Legoland Malaysia

This past June we surprised the boys with a trip to Legoland in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.  We told the boys were going two days before we left and they were so excited!  I was glad we decided to tell them right before we left and not months before when we booked the trip, because I would have been asked every few hours when we were leaving. We decided to stay at our first (and last. More on that in the next post!) hostel right outside of Legoland.  The hotel at Legoland looks amazing, but it was a bit out of our price range.  We have had friends that have stayed there though, and they said it was awesome.  Maybe if we ever go back.

We decided on the two day combo pass, which is actually a great deal at MYR225 for adults ($70) and MYR185 for kids ($57).  I bought my tickets online and it worked great. As soon as we got to the park, we planned out our day.  We spent the morning at the park riding rides, checking out the amazing Mini land, and my oldest even took two different Lego robotics classes! Sign up for the classes early because they do fill up fast.  We are used to feeling like we are living on the sun in Bangkok, but Johor Bahru was a whole new level of HOT! So we were very thankful that Legoland Malaysia has an awesome water park attached to it.

You get to visit the water park with your two day pass, so after lunch we headed to the water park to cool off. The park has a great wave pool, lazy river with floating Legos, big slides for the older kids, a water playground for younger kids and a great toddler section.  We could have spent both of our days just at the water park.  The boys loved it so much.

Then, in the late afternoon, we dried off and headed back to the main park for more roller coasters and rides. There is also a great section where the kids can build and race their own Lego cars.  We spent at least an hour in that building.  This is what we did both days and we were able to see everything and ride everything that we wanted to.  The park has quite a few places to eat and snack bars around both parks.  The first morning ate breakfast at the cafe, but the second morning we ate at the pancake house that was in the Mall of Medini , right outside of Legoland.  The shopping center also has places to eat and convenience stores if you don't want to eat at the park.  For lunch/dinner we ate at Burger Junction and The Market Restaurant.

Our two days at the park were so much fun and we made so many great memories.  The park was very organized and very clean.  Three months after our trip, the boys are still talking about it and hoping that we will get to go back again in the future.
