Everyone’s hyped at Jewel’s new park despite the hefty entrance fees.
Just so you know, the mall isn’t just about A&W and Shake Shack: on the fifth floor of the mall is an indoor park that’ll make every adult kid again.
Comprising a number of slides, bridge and even a net, it’s known to be a “14,000 square-metre world-class attraction, featuring unique offerings such as play attractions, gardens, walking trails and dining outlets in air-conditioned comfort.”
However, you need to pay to enter the park.
It opened its door to the public on 10 June 2019 and entrance fee to the park is at $4.50 for Singapore residents.
That entrance fee doesn’t pay for everything, though: there are some attractions that also require additional fees, like the Canopy Bridge, which is a suspended bridge with fog to experience how it feels like to be walking on clouds, or the Manulife Sky Nets, in which you get to jump on a giant net.
Pretty cool until someone spoke about her experience.

Entrance fee to this bouncing giant net isn’t cheap: at $19.80 for a Singapore resident (inclusive of the entry fee to the park), it’s the most expensive among all other attractions.
But that’s understandable; you get to jump on a giant net for 50 minutes!
You’re bound to lose a bit of calories there.
But one lady, Facebook user June Neo, didn’t have the best-est experience there.
In fact, she went off the mall with this:
Apparently, the holes are allegedly so “big” that her foot got stuck in the net (#horror1!!!). And she got a very deep cut on her hand (#horror2!!!), which you should only look at if you can tahan blood.
Thankfully, a first aider came to her rescue, but she posted her experience online and as expected, got a whopping 3.4K Shares.
Lest you can’t read:
Parents please take note when you bring your kids to Changi Jewel, Manulife Sky Nets – Walking. The ropes are tough, the holes are big enough for adults foot to go through and stuck in there.
I fell as my foot stuck and my hand had a big cut. I am lucky that I am wearing pants, if not my legs will end up like my hand. So only slight abrasion to my legs and also bruises on my arm. Even sitting down or lying down on the ropes are also painful.
Ensure your kids are wearing pants. Maybe wearing gloves is a good idea.
Thanks to the first aider who attended to me.
How Dangerous is It?
Remember I mention that it’s a 50-min experience in the net?
Well, it’s actually a 60-min session: you’d have to go through a compulsory 10 minutes safety briefing before you’re allowed into the net.
While I haven’t been there, I’ve climbed the iconic net pyramid in West Coast before, and let’s just say that for a place like this, there are bound to be risks, especially when we’re trying to balance ourselves constantly.
Following June’s advice would be useful: anyone who’s been through NS would know why we cover ourselves up so much. Do you also know that the helmet’s primary objective isn’t to protect your head from bullets (your neck would break when a speeding bullet hit your helmet), but for safety in the jungle?
Bet you didn’t know that.
Here’s a simplified summary of the South Korea martial law that even a 5-year-old would understand:
