My Experience at Canopy Park (Jewel Changi Airport) Full Guide + Cheap Tickets – Mindboggling Mazes, Height Defying Walking Nets & More

Canopy Park opened at Jewel Changi Airport on the 10th June 2019 and has received plenty of media coverage and public interest that I was quite curious to check it out during a preview organized by the Changi Airport folks along with the Changi Experience Studio. Images of a large net suspended over the higher levels of Jewel Changi Airport seemed to capture the public’s imagination, adding to the overall allure of the mixed-use development.

If you are thinking of visiting Canopy Park and are wondering how the attractions really are like and whether they are worth your money, hopefully this guide can present a well-balanced view of the various facilities and attractions within this 14,000 square meter theme park.

First of all, you have to know that entrance fees to the various attractions don’t exactly come cheap. While the standalone ticket that allows you to enter the Canopy Park alone is priced at a very reasonable S$4.50 for residents / S$5 for non-residents, the ticketed areas require top-ups between S$6 to S$15 per person per attraction while bundled tickets for the entire Canopy Park experience can go as high as S$54 per adult / S$39 per child. If you go for the whole thing, you may find Canopy Park to be the second most expensive theme park in Singapore, behind Universal Studios Singapore but well-above the Night or River Safaris or the various attractions in Sentosa.

Update: Given the current situation, cheaper bundle tickets are now available for Canopy Park. Read until the end for pricing details on the new bundles!

Here is a rundown of the various attractions at Jewel Changi Airport’s Canopy Park:

Discovery Slides

Designed for both adults and children alike, the Discovery Slides is a play attraction consisting of 4 different slides – some conventional, others less so. The more daring ones can check out the vertical drop which requires being suited in a sack. The entire slide itself is also a sculpture that’s partly inspired by the Chicago Mirror Ball. Visitors can stand at certain sections of the slide and appreciate the overview of the Shiseido Forest Valley from the reflection. 

Standalone Fee: None, entry is included in the basic Canopy Park admission fee of S$4.50 for residents / S$5 for non-residents

Foggy Bowls

Functioning more as a photo opp, the Foggy Bowls features four gentle concave bowls in various depths ranging from 30cm to 65cm. These bowls will have mist emanating from one of them at any given point in time and visitors are meant to jump in while the fog is coming out for that perfect instagram shot. 

Standalone Fee: None, entry is included in the basic Canopy Park admission fee of S$4.50 for residents / S$5 for non-residents

Topiary Walk

Another photo opportunity, you’ll find animal topiaries in this section including orangutans, crocodiles, elephants, peacocks and chameleons. If the thought of taking photos alongside cute animals made of flowers appeals, then this is the place for you.

Standalone Fee: None, entry is included in the basic Canopy Park admission fee of S$4.50 for residents / S$5 for non-residents

Petal Garden

This 220 square meter indoor garden will have an ever changing display of flowers, depending on the season. I did not really get to see this – only saw it from afar – so I cannot comment. But it looked to me like a smaller version of what Gardens by the Bay offers inside its greenhouse.

Standalone Fee: None, entry is included in the basic Canopy Park admission fee of S$4.50 for residents / S$5 for non-residents

Hedge Maze

Inspired by those hedge mazes in Europe, the version in Canopy Park is much smaller but is supposed to be the largest (maybe also the only one?) in Singapore. Watch out for a surprise here – certain parts of the maze have a motion sensor where dozens of flowers will suddenly pop out as folks pass by. It’s also possible to observe the maze from above, with a circular look out platform in the middle of the maze.

Verdict: Seeing the flowers popping out due to the motion sensor is probably the highlight of this maze and will definitely amaze the kids. Other than that, this maze isn’t really particularly challenging to navigate.

