A 45ft waterfall, indoor garden, and robot bartender are just some of the features of an airport that\u2019s re-opened after an extensive facelift.<\/p>\n

Terminal 2 at\u00a0Changi Airport in Singapore, which has previously been named the best airport in the world, is now also known for having the world\u2019s tallest indoor waterfall.<\/p>\n

And it’s all thanks to a mammoth 3.5 year renovation believed to have cost $240million. The digital waterfall, named The Wonderfall, was made from 900 tiles and is surrounded by a vertical garden.<\/p>\n

Continuing with the horticultural theme, there\u2019s also an\u00a0indoor garden to walk through plus the\u00a0Dreamscape Garden, which features 20,000\u00a0plants\u00a0and a \u2018digital\u00a0sky\u2019 which changes colour throughout the day.<\/p>\n

For some travellers, being delayed will be no problem as they immerse themselves in the terminal building, which is world’s away from the standard duty free shops at Heathrow and Gatwick.<\/p>\n

The upper lounge Forest of Li Bai showcases 18 types of whiskey, while you can enjoy classic\u00a0<\/span>Singapore<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>cuisine at the Gourmet Garden.<\/p>\n

Travellers can stock up at the two-storey\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Lotte Duty-Free\u00a0Wine\u00a0and Spirits\u00a0store, which has a robot bartender who serves underneath a LED light effect moon.<\/p>\n

The renovation of Terminal 2 has seen 226,000sq ft added to the building.<\/p>\n

Program director Lye Teck, said: “With T2, we sought to enhance the passenger experience, bringing together a modern terminal inspired by nature, with immersive digital experiences, innovative\u00a0technology<\/span>, as well as transformative\u00a0retail\u00a0and dining concepts that create a sense of place.”<\/p>\n

More than 90million passengers travel through Changi Airport every year.<\/p>\n

Named the best airport in the world by SkyTrax from 2013 to 2020, it has also received the accolade in the 2023 Awards.<\/p>\n

Other attractions at this airport include the first transit-side\u00a0<\/span>swimming<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>pool in the world, built in 1995.<\/p>\n

A cinema and sports arena were added in 1998. There are slides, a hedge maze, 1,000 tropical butterflies and a forest walkway.<\/p>\n
