If you’re looking for a new walking trail to explore in Singapore, why not check out the new Changi Airport Connector? Opened recently on October 11, the 3.5km path links Terminal 2 at Changi Airport to East Coast Park and has both a walking path and a cycling path.
The path is also home to Jurassic Mile, the largest permanent outdoor display of dinosaurs in Singapore. Located along the 1km stretch between the Terminal 4 pit stop and the East Coast Park entrance, there are over 20 different dinosaurs on display across 9 different species.

From life-size T-rex to giant dinosaur eggs, Changi Jurassic Mile is perfect for a family day out, or if you’re simply looking for a new walking or cycling path in Singapore.
Information panels have been put up to allow visitors to learn more about the prehistoric creatures, with safari-themed music being played to add to the atmosphere. Changi Airport Connector will also provide easy access to Jewel as well as the terminals.
Entry to Jurassic Mile is free, but for those who wish to visit between Friday-Sunday, you will need to book a slot online if you’re entering between 9AM and midnight. Visitors are allowed to stay for up to 1 hour in the exhibit, and admission will be every 30 minutes.
Other amenities available

Located next to Terminal 2 is Hub & Spoke, a new pit stop where visitors can rent bicycles, make use of shower facilities or sit down for a meal.
Those who wish to cycle from the airport to the park may rent bicycles from GoCycling, and return them at any outlets found around the island. This means that you can actually cycle to Jurong from Changi Airport if you’re up for the challenge!
There are also bicycle lockers available for rental, and other amenities include pay-per-use shower facilities as well as a washing point and drinking fountain. After exploring Jurassic Mile, visitors can stop at the Hub & Spoke Cafe for a quick meal.
How to get there
Changi Airport Connector, Hub & Spoke, and Jurassic Mile are accessible by public transport or via the Changi Coastal Park Connector Extension. Visitors may follow the on-ground signage from Changi Airport MRT, heading towards Terminal 2. If you are driving, you may park at the Hub & Spoke Car Park.
