As we passed through the terminal, we paid the Changi Airport Terminal 4 Playground a visit to have a closer look at this upcoming feature at the airport terminal.
Before you get to the Chandelier Playground, why not take the slide down to access it? The slide is meant for anyone above 1.1 m in height. It was such a delight taking the fast path towards the Chandelier.
A Climbing Chandelier
The Chandelier playground at Changi Airport Terminal 4 is both an art piece – beautiful to look at – and a play structure. Bright crimson red, it is a netted, climbing play structure which passengers in the departure area, children and adults alike, can climb.
From a distance, the playground looks like a chalice. It has a narrow base at the bottom and opens up as it reaches to the ceiling. According to reports, it was built using 10 km of rope with a steel frame that weighs in at 15 tonnes.
At the base of the playground, a spiralling rampway made of thick red rope swirls upwards.
The payoff for climbing up the red rampway is a rope platform.
What goes up must come down and from the rope platform, it is possible to head back down to the ground using a series of fireman poles and intermediate platforms within the central core of the Changi Airport Terminal 4 Playground.
The Chandelier playground at Changi Airport Terminal 4 is said to be able to hold up to 50 persons at any point in time.

T4 Entertainment Corner
Apart from the T4 Chandelier Slide and the Chandelier playground, there is the T4 Entertainment Corner to visit. Located near G19, this place has a foosball table, several game machines all free to play! There are three retro game machines, two race car machines to get hyped up before your flight.
For parents with young children, visit the play spots for great ways to expend their energy before the flight or even spend the time playing if flights get delayed. The flight delays can turn out to be blessings in disguise with such fun areas at Changi Airport Terminal 4.
