From Berlin’s magnificent Brandenburg Gate to Budapest’s Chain Bridge, Europe boasts countless architectural and historical wonders to be visited and admired – from right here in Changi Airport!
Head down to Changi Airport this June holidays (with your Sesame Street-themed Passport to Fun in hand) and step right into the heart of Central and Eastern Europe at the Discover Europe Exhibition. Slide down a thrilling bobsleigh ride (not a metaphor, but a real ride) and meet Elmo and friends in person!
It’s going to be a wild ride with adventures aplenty, so belt up and keep reading; here are five tips and trips you have to take to make the best of Europe in Changi!
1. Bring your cameras to take a snapshot of Europe
Notice anything different about the Sesame Street characters? Hint: Take a look at their outfits!
Whether you’re checking in to your flight or just checking in for fun, make sure to check out the Discover Europe Exhibition in Terminal 3 (T3)!
Whip out your camera(s) and strike your best poses – the photo opportunities here are endless.
Would you jump at the opportunity to take a jump shot at Budapest’s iconic Chain Bridge?
Can you guess which country this landmark belongs to?
If you answer questions from the event guide (which you can redeem along with many other passes if you exchange your shopping or dining receipts worth $60 or more) correctly, you can also bring home the most adorable…
The cutest storage solution for all your knick-knacks.
… miniature Sesame Street-themed Do-It-Yourself (DIY) paper boxes!
Pro-tip: Take part in the lucky draw found in your event guide and stand to win a trip to Europe (*gasp*).
P.S. Remember to get your Passport to Fun stamped here!
Location: T3, Departure Hall Level 2, in front of Central Immigration (Public)
Date and time: 25 May 2018 – 24 June 2018, 12:00pm - 11:00pm daily
2. Exchange your receipts for multiple rides down the Bobsleigh Adventure
Inspired by the Bobsleigh Track from Prague, this bobsleigh ride is sure to get you all spiralled (fired) up.
Some of you might know that the bobsleigh is only feasible on ice or snow. But now, even in sunny Singapore, you can try the bobsleigh right here in Changi!
Whizz down the narrow bends and sharp turns of the 30-metre curvy slide. If that’s too much exhilaration for one day, try out the 17-metre straight slide, which is considerably more straightforward.
You will be able to redeem not one, nor two, but three bobsleigh rides!
Redeeming three rides on the Bobsleigh Adventure is as easy as one-two-three – all you have to do is exchange your shopping or dining receipts (minimum spend of $60)!
With space for two on the bobsleigh, don’t worry – you can most certainly accompany your child through the wild twists and turns of (life) the ride.
P.S. It’s easy to get lost in the fun, so remember to get your Passport to Fun stamped here!
Location: T3, Departure Hall Level 2, next to Row 11 (Public)
Date and time: 25 May 2018 – 24 June 2018, 12:00pm - 11:00pm daily (Last registration: 10:30pm)
3. Time your visits to meet the Sesame Street characters live and in person
Will you say hello to your favourite Sesame Street characters this June?
Sing and dance along with Elmo, Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie, Abby Cadabby and Count von Count as they put up a spectacular show just for you at the ‘S is for Sharing’ Live Show. After the show, say hello and take a photo with your favourite characters during the Meet and Greet session!
P.S. Don’t forget to get your Passport to Fun stamped here.
P.P.S. You can also watch the FIFA World Cup 2018 here on selected dates and stand to win a Changi Gift Card* worth up to… *drumroll* $1,000!
Try your luck at the giant Gachapon machines, situated right next to the show stage.
These larger-than-life Gachapon machines are still around! Just reuse the same shopping and dining receipts to redeem a Gachapon token to try your luck at winning exciting vouchers and Changi Gift Cards.

4. Before you leave – bring a memento home
Bring your family – or friends – on a little Sesame Street shopping spree!
Get a souvenir from the Sesame Street Pop-Up Gift Store, conveniently located at the foot of the Bobsleigh Adventure. Whether you’re buying for friends, family or yourself, the Pop-Up Gift Store has all sorts of precious gifts and merchandise, from plush toys to lunch boxes, for you to choose from!

5. Pack your bags with these adorable Sesame Street Storage Boxes
This is it. The trip has come to an end and it’s time… to pack up.
Stay organised with these adorable storage boxes!
Packing up certainly becomes less of a chore when your storage solutions are this cute. Compared to the miniature DIY paper boxes, these Sesame Street Storage Boxes have much more in store for you (pun intended). Collect all three designs and you might discover that they come together to form a big picture!
To purchase a design at just $6.90, all you have to do is exchange your shopping and dining receipts (minimum spend of $60) from before!
P.S. You can get your Passport to Fun stamped if you purchase just one design.
Bonus
6. Take a little detour to Terminal 4 for a re-run of the old favourite…
The inflatable playground – back by popular demand and twice as fun!
Re-live your bouncy castle dreams at the Inflatable Fun with Sesame Street playground, which has now been relocated to Terminal 4 (T4).
This time, you can have a go at the inflatable playground not once, but twice! All you have to do is reuse the same shopping and dining receipts to redeem two passes (each pass admits two).
Location: T4, Departure Hall Level 2, next to Row 1 (Public)
Date and time: 25 May 2018 – 24 June 2018, 12:00pm - 11:00pm daily (Last registration: 10:30pm)
