SINGAPORE: Can you tell us how to get, how to get to Changi Airport? Terminal 3, to be exact – where Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster and friends from Sesame Street are taking up residence, just in time for the holidays.

From Friday (Mar 9), there will be an inflatable playground and pop-up exhibition at the terminal, the first of a string of themed activities lined up to coincide with the March, June and September school holidays. 

JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!

The 30-metre-long inflatable playground at Terminal 3’s Departure Hall features life-sized characters and inflatable obstacles like tunnels, a ladder and a climbing wall.
