Miffy’s Whimsical Garden: A Delightful Adventure at Changi Airport

Changi Airport has transformed into a delightful wonderland as it welcomes Miffy’s Garden, a charming installation celebrating the beloved Dutch rabbit’s 70th anniversary. From 14 March to 12 May 2025, families and Miffy enthusiasts can immerse themselves in a world of fun, laughter, and picture-perfect moments across various terminals of the airport.

A Blooming Welcome

As visitors enter Terminal 3’s Departure Hall, they’re greeted by a spectacular sight: a giant Miffy standing proudly next to a colourful hot air balloon, surrounded by a sea of vibrant red and yellow tulips. This grand centrepiece sets the tone for the magical experience that awaits, instantly transporting guests into Miffy’s storybook world.

Not far from this eye-catching display, Miffy’s loyal companion Snuffy makes an appearance with his very own kennel, adding an extra touch of cuteness to the already adorable scene.

Playful Adventures

The highlight of Miffy’s Garden is undoubtedly the Miffy’s Playground, an inflatable wonderland located in Terminal 3’s Departure Hall. This exciting play zone features:

• A thrilling 2-metre long slide
• A colourful ball pit for children to dive into

• Engaging obstacles for little ones to navigate

Access to this bouncy paradise comes at a cost of $15 per child. However, savvy shoppers can snag a discounted pass for just $5 by spending a minimum of $50 at retail shops and eateries or $80 at supermarkets in Changi Airport’s public areas (excluding Jewel Changi).

Picture-Perfect Moments

Throughout the airport, visitors will find an array of Instagram-worthy photo spots featuring Miffy and her friends:
