A night out at Changi Airport-Singapore
Singapore is comparatively a small country but it is the most happening place to live in. At no pint of time you will feel bored here. Despite various fests an activities going on I find Changi Airport one of the coolest place to hang out.
We have been to Changi airport few times for traveling purpose and we were always intrigued by the place. Since very long time we were planning for a night out there. This wish came true with the news of my parent in laws visiting Singapore. Since there flight's landing was scheduled for 4:00am, me and my husband decided to spend whole night exploring the place. Thankfully my husband supports me in these kind of weird activities.
Despite of a lot many shops and outlets at Changi airport, in this post I am going to focus only on the things that I found attractive and interesting.
So we reached there at 12 midnight by last bus from our place. You can use other conveyance options like mrt and taxi too. The bus dropped us at basement 2 of terminal T3. 
The entry was marked by few clothing shops which were obviously closed. Followed by a kids area, we reached Slide @t3. It has two levels, one from B2 for younger kids and from B1 for older kids. This was a fun ride from upper level to lower. I was also interested in trying this slide but I couldn't, for two reasons- one it was closed and two I didn't match the eligibility criteria.
Some more food and snack shops followed the kids zone along with beautiful fountain and sitting area. Soon we spotted another fun activity - drawing from a sort of big stencil which has various designs and engravings like I love SG. There were various colored crayons and white sheets available to draw the designs. Thankfully for this activity there was no eligibility criteria and I also tried my hand in sketching one of the design.
After satisfying my inner artist we moved further. Like any other place in Singapore, the airport also has a number of eating joints ranging from Starbucks, Koi, Yogurt and Desserts, Pizza joint to McDonald's and Swensens. Many of them closes by 10pm but nothing to worry about because few outlets like Starbucks at level 2 of terminal 2 is open 24hours.
After number of closed shops the next interesting thing that caught my attention was a reading area.
Since I am a huge fan of reading, a special place for this activity was something that I really appreciate. Just by the sight of this area my mind started making plans of getting a book and utilizing this space next time
Next in the list is the following giant structure called Daisy. This propeller has light sensor mounted, thus moving interactively with the onlooker's movement. This is located at the departure hall of the terminal T3. This sculpture represents the transportive nature of Singapore (both air and sea) along with flora of Singapore by giving the shape of flower to the propeller.
Greenery is one of the key feature of Singapore and airport is no exception. We were able to spot many of the following beautiful plants and flower collection while entering or exiting a terminal.
Along with various art pieces and sculptures one interesting feature of the Changi airport is that it is always ready for the upcoming events and festivals. The image below showcases the theme of Singapore National day 2017 - One nation together. The message and beauty of this installation is equally overwhelming.
One night at Changi airport was not enough for us. After that, we had visited the place many times but every single time it forced us to visit again. Are you also mystified by the beauty that an airport can hold? If yes please share your experience in the comments section.
