are at $13.50 (adult) and $9 (child and senior) for Singapore residents and $15 (adult) and $10 (child and senior) for standard entry.

Bounce on Manulife Sky Nets

Leave all fears of heights at home. It's time to show off your jumping skills – leap, bounce or somersault – on the 250-metre-long net where the thrill factor comes in the form of an observation post that stands at eight-metre – the highest point. Alternatively, walk across the taut web suspending at 25-metres above ground. If you ever wonder what it feels like to walk on clouds, we reckon this is your best bet.

Tickets for Manulife Sky Nets – Bouncing (including Canopy Park admission) are at $19.80 (adult) and $14.40 (child and senior) for Singapore residents and $22 (adult) and $16 (child and senior) for standard entry.

Tickets for Manulife Sky Nets – Walking (including Canopy Park admission) are at $13.50 (adult) and $9 (child and senior) for Singapore residents and $15 (adult) and $10 (child and senior) for standard entry.

Level up at Canopy Bridge

Elevate your Jewel Changi Airport experience atop a 50-metre bridge that suspends 23-metres above ground. But here’s the catch: it features glass panel flooring where you can look down into the first level. The bridge also provides a brilliant panoramic view of Jewel as well as a great vantage point of the impressive 40-metre-high HSBC Rain Vortex.

Tickets are available at $7.20 (adult, child and senior) for Singapore residents and $8 (adult, child and senior) for standard entry.

Go down the Discovery Slides

Not your average playground, the four slides here are specially designed as an art sculpture as well as a playscape. Standing at a height of six-and-a-half-metre, the platform here also makes a great post to soak up the magnificent views of the lush greenery that surrounds the area. Once you’re done, have a dig at all four slides before moving to the next play thing.

Be on cloud nine at Foggy Bowls

What if you can play among clouds? Head up the Foggy Bowls where four concave bowls await you. These garden elements range from 30-centimetre to 65-centimetre, and thanks to the beauty of nature and science, the mist here is produced to give a cloud-like effect. Dreams do come true.

Run wild at Topiary Walk

Whip out your camera for a quick selfie with various animal topiaries like orangutans, crocodiles, elephants, peacocks and chameleons at this whimsical indoor jungle. Besides being a photo opp hotspot, the Topiary Walk also makes an ace spot to rest and recharge.

Waltz through Petal Garden

Prepare to be greeted with the heady riot of fragrance and colour as you enter Petal Garden. The seasonal floral displays here feature creative ensembles of a wide variety of flowers from all over the world. You don’t even have to be an anthophile to appreciate the gorgeous displays.
