The Butterfly Garden 

Take a little detour to Terminal 3 and immerse yourself in a butterfly wonderland. Entering into the garden is like being whisk away to another place. Greeted by the soothing sounds of a grotto-waterfall and surrounded by lush greenery, a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of travel. This tropical haven is the world’s first butterfly garden in an airport, housing hundreds of butterflies, fluttering about at any given time.

The garden is home to approximately 50 species of butterflies. It’s a dynamic environment, where the population and variety of butterflies can change during different periods of the year, adding to the sense of wonder. Every time you visit you are not just passing through, you’re part of the garden’s ever evolving story.

An Educational Journey

Another example of Changi’s dedication and forward thinking, going above and beyond the typical airport experience. As well as a reminder that sometimes, the most delightful experiences can be found in the most unexpected places.

    1. Great idea. Seeing Singapore is good too but a connection through Singapore is perfect if only to see the myriad of attractions at the airport.
