WHAT TO EXPLORE

Admire the 40-meter-high Rain Vortex,

Jewel’s centerpiece and the tallest

indoor waterfall in the world, from Level

4’s Lobby H, where the afternoon

sun creates a rainbow at its base. For

another perspective on the Forest

Valley, descend to the Level 2 Viewing

Deck. Instead of taking the elevators,

take a relaxing walk down the East Trail

through the greenery, down to the base

of Rain Vortex.

WHERE TO PLAY

On Level 5, Canopy Park features the

Topiary Walk, whose floral displays

and bushes are shaped like animals,

as well as a clutch of newly opened

attractions. Bounce along the Sky Nets,

wander the Hedge Maze, let out your

inner child at Discovery Slides, and

make sure you cross the glass-bottom

Canopy Bridge, where you can get a

closer look at the Rain Vortex.

WHERE TO EAT & SHOP

Perfectly proportioned Angus beef

burgers and crinkle-cut fries are a must-

try at Southeast Asia’s first outpost of

Shake Shack. For something local,

the laksa and satay at Violet Oon

Singapore is sure to hit the spot. GIFT

by Changi Airport stocks Changi-

themed goodies and lifestyle products;

the first Pokémon Center in Asia

outside Japan offers plenty of toys such

as the Singapore-exclusive Pikachu

plushies clad in a pilot’s uniform.
