How much it costs to visit Jewel (activities, food, coffee, and more)
I wrote this guide to help visitors to Singapore figure out how much they should budget for their visit to Jewel. If you are stopping over in transit, or staying a few days in Singapore, this guide will help you figure out your budget for visiting Jewel.
It is possible to enjoy Jewel without spending a single cent. The highlight of Jewel - the world’s tallest indoor waterfall - is completely free to visit, no ticket is required. It’s also free to walk around the mall and do window shopping. Paid attractions, as well as food and coffee are available starting at S$2.50.
1. Waterfall: FREE
There is no ticket required to visit the waterfall at Jewel. It is free for everyone to get up close to the waterfall, to take a selfie with it, and to sit down and relax along the benches and seating areas in the green space surrounding the waterfall.
Professional photographers are occasionally available if you would like someone to take a picture and print it out on the spot for you. These come with a fee as dictated by the photographer / company they work for.
2. Activities: S$13.90 - S$71.00
Indoor adventure activities at Jewel include a hedge maze, bouncing mat, slides, and a canopy park to explore. I often recommend it to families who are in transit through Changi and looking for something fun to do with the kids.
The activities at Jewel include:
| Attraction | Description |
|---|---|
| Canopy Park | A playground of water features and curated plant life |
| Bouncing net | An arrangement of nets that can be bounced on |
| Hedge maze | Indoor hedge maze to explore |
| Canopy bridge | The best views of the waterfall and surrounding greenery |
| Walking net | Like the bouncing net but more walking and less jumping |
| Mirror maze | A maze of mirrors you can easily get lost in |
| Foggy bowls | A place to sit amongst the mysterious fog flowing from the ground |
| Changi experience studio | Experience a virtual recreation of Changi Airport, including simulators |
The cheapest activity I recommend is the Canopy Bridge and its fantastic views of the Jewel waterfall. Its entry ticket is bundled with the Canopy Park costing S$13.90 for adults and S$11.90 for children.
Tickets should always be bought as bundles, depending on which activities you want to try. The bundle prices are below:
| Bundle | Price |
|---|---|
| Canopy bridge + canopy park | S$13.90 for adults and S$11.90 for children |
| Bundle 1: Canopy park, canopy bridge, hedge maze, mirror maze, walking net | S$39 for adults and S$29 for children |
| Bundle 2: Everything in Bundle 1 + Walking net + Bouncing net | S$54 for adults and S$39 for children |
| Bundle 3: Everything in Bundle 1 + Walking net + Changi experience studio | S$56 for adults and S$40 for children |
| Bundle 4: Everything in Bundle 1 + Walkin net + Bouncing net + Changi experience studio | S$71 for adults and S$50 for children |
Canopy park includes access to slides, the foggy bowls, a petal garden, and the topiary walk.
Preferred payment is by credit card at the ticketing counters, ticketing machines, or online here.
3. Food: S$3 - S$50
Within Jewel you can find street food snacks, hawker stalls, and homegrown restaurants. All of which sell local homegrown dishes that are a core part of Singapore’s culture.
I believe the extensive range of Singaporean food is what makes Jewel the perfect destination for traveller who do not have much time in Singapore. Jewel’s food selection is what makes it the microcosm of Singapore life, and a fantastic way for visitors who might only have a few hours, to engage with some of the culture of Singapore.
I’ve outlined some of the food you can buy and what it costs in the table below:
| Food | Location | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Chicken wing skewer | Street food | S$3.20 |
| Chicken rice | Food court | S$6.20 |
| Bee Hoon | Restaurant | S$15 |
| Chili crab | Restaurant | S$40 |
At the Food Republic food court expect to spend around S$10 per person, including a meal and a drink. Please remember to clear your tray after you finish eating.
At a restaurant, such as Putien or Jumbo Seafood, expect to spend S$30 to S$80 per person, depending on how much seafood you order. I recommend visiting as a family or larger group as it will give you the chance to try more dishes. Some of the Singaporean restaurants I recommend visiting at Jewel include:
- Putien
- Hainan Story
- Paradise Classic
- Jumbo Seafood
Toast Box and Fun Toast are also a couple of eateries I recommend checking out, particularly at breakfast time. Try the traditional kaya toast breakfast set, which includes eggs and kopi. Toast Box also serves a decent laksa.
I’ve focussed on Singaporean food in this section as that’s what I usually recommend to visitors. The selection of food at Jewel is vast, and also includes options such as hamburgers, pizza, sushi, and a wide variety of food from China.

4. Coffee: S$3.00 - S$8.50
I’ve found Singapore’s coffee scene to have exploded over the last 10 years. There are many good options for coffee now, whether it’s prepared in a European espresso style, in a local ‘kopi’ style, or served black for Americans.
