Fun With Kids: Miffy and friends land at Changi Airport, kids eat free at PizzaExpress

SINGAPORE – Make family time all the more special with these ideas and activities.

Miffy-themed playground at Changi Airport

Miffy, the beloved children’s book character by Dutch artist Dick Bruna, turns 70 on June 21.

In the lead up to her platinum jubilee celebration, the bunny has arrived at Changi Airport Terminal 3 (T3) with her pet dog Snuffy and friends including Melanie, Poppy Pig and Boris Bear.

Check out the cute photo spots, especially the one at T3 Departure Immigration. Miffy awaits you there, standing next to a hot air balloon and surrounded by tulips. Other photo opportunities featuring the bunny and her friends are also available at Basement 2.

Your kids will have a blast bouncing around in a giant inflatable play area at Departure Hall level with their favourite bunny and friends. They can also zoom down a slide and land in a pit full of colourful balls.

Get discounted play passes at $5 each with every $50 spent at participating outlets in the public areas of Terminals 1 to 4 or $80 for supermarket purchases. Separately, play passes can be purchased at $15 a person, or a family set for three children and two adults at $55.

Also, get the Miffy merchandise exclusive to Changi Airport, such as a keychain charm ($4.90), a shoe bag ($12.90) and a mobile phone strap ($9.90).
