Candy Wonderland

In front of Changi Airport Terminal 3 Departure Gates stands the Candy Wonderland, a delightful sight reminiscent of Hansel and Gretel's fairytale world. The enchanting Candy Wonderland showcases a colossal five-meter-tall teddy bear and a captivating two-storey-high Ferris wheel that stands seven meters tall and rotates gracefully.

Dressed up for the winter season, the teddy bear sports a cozy jumper and a scarf that exudes warmth. Completing its sweet ensemble, the bear holds a cupcake adorned with icing in its right hand.

If you're not embarking on a Singaporean getaway for the year-end holidays, fret not. The Candy Wonderland provides a picturesque backdrop for snapping cherished holiday memories. Its delectable appearance is sure to entice you to capture memorable photographs.
