Legoland Malaysia 5th Anniversary

Sponsored Review

If you are looking for a nearby theme park out of Singapore, then Legoland Malaysia has to be your choice. Legoland Malaysia celebrates its 5th brick-versary this September. With this special celebration, we were blessed to have 2 sets of combo tickets (entry to both Legoland & Water themepark).

From the JB checkpoint, we took a 15mins Grab ride to our destination and the cost was only M$24/car.

Besides bringing the family, we were able to invite 4 close friends to join us. The girls had so much fun as the different gor-gors and jie-jies took turns to entertain them.

Due to the raining forecast that day, we have decided to spend the afternoon sun in the Water theme park first. Changed into out swim/beach wear, we are ready to conquer the rides. By that I mean the younger ones. I have the perfect reason (recovering eye) to be excused.

First ride of the day was this huge Red Rush ride. As the timid girls from the start, only Kless and the 4 friends (Calista, Celine, Andrew, Noel) went for it.

  

This ride is perfect the family with a maximum of 6 person at one go. Minimum height is 102cm.

Eventually, the timid ones took the plunge too, and mind you.. we did it twice! (can you see Jayne’s dramatic scared look, so wayang).

As the Kuan family relaxed at the Wave Pool (sadly there wasn’t any waves leh), the 4 other friends tried out all the other rides – Brick Blaster, Slide Racers, Tidal Tube, Twin Chaser, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

  

Surprisingly, the 2 boys (Andrew & Noel) had some fun at the kids’ water playground (Joker Soaker) too. They were splashing kids with the waterguns, running under the huge pail to be to be splashed by the giant 300-gallon bucket. I think they have re-discovered their childhood-ness in that place.

It was soaking fun for all of us!

After we bathed, it was almost 5pm. And we still have 2 more hours to visit Legoland before it closes at 7pm. Though we were all tired from the water fun earlier, thankfully the weather was good and we had a nice walk inside the park and enjoyed the spectacular LEGO displays.

Happy 5th birthday LEGOLAND!

 

One of the section in the park that always wow me is the Miniland.

 

For the special 5th Brick-versary, there is a new addition in the Park. The LEGO Star Wars Miniland. This is a must visit for all the Star Wars fans! I’ve never watched a single Star Wars movie, but I am very impressed by the size of the displays and the detail thoughts given to prepare the new Miniland attraction.

 

 

May the force be with you!

 

Time to leave.. we are tired and hungry, can’t wait to have dinner at KSL Mall!!

As we leave the Park, let me bring to you more new exciting fun release from LEGOland.

Legoland - A Squarish Affair

Second time to Legoland, I have to admit it did not excite me much. Firstly, I am not a theme-park person, I don’t like the rides and I don’t like the crowd. Secondly, I don’t really like Legos, probably because I grew up longing for it but never have the chance to owe it. My ego in play here. Nonetheless, with a sponsored trip coming up with the opportunity to bring my girls and also my mother for a short vacation, I have nothing more to complain about. Except maybe the queue at Malaysia customs can really have some improvements.

This is the first time we had a staycation with a theme.

The famous square blocks greeted us from all angles, it was not possible to miss them at all.

The entire lobby was filled with all sorts of Lego for the kids to play. And it was definitely necessary since the check-in time was only 4pm, at least the children were sufficiently entertained.

I went around the hotel to check out some of the nice Lego structures.

Even the flooring are Lego carpets..

One of the surprises was the lifts, which are coolly designed with disco lights and music. I swear we can stay inside for much longer, just to enjoy the disco feel.

Every level in the hotel is a different theme, and we were given the Adventure theme room. Furnished with a double bed, a double-decker bed and a pull out right underneath. Perfect for a family of 5.

The two beds were separated by a sliding door to provide some privacy for couples. So to make sure the kids are self-entertained, they have their own TV too. The girls were just too excited to be bothered with the parents, and we ain’t complaining.

Nice deco to fit the “adventure” theme, like bugs, scorpions and butterfly.

Treasure map on the floor. Have to admit, even me got slightly excited about the cool decos.

From our hotel room, we had the perfect view of our next day adventure place, the Legoland Water Park! But do take note that the water park is only opened from 10am to 6pm daily. Plan your trip wisely, which means on the day of check-in, you could probably come earlier, play at the water park then do the check-in at 4pm.

Though the place is pretty huge and equipped with several interesting water slides and such, the Kuan Family is never one for such excitement. We are just happy going round the lazy river and spending some family time at the wave pool.

Joey tried to learn swimming on her own. Looks like Daddy got to hire a professional teacher after all.

Jayne was just happy floating and enjoying the sun.

If you are not too particular about food, the selection inside the water park is still ok.

We make a good decision to let the girls play out at the water park, cos the sun was getting stronger and before noon, it was time-out for us all. Walked back to the hotel to cool down a bit, play more Legos and next up the Legoland.

Won’t bored you with too much details, just refer to our earlier trip to Legoland for the various features.

Just a few more photos from the miniland.
