Changi Airport T2 Now Open with Digital Waterfall
Ready to step into a digital dreamscape? Head over to Changi Airport Terminal 2 to immerse yourself in a four-storey multimedia digital waterfall display and wander through an air-conditioned garden. The towering waterfall known as The Wonderfall is displayed across a 892-tile screen and will feature a four-minute musical show every half hour. Sit back and relax as you take in the mesmerising digital ‘sky’ that mimics the airport’s weather conditions in real time. Kids (and grown-ups) can explore more than 20,000 plants and a fish pond with a transparent platform, as they enjoy the sounds of more than 100 wildlife creatures. Here, you’ll get access to 16 airlines that take you to 40 cities, and you can shop at new retail stores and F&B options like Funko, Australian cafe Jones The Grocer, and even a liquor-tasting lounge with a robot bartender (only in the transit area).
Deets: Open daily

As you hop on board, you’re greeted by the original windows, driver seats, and steering wheels – a nod to the Scania bus’s past. Room rates start from $398 per night for a bus, sorry, room, that can accommodate three with a king-size bed, sofa bed and bathtub. One room even has bunk beds and another has a wheelchair-accessible toilet located just outside the room. Bookings for The Bus Collective can be made now for stays from 1 December onwards.