Standalone Fee (inclusive of Canopy Park admission): S$10.80 (adult) / S$7.20 (child/senior) for residents | S$12 (adult) / S$8 (child/senior) for non-residents 

Mirror Maze

The most thrilling attraction in Canopy Park in my view. I was there alone and for a minute I thought I’d be stuck there forever. From outside, this maze is actually not that big but the mirrors within from all directions will definitely test one’s sense of perception. Which is the actual pathway and which is the mirror? As an added tip, if you are entering the mirror maze with kids, do keep an extra eye on them as they may bump their heads against the mirrors.

Verdict: If I had to choose just one maze to enter at Canopy Park, I would go for the Mirror Maze.

Standalone Fee (inclusive of Canopy Park admission): S$13.50 (adult) / S$9.00 (child/senior) for residents | S$15 (adult) / S$10 (child/senior) for non-residents 

Manulife Sky Nets – Walking

The part of Canopy Park that has made its rounds in media. The walking portion of the Sky Nets is suspended on top of the retail section of Jewel Changi Airport, with views of the shops and people below. This makes for a thrilling attraction especially in the middle circular areas but is probably not for those with a fear of heights.

Standalone Fee (inclusive of Canopy Park admission): S$13.50 (adult) / S$9.00 (child/senior) for residents | S$15 (adult) / S$10 (child/senior) for non-residents 

Manulife Sky Nets – Bouncing

The bouncing section of the Sky Nets probably got the most positive feedback from the people in my group. The giant net bounces naturally even as one just attempts to walk through it. At its highest point, you can bounce on an 8 meter high look out. 

Due to the bounce-y nature of this attraction, it’s not for folks who have high blood pressure or pregnant women. I also felt a bit light headed after getting off this net. 

Difference Between Manulife Sky Nets Walking versus Bouncing

Other than the obviously bounce-y nature of the bouncing Manulife Sky Nets, the main difference between the bouncing and walking segment is that the former is targeted towards those seeking fun while the latter is more for the thrill – with larger holes on the nets giving one the impression of being suspended in mid-air. My personal preference goes to the Sky Nets bouncing segment as it was really quite fun. I do not have acrophobia so the Sky Nets walking segment did not thrill me as much. Besides, the holes on the nets in the Sky Nets walking segment were too large and were quite uncomfortable to walk on.

Standalone Fee (inclusive of Canopy Park admission): S$19.80 (adult) / S$14.40 (child/senior) for residents | S$22 (adult) / S$16 (child/senior) for non-residents 

Canopy Bridge

This 50-meter long bridge allows guests to have a different vantage point to glimpse the rain vortex. It is made of glass panel flooring and one can see through the floor for that added thrill factor. Another thing to note is that the glass panel flooring is slightly frosted so it’s not as thrilling as, say, the Rainbow Skywalk in Penang or Mahanakhon Skywalk in Bangkok. An important note to parents is that among the attractions within Canopy Park, this is the one that would least appeal to kids so you can save the extra admission fees by skipping this. On the other hand, the Canopy Bridge may appeal more to adults due to the instagrammable view. This is probably one of the nearest vantage points you have to the rain vortex. 

Verdict: Unless you are extremely particular with your photos and need to be as near the rain vortex as possible, you can save yourself a few $ and skip this segment.

Standalone Fee: S$7.20 for residents | S$8 for non-residents 

Tips For Canopy Park

• Bring extra clothes. Despite the air-conditioned setting, attractions such as the 2 sky nets will make you work up a sweat!
• There are several pricing tiers available for Canopy Park so it’s probably best to plan ahead which attractions you’d like to experience before heading there. If you choose the package that provides access to ALL attractions, you might find the entrance fees to be quite steep. To get the essential Canopy Park experience without spending too much, I would suggest either going for just one of the mazes OR to choose either the Sky Nets – Walking or Sky Nets – Bouncing but not both. This would keep your admission fees at a reasonable level at below S$20 per person. If you are deciding which of the two to get, I would have to say the walking one provides more thrill due to the perception of being above the mall while the bouncing one has more smaller zones within which would keep kids preoccupied for a longer period of time.
• Wear covered shoes. You’ll need it to get through the sky nets.
