From their website //www.changiairport.com/en/airport-guide/facilities-and-services/pay-per-use-lounges.html
I don't have any personal recommendations though.

I believe Singapore airport has recently had a huge indoor garden & waterfall created
This should keep you entertained !

We had a three-hour wait at Changi last year. If you only have three hours I wouldn't bother booking into a lounge. The lounges are really just for sitting about and reading/ watching a screen/ snacking and if you're changing from one long-haul flight to another then what you probably need is some exercise. I seem to remember that there are shower facilities in at least one of the loo complexes there if that's a priority.

There are gardens at the terminals. There's a butterfly garden at one, where you walk around and the butterflies flutter around you, and an orchid garden. There's also an outdoor swimming pool available on the roof of one of the terminals, but whether three hours is enough to find it, swim and get back I don't know.

For a longer lay-over you can catch a city tour (I seem to remember these are free) and there are also hotels inside the airport if you want to put your feet up and sleep. You can book for just a few hours.

Changi is actually one of the few airports where I wouldn't mind spending some extra time.

Hi, I was in the same position with my two in April. We went to the butterfly house, and right next door on the top floor was a large bathroom type place where you could pay to have a shower. I showered, washed hair, there were blow driers and towels there, the lot. Just wanted to flag in case that appeals.

I agree for 3 hours there is probably no point- by the time you get off the plane etc it will be 2.5 hours and then you will be re-boarding if it is long haul around 45 minutes before take off.
If it is not really late at night there is a pool which might be an option- combine exercise, a cocktail and a shower all in one for maybe $16/adult?

Agreed. Change has plenty to entertain you for 3 hours. Last time we also did the shower thing and then went to the butterfly house and chilled by one of the koi carp ponds with a coffee. Plus some of that time will be taken up. Getting off one plane and finding the next gate.

Don’t pay for a lounge! Go to the airport Jewel it will keep you occupied for hours! Easy to get to from any terminal

Agree with PPs, as a frequent visitor to Singapore, I’d say 3 hours is barely enough time to get round food, amazing shopping and the gardens, no need for the lounge Grin,

Absolutely agree. There is so much to do and see at Changi Airport 3 hours is no time at all. A lounge would be a total waste of money.
