Changi Airport Terminal 4
Here are some of the family-friendly features and things you can do at Changi Airport Terminal 4.
“No Kerb” Kerbside
UE SQUARE’S COSMIC SPACE EXPEDITION: Have An Out-Of-This-World Adventure!
CARNIVAL OF CHRISTMAS CHEER: Celebrate and Win at Plantation Plaza and Northshore Plaza!
SNOW MUCH TO CELEBRATE: Christmas Fun at The Centrepoint
The family-friendly experience at Changi Airport T4 starts at the kerbside, or more accurately, the lack thereof.
At the vehicle drop-off point at the departure level, in place of the usual kerb is a slope that allows passengers to wheel their luggage straight into the terminal building. This eliminates the need to have to heave a bag up a kerb and it is boon for families heading off for vacation with multiple pieces of luggage, strollers and kids.
Play ‘Spot the Petal Motif’
Ever find that the kids are bored and tired of waiting for the flight? At Changi Airport Terminal 4, you can play a game of “spot the petal”.
The petal motif is the central design element at Changi Airport Terminal 4. It can be found everywhere – from the carpet to the ceilings and even in the form of rubbish bins.
Keep the kids entertained by getting them to spot this ubiquitous petal motif hidden into the decor and furnishings of Changi Airport Terminal 4.
Digital Immersive Wall
One stressful part of travelling is clearing the security checks. The experience usually involves waiting patiently in line while trying to keep the kids from going insane. At Changi Airport Terminal 4, a 70-metre long digital screen at the security screening area will help to distract kids from the wait.
It features montages of scenes from around the region and also features a quirky animation of what happens to baggage after it has been checked-in.
Heritage Zone & Peranakan Love Story Show
Within Changi Airport Terminal 4’s transit area is a permanent Heritage Zone. This is a showcase of different styles of shophouses found in Singapore and has REAL retail stores set into the façade. The row of shophouses also holds a secret – a digital screen hidden amongst the shophouse facades. A short film, Peranakan Love Story, plays on this screen to entertain passengers, in which tells a tale of how a young couple falls in love.
Nearby, one storey above, there is a Peranakan Gallery with exhibits on Peranakan food, traditions and objects.
Changi Airport Terminal 4 Chandelier Playground & Slide
Those who are boarding flights at T4 must make time for this immensely fun playground with an epic slide that spans across two levels and a climbing net structure at its centre.
The children’s playground is located within the transit area of Terminal 4, next to the Heritage Zone. Children and adults above 1.1m can take the Chandelier slide towards the Chandelier playground.
After climbing up the ropes, the children can make their way down via fireman poles.

We bet that kids will love sitting on the collection of animal-shaped seats at the Heritage Zone.
Taxi Queue for Pregnant Ladies and Parents with Infants
