Here's what you can expect once it's officially opened
You will be able to walk on nets suspended three stories above the garden. And if the views alone aren’t exciting enough, a trampoline-like bouncing net will help get your heart racing.
There will be a new garden maze with six-foot hedges, created by maze master Adrian Fisher and will have a lookout tower for a bird’s eye view.
The topiary walk will feature larger than life stuffed animals.
Children will be able to play among the clouds in a new attraction designed by San Francisco’s The Exploratorium. The indoor flower garden will have giant floral sculptures too
NOTE: Anyone on a long layover in Singapore or looking to make Changi their final stop will be able to book a room at the Jewel’s new Yotel hotel.
