The glass dome opens above you like a precise machine—steel ribs catching light while water threads down through the centre in an engineered cascade. You step from the airport terminal into a humid, green room where trees and shrubs crowd pathways and glass elevators lift visitors to rooftop gardens and creative play spaces.

Jewel opened in 2019 as part of Changi Airport’s expansion, designed to blend retail, dining and public green space under a single glass and steel dome.
Conservation
The project transplanted thousands of trees and shrubs and uses energy‑management systems; visitors are asked to stay on paths and avoid disturbing plantings to protect the indoor ecosystem.

Expect indoor humidity
The Forest Valley is climate controlled but humid—light, breathable clothing and comfortable, non‑slip shoes make walking easier.
Bring a compact umbrella or rain jacket
Singapore weather can produce sudden downpours when traveling to/from the airport; an umbrella is handy despite the indoor location.
Charge your camera
There are several elevated viewpoints and the Rain Vortex for low‑light photography—bring a charged phone or camera and a small tripod if you plan longer exposures.
Comfortable walking shoes
Polished indoor surfaces and several short walks make supportive, non‑slip shoes useful.
Light rain jacket or compact umbrella
Singapore’s tropical weather can change quickly between travel segments to the airport and back.
Refillable water bottle
Stay hydrated in the humid indoor environment; water stations and outlets are available nearby.
Camera or smartphone with extra battery
Multiple vantage points and the Rain Vortex create strong photo opportunities—extra power helps if you plan to shoot often.
