On the highest level of Jewel Changi Airport, there is a recreational arena known as canopy park, that takes up about 75% of the usable space. Even though it seems to cater to children, those young at heart should still pay it a visit as I did a month ago!
Only issue; the arena is ticketed and prices vary depending on what you want to do. Bare basic is the canopy park which you can secure at just S$5.00 an adult and the most expensive option is Manulife Sky Nets (bouncing) that would set us back at S$22.00 an adult although it would also include entry to canopy park.
Self-serviced kiosk wasn't as intuitive when it comes to bundle packages and a human touch via the manned ticketing booth is always welcome! Lady on duty was friendly, as is the norm when it comes to Changi Airport, and we eventually settled with bundle package 1; it included admission to the following:
- Petal Garden
With COVID-19 pandemic still a global threat, please keep in mind the safe management measures as above. I think wearing masks is here to stay; and I am not too happy about it as masking up makes me breathless!
Mirror Maze - this was previously in the news because a child managed to cut himself. The maze was confusing with so many mirrors and it's totally possible to crash into them, thinking it's a clear path! However, there's a safety briefing before you step in, and one way to ensure you have no mirror in your path is to make use of the foam noodle dispensed by the service staff.
Hedge Maze - unlike the mirror maze, this was way easier to navigate. Said to be the largest hedge maze in Singapore, I have doubts as the outdoor one in Pasir Ris seems bigger.
Discovery Slides - I actually visited Jewel Changi Airport during the preview in April 2019 and was in awe of this humongous structure with a curvy, shiny underside.
As the name suggests, it has a few slides to elicit glees of excitement even from adults! A pity that one slide was closed due to COVID-19; a climb was also not operational as there's not enough manpower on a weekday to help with the helmet wearing and controls.
Foggy Bowls - guaranteed to be a favorite among kids who would frolic on the artificial turf, it's a mesmerizing experience when mist starts discharging from the 'bowls', which are concave indentations on the lawn. It's even more beautiful at night!
Manulife Sky Nets (Walking) - there is a bouncing option which we didn't take up and I am glad we didn't! As I was excited, I adeptly climbed up the net and started jeering at my friends who were taking too much time!
Bouncing section (green netting) was slightly higher and no, I don't think I would attempt that.
Petal Garden - it was said to have "creative displays of seasonal flowers from around the world.". Sadly, we couldn't enter as it was undergoing replacement of flowers, in view of the lunar new year.
There's a window for me to just put in my camera for the above shot, which wasn't much. I am thinking this would be quite similar, albeit on a much smaller scale, to the flower field at Flower Dome (Gardens by the Bay).
Coming to the last segment of our bundle package!
Canopy Bridge - the closest you can get to the top of the HSBC Rain Vortex; it features a glass bottom section in the middle and fog that was released every 10 minutes to make the walk, mystical. Frankly, not really worth the S$8.00 pricing if you buy it separately since 15 minutes (I am being ultra generous here) would be sufficient to clear this.
