Changi Airport Terminal 2 Attractions: The Wonderfall, Dreamscape & More
The Wonderfall
A highlight at Changi Airport Terminal 2’s departure hall is a 14-metre-tall digital display called The Wonderfall.
This 17-metre-wide digital display at the public area of the terminal shows a majestic waterfall cascading over megalithic boulders, bringing nature’s raw beauty indoors in amazing detail.
It is made up of 892 flat and flexi-curved tiles and blends in with the vertical green wall and stucco façade of Terminal 2.
The Wonderfall will show the captivating presentation, ‘Rhythms of Nature’, with music composed by Jean-Michel Blais. The performance presents a harmony of sight and sound, transforming the torrent into moments of grandeur before returning to its tranquil flow.
The four-minute-long presentation comes on every 30 minutes.
Hub & Spoke
For those who wish to get outdoors, Hub & Spoke, an outdoor section of Terminal 2 has a pay-per-use gym, shower facilities, bicycle rentals and eateries.
There is even a dog run and butterfly trail called Jurassic Bark about 350 metres away from Hub & Spoke.
Dreamscape
For passengers, the departure transit area holds more digital delights.
Dreamscape is an area filled with landscaped plants with a “digital sky” above that changes hues throughout the day.
This garden harmoniously combines digital content, horticulture, and fish, bringing a mix of experiences to this space.
The larger-than-life green structures display a wide array of plant life, featuring more than 20,000 plants selected from some 100 species from ferns to shrubs.
The digital sky opens an overhead window to the world above, emulating daylight and meteorological conditions in real time through integration with the airport weather system. From sunrise to the star-filled night sky, the dynamic garden and digital sky give passengers a sense of time and place while offering surprises in the form of passing planes, birds, hot air balloons, and clouds subtly shaped like animals.
Periodically, the regular forecast breaks as rain fills the sky and transforms the skylight into an underwater portal where fish, otters, and even a Sampan boat float by.
Fit&Fun Zone
Located at Terminal 2 (Transit), Level 3, just above Dreamscape, is Changi’s new Fit&Fun Zone. This area is designed to combat travel lethargy and provide a quick energy boost for travellers of all ages.
