Rushing to the airport, flying to another country, transiting and waiting for another flight... ah it’s been so long since the last time we set foot in an airport! Yeah, but in Singapore’s Changi Airport, an airport is apparently more than just that. You can still go to the airport for a fun day out even without a boarding pass.

In fact, just situated in front of Terminal 1 is Jewel Changi Airport, a complex that offers multi-faceted experience that includes the world’s tallest indoor waterfall – HSBC Rain Vortex, play attractions, as well as numerous shopping and dining options.

On the fourth level of Jewel sits Changi Experience Studio, the first-of-its-kind digital attraction that tells interesting stories of Changi Airport in a way that brings wonder and delight to both adults and children alike. It is a place where the state of the art technology, interactive games, and the aviation world come together as one. And the good thing is, you can use your SingapoRediscovers Vouchers through Traveloka to indulge yourself in this magical experience.

Your exploration of Changi Experience Studio begins with the Travel Guide - a personal interactive device that accompanies and guides you on your journey through the studio. The seemingly ordinary card has technology embedded within and enables active interaction and spontaneous engagement between the visitor and the exhibits in different ways. This technology is used for the first time both in Singapore and in Asia.

With the advanced technology, the stories of the airport will unfold magically as you hold the card at the designated spots. You can also compete with your family and friends to dominate the leaderboards at the game stations!

In total, there are 20 different interactive touchpoints in over 10 content zones where you can delve into the history of Changi, go behind the scenes of Changi’s operations, and also play airport simulation games.

A highly recommended game would be ‘AmazingRunway’ - a game that simulates the actual race event on Changi’s runway between a race car and a jetliner in 2009. You can form a team representing either side and pedal away to victory! This adrenaline-rushing runway race is one game that will literally take your breath away.

Also another interactive touch point you have to try is the magical garden, “Garden of Harmony”. Here, teamwork comes to life aseach visitor will have to use the Travel Guide (your personal interactive device for your journey through the Studio) by moving it up and down to "play" a musical instrument to perform a symphony - that plays out into a mesmerizing audio-visual spectacle.

Or if you think tasks like collecting and maneuvering airport trolleys, assigning taxis and passengers to respective taxibays, and spotting prohibited items by looking at X-ray screens are easy, give the games stations a go. With numerous interactive selection of games in the studio, we suggest that it is best to set aside a good 2 to 2.5 hours for the whole immersive journey, especially if you are competitive players.

Now, if you have decided to put Changi Experience Studio on your to-visit list, a pro tip for you - take a picture at the balcony within the Changi Experience Studio. It has one of the best views of the HSBC Rain Vortex and without the crowd like other parts of Jewel. In fact, there are many interesting photo spots and with the airport being something close to the local’s hearts, there are visitors who go to the attraction to take wedding photos, celebrate their birthdays and anniversaries!

Another tip - if you love shopping, try your hands at the game ‘Raffle’. Score high points to get discount vouchers which you can use at the gift shop, where local products and travel products made by creative talents are showcased.

Lastly, keep your eyes peeled while you’re giving your best shots at the various games and interactive stations and if you’re lucky, you might find yourself star struck. Changi ExperienceStudio is also celebrities’ favorite places to visit. The attraction has seen American professional mixed martial artist, Kelvin Gastelum; Indian actress in Netflix’s Little Things, Mathila Palker; Chinese actor, Oliver Chen Xingxu, and Indonesian celebrity, Marissa Nasution.

You can visit the Changi Experience Studio anytime, but weekends are the busiest days. Come before 1 pm to avoid the crowd. Also, redeem your SingapoRediscoverVouchers on Traveloka to get more special discounts and offers.
