SINGAPORE. Changi Airport is set to host “˜The Big Christmas’ celebration this festive season, featuring Christmas attractions, festive decor, shopping promotions and online contests for both travellers and Singapore residents.
At Terminal 3 (departure level), two of the biggest attractions await visitors – the “˜Big Musical Ball’ and “˜Big Snow Fantasy’.
Located in front of the central Departure Immigration gate is the 6m wide and 6m tall Big Musical Ball, which revolves, lights up, plays music and opens up – like a giant musical box – to reveal a little bauble tree. From 12-10pm on weekends and 7-10pm on weekdays, the Big Musical Ball will dispense candies and colourful balls at half-hour intervals. Balls with the Changi Airport logo can be exchanged for gifts at a nearby redemption booth.
At Terminal 3 (near Check-in Row 11) is another highlight – the Big Snow Fantasy, a massive inflatable bauble castle measuring 17m wide and 8m tall. Adults and children alike can bounce and slide on this castle, with snow flakes showering down around them. The enjoyment of this giant inflatable castle is free of charge. Operating hours of the Big Snow Fantasy are from 12-10pm daily.
