  • The Petal Garden – seasonal floral display.
  • Canopy Bridge – has a glass panel flooring in the center that provides a look through Jewel’s level 1.
  • Discovery Slides – composed of four integrated slides: two tube slides and two sliding surfaces.
  • The Hedge Maze – hedge walls reaching 1.80m in height. It has gates that can be pushed through to vary the direction of the maze.
  • Mirror Maze – Mirrors and other reflections are used throughout the maze to confuse you as you attempt to escape.
  • Walking Net – a tight web 25 meters above the ground provides an unparalleled sense of lightness.
  • Bouncing Net – feel the rush of almost weightlessness as you leap through this massive net with a length of 250 meters.

Tip: If you plan to explore the Jewel Changi and want hassle-free movement, check in your baggage at Baggage Storage & Wrapping by Smarte Carte at Level 1. Payment ranges from 5SGD to 18SGD (4USD to 13USD). It was easy to walk around Jewel Changi without our luggage, and we did not get bored while waiting for our hotel check-in time. Wishing we had more spare time to finish all the corners, haha!
