Changi Experience Studio at Jewel, opening 10 June 2019, is an attraction that tells the story of Changi Airport in fun and interactive ways. Found on Level 4 of Jewel Changi Airport, Changi Experience Studio will bring you on a interactive journey through Singapore’s iconic airport using new and novel experiences.
There are more than 20 touchpoints laid out across 10 zones at Changi Experience Studio. And, after our visit on a media preview, we were left impressed! There had obviously been a lot of thought and effort put into making the Changi Experience Studio fun and engaging; it is unlike any other experience that we have come across at other airports on our travels.
Changi Experience Studio Travel Guide
If every journey begins as a blank page, at Changi Experience Studio that blank page is the Travel Guide.
You will receive the brochure-sized Travel Guide as you enter the attraction. Open it up and it looks blank page inside. However, this piece of cardboard is really a smart device disguised as a blank page brochure. You will use the Travel Guide to activate the experiences within the attraction by placing it at designated spots.
Cloud
Cloud is the first zone at Changi Experience Studio. This dream-like area filled with fluttering is where you will get acquainted to using the Travel Guide.
Time Tunnel
Take a walk through Singapore’s aviation history and view informative information and historical photos of the airport. It is amazing how far the airport has come over the years and developed into a modern destination in itself.

Changi Airport’s connections to the rest of the world come into spotlight at Sky Deck. It is designed to look like an airside operations room, or at least as how we’d imagine it to look like. Use the Travel Guide to learn more about destinations and nodes in the global air travel network.

Arena
The fun and games continue at Arena. We particularly liked the trolley handler game which allowed us to live out our secret fantasy of running around the airport to collect all the stray trolleys strewn about.
Garden of Harmony
Garden of Harmony pays tribute to the countless people who must work in concert together at Changi Airport to keep it running.
Follow the digital butterflies that lead through the garden before coming together with fellow visitors to make beautiful symphonic music.
