Come June 10, Jewel Changi Airport will officially open their 14,000 sqm playground located at the highest floor.

Home to seven playscapes and creative gardens, the Canopy Park is a first-of-its kind attraction for both the young and the young at heart.

Before you make plans to head down though, be prepared to shell out up to ＄54 if you're an adult and $39 for children or senior citizens if you want the full Canopy experience.
Located at the top level of Jewel, the 14,000 sqm space will have seven play attractions and gardens.

HIGHLIGHTS OF CANOPY PARK
Arguably the star attraction of Jewel, the Manulife Sky Nets consists of two types - Walking and Bouncing.

Walking is a 50-metre taut web hanging 25-metres above the ground and seems to provide more of a thrill factor from the height compared to its counterpart.
This net was stiffer to walk on compared to the bouncy nets.

Bouncing is a 250-metre long bouncy net with an 8-metre high lookout at the highest point, where visitors can experience "weightlessness" as they leap about.

The nets also have a capacity limit of 400 people each, which makes the ticketing system more understandable, considering that it's to prevent overcrowding.
Visitors will have to leave all loose items in the free lockers provided.

Nobody wants a stray elbow hitting them in the eye, am I right?

Also, friendly reminder to wear pants and covered shoes if you're prepared to take on the sky nets! Don't want any loose slippers getting caught or potential flashing of undergarments to happen.

Prefer a ground that remains still while you walk?

Then check out the 50-metre long Canopy Bridge which has a glass panel flooring -- you can see all the way to level one of Jewel through it.
Here’s what it’s like to stand on the 50-metre long Canopy bridge which suspends 23m above ground.

The bridge holds a maximum of 70 people who are allowed to enter in batches at half-hour intervals.

Possess a fear of heights? You might want to visit the Hedge Maze if you're a fan of flowers, or the Mirror Maze if you want more of an adventure.

Take care not to walk right smack into a glass surface though! "Before you enter the Mirror Maze, a way-finding stick will be provided so you won’t accidentally walk into a mirror! Remember to tap before you walk!" #playatJewel pic.twitter.com/3ktCt94UGQ, 30 May 2019 at 1:48 PM

The basic entry fee will guarantee visitors a go at the Discovery Slides -- a 6.5m playscape with four slides in one structure that provides (in my opinion), one of the best views of the Rain Vortex.
One of the best views of the Rain Vortex. The view was breathtaking.

Thinking of bringing your mini-me down during the June holidays?

You'll be glad to know that opening hours have been extended from June 10 to July 9 from 9am to 3am for the mazes and sky nets.

After which, regular operating hours from 10am to 10pm will apply for both attractions.

Nailing the look

Hey, doesn't she sound like Jewel?
The singer does 'undercover karaoke' for comedy website

ON A recent Monday night at a Los Angeles karaoke bar, a meek-looking woman in a business suit and glasses was coaxed on stage by her co-workers.



PHOTO: http://multipleverses.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/jewel-staite.jpg


While the boozy crowd readied itself for four minutes of awkward singing, the woman suddenly belted out exquisite, pitch-perfect renditions of the Jewel songs Who Will Save Your Soul and Foolish Games.

Astonished crowd members picked their jaws off the floor and cheered wildly. One person was heard comparing "Karen" to "an American Susan Boyle".

Little did the crowd know, they had been victims of "undercover karaoke".


PHOTO: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ioLRixTvL._SS500_.jpg


"Karen" was really Jewel, and the proceedings had been filmed by funnyordie.com, a comedy video website co-founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. Posted online on Tuesday, the clip was rapidly circulated, with more than 160,000 views that evening.

"I was a bit nervous to do this skit at first because I feared it would amount to little more than showing off some vocals, dressed as someone else," Jewel said. "I was worried it wouldn't be self-effacing enough."



PHOTO: http://www.contactmusic.com/pics/md/valentines_day_red_carpet_6_090210/jewel_2735855.jpg


For the video, created by Funny or Die writer-director Eric Appel, Jewel was given a prosthetic nose, wig and glasses, and butt padding. Only after performing as Karen did Jewel return to the stage of the karaoke joint, the Gas Lite, as herself.

Before the reveal, one audience member says to the camera of "Karen": "They tell me she only sings at Christmas parties."



PHOTO: http://www.bergproperties.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/jewel2.jpg


Though Jewel is principally a singer-songwriter, she has acted before, most notably in the 1999 Ang Lee film, Ride With The Devil. This performance was a bit quicker (Funny or Die contacted her just a few days before taping on June 28) and more comical.


PHOTO: http://images.dailyfill.com/3157318382d14ed9_b414da638031939d/o/jewel-bikini-miami.jpg


"This did not require much, as the costume did most of the work for me," said Jewel. "I love improv and this was a small chance to do that. I would love to do more of it in the future. A dream gig would be a show like Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Jewel also shot another video for Funny or Die that she says involves former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. A spokeswoman for the site said it will be released next week.
