There's A Slide In Changi Airport That Brings You To Your Boarding Gate
Airport? More like playground. :P
Besides the epic waterfall at Changi Airport in Singapore, do you know about the tubular slide that brings you straight to your boarding gate?
The slide, located at Terminal 4, snakes its way downwards into an open gate area with a giant red-coloured play structure called the "Chandelier" in the middle.
The slide runs parallel to traditional stairs and escalators, providing an additional layer of fun for both the young and the young at heart.
It's open to everyone with a height requirement of at least 1.1 metres (3.6 feet) up to 2 metres (6.6 feet).
The ride is free, all you need to do is scan your boarding pass to gain entry.

This bigger slide, situated in Terminal 3 of the airport, is renowned as "the world's tallest slide in an airport", according to Changi Airport's website.
Standing at an impressive 12 metres (four storeys) high, this gravity-defying ride takes you from Level 1 all the way to Basement 3.
