{Media Invite} Discover Indonesia & Take the World with You at Changi Airport

Term 2 has already started and a week has already passed.  How have yours been?  Received this term's assignments and spelling?  But hey, we are not too far from the June holidays!  And I think we can still have some fun this weekend, right?

Changi Airport (Congrats on winning the Skytrax Airport of the Year 2017) is always a place we like to go and it is always associated with happiness and fun.  Happiness because not only does it mean taking the aeroplane and travelling overseas, it also means enjoying free air-conditioning (:P) and activities (not always free though) during the times we do not travel.  :)

From now till 2 April 2017, we can find the first nanoblock pop-up museum outside of Japan at Changi Aiport Terminal 3.  Located at basement 2, there are 6 experiential zones:

• Take a big step into a small world
• A small world needs a big dream - birth of nanoblock
• A little universe, here on earth
• Tiny instruments to draw a full house
• The miniature wilderness
• The place where nano made it big

There is a nanoblock popup store within the museum too!

We always make use of our spendings in the airport for the "purchase-with-purchase" promotions.  Until 1 May 2017, spend a minimum of S$60 (S$80 at supermarkets) in the airport's public areas to bring home a nanoblock design for S$6.90 (usual price S$25).  There are a total of 6 designs!  Terms and conditions apply.  Please click here to know more!

Also from now till 2 April 2017, Discover Indonesia is the current exhibition at T3 Departure Check-in Hall (Level 2 public area).

Come explore the wonders of Indonesia through the exhibits and during weekends, there will be coffee sampling and cultural performances.  Details can be found here.

Some of the cities that I know of in Indonesia are only Jakarta, Bali, Medan, Bandung.  And I am surprised to find that there are quite a few family friendly destinations in Indonesia.  Time to look more into it!

The boys had fun with the digital batik though I wish it could be more responsive.  But what they love most from the Discover Indonesia event is the Indo Junior Warrior Training.  They have been asking me to bring there again!  Seriously, I think they should have it for adults too as they really look fun.

Depending on their age group, children from 4 years old to 10 years old can conquer a ninja warrior-inspired obstacle course.  Simply present a maximum of two same-day receipts with a minimum of S$60 (S$80 at supermarkets) from any Changi Airport retail of F&B outlet to redeem one activity pass.  Redemption starts from 12 noon and ends at 10.30pm or when activity passes are fully redeemed; whichever is earlier.  Other terms and conditions apply and are listed here.

Important!  Please wear shoes with socks and comfortable attire  No slippers, sandals, heelys.  Parents are not allowed in the training course.

The obstacles the children went through are different depending on their age group (4-6 years old, 7 & 8 years old, 9 & 10 years old).  Guess what?!  There is a chance to win a holiday for a family of four to Indonesia from Singapore!  Five contestants with the fastest timing from each category will compete in the finale on 2 April 2017 whereby one contestant from each category who completes the course with the fastest timing will be crowned the Indo Junior Warrior and will walk away with the prize.

But no pressure yea, it's all about the fun the children have. 

Some extra notes:

• Maximum play time is ten minutes and is limited to fifteen children per session for the non-competitive play slots.
• Activity pass holders for the non-competitive slots are to proceed to play area at least ten minutes before their allocated training session time.
• Participants registered for the challenge session (competitive) are to proceed to play area at least thirty minutes before the start of the challenge session.

Good luck and may the best kid wins!
