Singapore Changi Airport with children
The MRT station is inside Terminals 2 and 3, so a family does not have to cross a road to reach the train, and the bus and the taxi stops are close to the terminal doors. If you need Terminal 4, the shuttle bus leaves from the arrival door of Terminal 2, so keep a snack and water within reach for the wait.
