Installations inspired by "Avatar: The Way of Water" at Changi Airport

Changi Festive Village returns to Changi Airport and Jewel Changi Airport this holiday season from November 11 to January 2, 2023. Activities include installations inspired by "Avatar: The Way of Water" which will be released in theaters on December 15.

Installations inspired by "Avatar: The Way of Water" are on show at Changi Airport’s T3 Departure Hall, with a large replica of the home of the Na’vi, the characters from the movie. Visitors can explore their home, see replicas of the residents, and see light and sound shows. In the basement there are more than 30 carnival game booths and rides at the T3 Underground Carnival, including go-kart racing.

At Jewel, the 16-meter-tall Prudential Singapore Jewel Christmas tree returns, surrounded by snowfall at the Shiseido Forest Valley. Visitors can watch an Avatar-themed light and sound show at the HSBC Rain Vortex, see marine life on digital screens at Canopy Park, and enjoy family camps at the Changi Experience Studio.
