Changi Airport has transformed into a dreamy Hello Kitty wonderland to celebrate its 50th anniversary this holiday season!
From now to 16 February 2025, travellers and fans can immerse themselves in a festive celebration filled with adorable Sanrio characters.
This celebration marks the 5th edition of Changi Festive Village and features a variety of exciting activities and attractions, as follows:
– Hello Kitty Festive Wonderland (T3, L2, Departure Hall): Be amazed by a 8-metre-tall Hello Kitty topiary surrounded by her friends. Then, take a thrilling ride down the 7-metre-long rainbow slide.
– Fans can meet and greet their favourite Sanrio characters during special weekend sessions. To reserve a spot, spend S$50 (S$80 at supermarkets and Jewel) in a single same-day receipt at participating outlets and book your pass through the Changi App.
– Sanrio Festive Display (Across T1 to 4): Your favourite Sanrio characters including Hello Kitty, Kuromi and more, will be hidden around fifteen locations throughout the airport, whether in the public or transit areas. From Hello Kitty in a rickshaw to a playful Pompompurin, they will appear in the form of topiaries and figurines all ready to take insta-worthy photos with you!
– Carnival with Hello Kitty and Friends (T3, L1, Arrival Hall): Explore nine themed zones featuring your favourite Sanrio characters, including Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, Kuromi, Pompompurin, Pochacco, Hangyodon, and more. Sanrio-themed game booths will be peppered around these zones to test your skills. In exchange, you can win tickets that can be redeemed for limited-edition prizes, such as plush toys, bags, and keyboards.
One of the key highlights is the ‘50th Celebration Grand Express’, featuring Sanrio characters on a tiered birthday cake, where riders are entitled to a limited-edition collectable pin. Additionally, there will be workshops lined-up for you to make your own Sanrio keepsakes, such as hot-stamped crystal bottles and personalized crystal domes.
For even more fun, earn five carnival tokens by spending S$50 (S$80 at supermarkets and Jewel) in a single receipt. Paying with Mastercard or Changi Pay doubles your tokens! Tokens can also be purchased on the Changi App, and each purchase earns you Changi Rewards points.
