The Wacky Duo took an excursion to LEGOLAND last weekend.
Here is our A to Z guide on LEGOLAND Malaysia
About LEGOLAND Malaysia


LEGOLAND Malaysia is the 1st LEGOLAND in Asia and the sixth LEGOLAND park world wide. It spans over 76 acres with 40 rides , shows and attractions.  The park is divided into seven themed areas and is purposely build for kids from 2 to 12.

Other LEGOLAND are located in United Kingdom, Germany, Florida (USA), California (USA) and the original Legoland at Denmark.

Baby Care Centre

If you are bringing your baby, there is a Baby Care Centre located at 'Imagination' . This is located in the middle of the park. You can find bottle warmers, high chairs, rockers for nursing moms, baby changing facilities and a microwave. In addition, there are diaper-changing tables parkwide in the restrooms. Family restrooms are also available.

Carpark


Carpark @ LEGOLAND Malaysia
There are 3000 carpark lots at Legoland. Be there early to get a good spot. Carparks are not fully paved and cars are parked on unfinished roads. Nevertheless parking is clearly marked on the roads. There are 2 spots to park. One is near the big tent where there is a sheltered path to the entrance (approximately 10 mins walk) and the other is parking next to the Medini mall adjacent to the park. If you park at Mall of Medini, it is only 5 mintues to Legoland entrance via the mall itself.

Hot Hot Hot


Wear a Hat at LEGOLAND Malaysia
LEGOLAND is hot! Think Sahara Desert minus 5 degree.
The park is 80% un-sheltered. Some of the waiting areas like the 4D theatre can be  hot and stuffy ( non air conditioned) as the wait is about 20 minutes in a poorly ventilated space. Bring caps for the kids, lots of water ( there are no water fountain available) and slap on bottles of sunscreen as you would definitely need it!

Imagination



Imagination
Probably the land most suited for families with young preschoolers. The Playtown caters to children age 2 to 5. It's the land The Wacky Duo spend the most time on as we are 2 and 5.

Joust


Joust @ LEGO Kingdom
One of the 2 single non accompanies rides in LEGOLAND , the other one being the Driving School. No parents allowed on the rides. Great for training Independence.

Kids Friendly
The part is build with kids 2 to 12 in mind. Beside rides catering the specific age group, there are kids friendly services like strollers rental ( MYR 20 for single and MYR 30 for double stroller) and Lost Parents (for errant  parents who wander around the park on their own and get lost) at the Guest Service Counter in THE BEGINNING. Lockers can be found before the entrance of LEGOLAND

The more popular rides include Lego Express , Project X , The Dragon and lego Studios 4D. Expect queues for exchanging of annual passes as well. Queues are generally shorter in the morning.

Rest and relax for parents


The Forestmen's Hideout

If you need a break in the midst of the Energiser bunny (otherwise known as your kids) , you may 'deposit' them at various playgrounds in the park .
  • The Shipyard (LEGO City ) for 4 to 12
  • Pharaoh's revenge ( Land of Adventure ) for pre schoolers

  • The Forestmen's Hideout for bigger kids
LEGO Academy

There are indoor aircondtioned play areas as well at Build and Test (Imagination), LEGO Academy (LEGO Technic) and Lego Mindstorms ( LEGO Technic). These play areas are mostly for kids who wants to build with LEGO and a great place to escape the hot hot hot Sun.

Shopping in LEGOLAND


The Big Shop

Everyone loves shopping. In LEGOLAND Malaysia, you probably have the largest collection of LEGO and LEGO related items in Asia. Shop at The Big Shop, Mini Market,The Brick Shop, King's market and Adventurer's Depot that are located within LEGOLAND . If you yearn for more shopping, Malls of Medini is located adjacent to LEGOLAND and is within 50 m from the park entrance.

Teens in LEGOLAND

Technic for Teens

If you are bringing Teens to LEGOLAND, do not fret if you think there are no rides avaliable for them. Head down to LEGO TECHNIC land and straight for Project X and Wave Racers. Otherwise, The Dragon (LEGO Kingdom), Dinoland ( Land of Adventure) and LEGO Studios 4D ( Imagination) are attractions they could enjoy.

Umbrella
Be warn , it can be super hot in LEGOLAND Malaysia. If you are afraid of the Sun, The umbrella is a necessary weapon against the blazing heat.

Victory
What most kids would feel after conquering a ride in LEGOLAND, especially if they did the ride by themselves.

Wet wet wet

LEGO fountain

Although the wet park is not open, there are pockets of wet attractions like Dinoland (Land of Adventure), Lego Studio 4D (Imagination), Wave Racers (LEGO Technic) and Boating School (LEGO City). There is also a small  fountain / play area for kids at LEGO Technic.

X Project X


Project X

Probably the scariest roller ride in LEGOLAND . 'Racy, Crazy and 18 Meter high' as inscribed on LEGOLAND Malaysia website.

Yellow Sun


LEGOLAND

Spot the Yellow Sun up the hills and you could see LEGOLAND sign Ala Hollywood

Zzzz
Definitely the after theme park  activity on the car ride back to Singapore. No wonders here, especially since they have most of the fun at the park!
