Planning a family getaway in Southeast Asia? Look no further than Legoland Malaysia, located in Johor Bahru. Just across the border from Singapore, this destination is perfect for families with kids of all ages. With three unique parks—the Legoland Theme Park, Legoland Water Park, and SEA Life Aquarium—there's something here for everyone.
Here's your quick guide to making the most of your trip.
🎢 1. Explore the Legoland Theme Park
The Legoland Theme Park is the main attraction and can easily take up a full day. With more than 40 rides and attractions spread across themed zones like Lego Kingdoms, Lego City, and Miniland (featuring Asian landmarks built from over 30 million Lego bricks), it's a dream come true for kids and parents alike. Don't miss the Driving School where kids can "drive" their own little cars, or the Dragon roller coaster for thrill-seekers.
💦 2. Splash Around at Legoland Water Park
Perfect for cooling down in Malaysia's tropical weather, the Legoland Water Park is packed with water slides, a wave pool, and a lazy river. Kids can even build their own Lego rafts and float along! It's best to pack swimwear, sunscreen, and towels so the little ones are ready for a splash-filled adventure.
🐠 3. Dive into SEA Life Aquarium
The SEA Life Aquarium brings marine life closer to your family with interactive zones and tanks filled with fascinating sea creatures. It's smaller compared to the other two parks, but offers a more relaxed pace. Kids will love the themed exhibits, especially the underwater tunnel where sharks and rays swim right above you.
🍔 4. Family-Friendly Dining Options
Legoland Malaysia is designed with families in mind, and you'll find plenty of dining options across the parks. From pizza and burgers to Asian rice dishes, there's something for even the pickiest eaters. On busy days, there are also food trucks and carts.
Note: Outside food isn't allowed, so plan your meals inside the park.
🛏️ 5. Stay at the Legoland Hotel
If you want the full experience, staying at the Legoland Hotel is a treat for kids. Each room is themed—choose from Pirate, Adventure, Kingdom, or Lego Friends. The lobby itself is a giant play zone filled with Lego bricks, ensuring kids are entertained from the moment they check in. Staying on-site also means early access and shorter travel times.
Note: Staying at the hotel still requires buying a ticket to the theme park.