Coffee at Jewel is slightly more expensive than downtown locations. Local ‘kopi’ is the cheapest, usually starting from around S$3 at Jewel. Starbucks is the most expensive, charging over S$8 for most of its coffees.
My recommendations for coffee, and how much it costs are in the table below:
| Coffee shop | Expected price |
|---|---|
| Original Vadai (street food stall) | S$3.00 |
| Fun Toast | S$3.20 |
| Arabica | S$7.40 |
| Starbucks | S$8.50 |
Arabica sells western-style espresso coffee, including macchiato, latte, and cappuccino. I grew up drinking Melbourne coffee and I always find Arabica to have a consistently good flavour. The shop unfortunately only has limited seating and it’s a bit expensive at S$7.40 for a cappuccino (see my guide here, you can get cappuccino in the city for less than S$5.50).
For local ‘kopi’, there are two places I usually recommend to visitors: Toast Box on floor B2, or Fun Toast on floor 4. They sell local kopi, tea, and breakfast sets consisting of kaya toast and eggs. Expect to spend S$2.50 - S$4.00 on kopi, and up to S$12 if you’re getting a set meal (which includes kopi). The Food Republic also has a kopi stall that’s slightly cheaper, but I usually recommend one of the brand names for visitors to try first for a better and more consistent quality.
Starbucks also has a massive outlet at Jewel. It spans over two stories and has plenty of seating areas and power outlets to charge your phone (wall plug required, no USB provided).
Surprisingly most coffee shops do not open early in the morning. Arabica doesn’t open until 10am, while Toast Box and Yakun open just before 8am. Starbucks is 24 hours thankfully, though seeing the reviews it appears they have limited seating options between 10pm and 8am.
5. Water: FREE (with purchase)
I’ve never been able to find a free water re-fill station at Jewel.
Most restaurants will include complimentary water with purchase, as will Arabica coffee (the tastiest coffee I’ve found at Jewel) and Starbucks.
Disposable water bottles can also be purchased from the supermarket at the B2 level. This typically costs S$2 - S$5 depending on how fancy you would like your water to be.
6. Lounge access: S$33.57
The Changi Lounge is available for anyone visiting Jewel for up to 3 hours at a time. Access to the Changi Lounge includes:
- Light snacks
- Power sockets for phone and laptop charging
- WiFi
- Shower
- Nap pods
Prices start from S$33.57 for basic access and go up to S$59.95 for access including a hot meal, a beer, and a shower.
The package options are outlined in the table below:
| Inclusions | Price |
|---|---|
|
S$33.57 for adults and S$23.98 for children |
|
S$46.76 for adults and S$32.37 for children |
|
S$59.95 for adults and S$ 46.76 for children |
|
S$23.98 |
Prices above include all service charges and taxes, and are updated as of my last visit in summer 2024.
Access programmes such as Priority Pass can be used at the Changi Lounge, though a valid boarding pass for that day is required (noting that boarding pass is not required if you are buying the entry at the regular rate).
The Changi Lounge is open from 6am to 10pm daily. The kitchen and bar close at 9pm, and the last shower slot is 9:25pm.
7. Luggage storage: S$11
Luggage storage is available at Jewel for loose, small, or large items. Prices start at S$6 for loose items, but most visitors I send here store a bag where pricing starts at S$11.
Costs to store luggage are outlined in the table below:
| Luggage | Cost |
|---|---|
| Loose items | S$6 |
| Small items (below 10kg) | S$11 |
| Big or odd items (above 10kg) | S$16 |
| Extra large items | S$19 |
These prices cover up to 24 hours of storage (it is charged per 24 hours with 24 hours being the minimum - you can of course remove your luggage at any time).
Luggage storage is located on L1, near the early check in facilities.
8. Window shopping: FREE
I wanted to include more free activities on this list and window shopping your way through the various retail outlets is another activity you can do at Jewel for free.
Some of the shops you can explore at Jewel include:
- Apple
- Calvin Klein
- Charles & Keith
- Chow Tai Fook
- Coach
- Fred Perry
- Polo Ralph Lauren
- Tag Heuer
- Zara
Prices are what you would expect from international fashion brands located in Singapore. But at least window shopping is free.
9. Souvenirs: S$10 - S$50
Authentic Singapore souvenirs sold at Jewel are typically food items. These can include traditional snacks such as bak kwa, or more modern ones such as salted egg yolk fish skins.
Some examples include:
| Souvenir | Price |
|---|---|
| Bak kwa (Bee Cheng Hiang) | S$20 |
| Pandan Cake (Bengawan Solo) | from S$7.60 (slices) |
| Tau sar piah (Thye Moh Chan) | from S$2.50 per piece |
| Salted egg yolk fish skin (Irvins) | from S$10 per packet |
If your country allows these to be brought in (I’m Australian and usually if I say this to the shop staff, they’ll help me figure out what is ok and what isn’t), I find these make great souvenirs for people back home.
