Take Flight

If your kid dreams of flying a plane, he’ll love a visit to the Qatar Airways-branded airport “terminal” at Kidzania Singapore, which has a real Boeing 737 for role-play.

After he “checks in” and receives his boarding pass, he’ll head into the Aviation Academy, where he can try the state-of-the-art flight simulators (pictured) that allow him to “take off” and “land” a Boeing 787 Dreamliner and an A380 superjumbo aircraft at Hamad International Airport in Doha, and Singapore Changi Airport. Visit Kidzania website.
