Changi Festive Village returns with carnival games, glamping at Jewel

The annual Changi Festive Village kicked off on Friday (Nov 4) with The Underground Carnival at Changi Airport Terminal 3. 

Visitors can expect over 30 indoor rides, game booths and photo opportunities at this year’s carnival, with activities spanning two floors. 

The Underground Carnival will run till Apr 2, 2023 and is split into three sections; The Great World, The Modern World and The Future World. 

The Great World is located in basement two of Terminal 3, and is a recreation of the Tua Seh Kai Great World Amusement Park featuring carnival games and rides, heritage photo zones, and a “mama shop” selling old school snacks. 

At The Modern World located in basement two of Terminal 3, visitors can test their aim, strength, and luck at various game booths such as the Ball the Clown ball toss or the King Hammer strongman challenge.

There will also be a 3D shooting gallery for players to pit their skills against each other. Winners will be able to bring home plushies. 

Those who love bumper cars and go-karts can then head over to basement three to experience The Future World’s Wonder Wheels bumper car attraction.

Visitors who visit The Future World from Nov 10 onwards can race down the Dino Kart 3.0 circuit as well. 

Credits for the rides and games can be purchased on the iChangi app or with a physical carnival card at the ticketing booths at the Terminal 3 Underground Carnival. 

Those who spend a minimum of $50 at airport landside outlets or $80 at FairPrice Finest and Jewel participating outlets with Mastercard or Changi Pay can get up to 10 free carnival credits. 

Glampcation will return to Jewel from Nov 5 to Jan 1, 2023. Each tent will be marine-themed and it can accommodate up to four guests. 

Glampers will also receive limited edition festive merchandise, Terminal 3 Underground Carnival credits, four tickets to River Wonders at the Singapore Zoo and more under the Glampcation package. 

Visitors who prefer a picnic package can opt for a Glampicnic from Nov 5 to Jan 1, 2023 instead. The Glampicnic accommodates up to six guests and comes with limited edition festive merchandise, as well as a pair of tickets to River Wonders at the Singapore Zoo.

The Glampicnic comes with a complimentary tea party set. Glampers are also welcomed to bring their own picnic basket or use the discount code to pre-order from Changi Eats. 

Changi Experience Studios ‘A Night at the Airport’ camp is also back for the third year running from Nov 19 to Dec 23. 

This year the camp will take on the theme of sustainability. Participants will embark on a race-style quest around the airport to learn about its sustainable efforts and other fun facts. 

They will also be able to create eco-friendly festive ornaments using recycled items and play airport-themed games. The day will end with a sleepover within the Changi Experience Studio.
