Singapore is known for being a green city, with our famous Gardens By The Bay and the exhibitions Flower Dome has to offer. However, if you’re looking for another picturesque flower spot, check out A Sunflower Sojourn, Changi Airport’s latest flower installation.
The vibrant sunflowers will be showcased now until 30th September 2024, with displays across all 4 terminals.
Terminal 3.
With over 5,000 sunflowers and more than 10 species, A Sunflower Sojourn is the world’s largest sunflower display in an airport. You will find varieties such as Florenzas, Strawberry Blondes, and, of course, the classic Sunrise sunflower.

You won’t miss the towering sunflower structure at Terminal 3 that stands at 8m tall. It’s surrounded by 1,000 real sunflower stalks, so you can take a nice walk through this simulated garden or make it your next IG-worthy backdrop.
Another installation that will bring out the “Wow!” from you would be the 5m tall topiary structure, located in the Departure Hall of Terminal 2. The bright yellow structure rotates and definitely stands out amidst the crowd, with cute bee sculptures “buzzing” around it.
For the art lovers out there, a replica of Vincent Van Gogh’s sunflower painting is also displayed in the Departure Hall of Terminal 2, so you can have a close-up look at the piece without making a trip to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.

As you explore the sunflower fields, you will also spot educational booths blending in with the vibrant scenery. These booths contain information about the significance of sunflower seeds for food, agriculture and the production of sunflower oil. Some of them even have real product samples, so you can learn what manufacturing processes were done to create them.
If you want to take in all that this exhibit has to offer, the sunflowers are spread out across these 20 locations in the airport:
