Airports can be tedious, we all know that. And most try and distract us from the boredom with restaurants, shops and bars.<\/p>\n

However, these airports go the extra mile with cool things to do.<\/p>\n

Here are 7 airports that are so fun, you’ll be hoping your flight’s delayed.<\/p>\n

1) Go for a Swim in Singapore<\/h3>\n

Singapore’s Changi Airport \u2014 which was voted World’s Best Airport<\/a> for the sixth year in a row this year \u2014 isn’t content with offering an indoor swimming pool.<\/p>\n

If you have a few hours to kill while waiting for your flight, you can relax and unwind in the rooftop pool and hot tub<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’re staying in the Ambassador Transit Hotel you can get in for free, but otherwise it’s 17SGD per person (about \u00a310).<\/p>\n

2) Golf and Skate in Seoul<\/h3>\n

If you’re less into relaxing and more into recreation, you should try flying from Seoul’s Incheon Airport.<\/p>\n

The Sky 72 Golf Club<\/a> is a free five-minute shuttle bus from the airport and allows you to play either nine or 18 holes, as well as practice your swing at the driving range.<\/p>\n

However, if you don’t want to leave the airport because you’re short of time, you can also go for a skate on the ice rink<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Open all year round, you can enjoy a skate between 10am and 8pm every day, enabling you to practice your triple axel all day long.<\/p>\n

3) Dance to Some Tunes in Texas<\/h3>\n

Austin, Texas has long been known for its music \u2014 country music especially \u2014 but you’ll find bands of all genres at Austin\u2013Bergstrom International Airport.<\/p>\n

Weekday travellers can enjoy gigs at 1pm and 3.30pm at either Annie’s Cafe & Bar by Gate 18, or Waterloo Records at Gate 15.<\/p>\n

A gig in an airport is an experience very few will have, so make sure you stop by Annie’s for a dance before you fly.<\/p>\n

4) See Marine Life in Vancouver<\/h3>\n

Vancouver International Airport is home to not one, but two Vancouver Aquarium Marine Exhibits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not only can you visit the 1,800-litre jellyfish aquarium, which is impressive enough, but you can also marvel at the enormous 114,000-litre main aquarium!<\/p>\n

All-in-all there are more than 5,000 animals on show, including wolf eels, kelp greenlings and striped perch.<\/p>\n

You can even visit the gift shop to help support the continued operation of the aquariums.<\/p>\n

5) Appreciate the Art in Amsterdam<\/h3>\n

The Rijksmuseum at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport<\/a> exhibits original classic paintings from historic Dutch artists such as Ferdinand Bol and Jan Steen.<\/p>\n

Entry is free and you’ll get to see an everchanging collection of art, giving you a unique perspective before you depart.<\/p>\n

The Rijksmuseum is in the Schiphol terminal and is open from 7am to 8pm every day.<\/p>\n
