Legoland Malaysia is right across the border from Singapore in the town of Johor Bahru. Legoland is one of our kids’ favorite activities to do in Malaysia! Theme parks can definitely give a glimpse into the culture of a place, and we find this to be very true at Legoland Malaysia.
Our ultimate guide takes you through not only the basics of planning a visit to Legoland Malaysia with kids, but helps with the eating, sleeping, and sightseeing outside of your time at Legoland.
Legoland Malaysia Parks
Legoland in Malaysia is broken up into three different parks. The three different parks are the Legoland Theme Park, Legoland Waterpark, and SeaLife. Each operates separately from each other, but all are Lego themed and amazing. We will go into more detail about each park separately.
When Legoland was built 13 years ago, the area had very little commercial interest. Even when we first visited back in 2016, there were no stores or restaurants nearby. That has all changed in the last 5 years as the city continues to be built up around it, and Legoland attracts people from all of Southeast Asia.
What Age is Best to Visit Legoland Malaysia?
Legoland Malaysia created attractions for a variety of ages, making it easy to bring a family with a large range of ages. That said, both the water park and the theme park have specific zones that cater to toddlers and preschoolers. They also give free entry to any child under the age of 3 (but do insist on seeing a birth certificate or passport for free entry). You can also rent a stroller or double stroller for the day at the entrance to the theme park to help cut down on the amount of walking that a young child needs to do to get around. Read more about prices in the Stroller section of this post.
For teenagers, they have several slides and roller coasters. The Great Lego Race roller coaster is a VR roller coaster, which is a great ride. The Dragon, the largest roller coaster, is also a fun ride for older kids. At the water park, there are several body slides where you are mostly in the dark as you go down and can be scary for smaller kids. But it is something our older children love! Lastly, there are racing slides which are great fun to compete on.
If you have come with the grandparents to Legoland, there are lots of benches for them to sit on, as well as a train that takes you through the park, so that they can see many attractions without all the walking. There are also various airconditioned rooms, where kids can build Legos and grandparents can enjoy sitting in a cool place. If needed, you can also rent a wheelchair at the front of the theme park.
How Many Days Should We Spend at Legoland Malaysia?
How many days you should plan to spend at Legoland is based completely on how much you and your family love legos and fun rides. If you want to be able to ride all the rides in the theme park then you really should plan to be at Legoland for 2 days. You might be able to get on most of the rides in one day if you really pushed hard, but you would not be able to take part in shows or spend much time looking around and building legos.
Our recommended time would be two days to explore Legoland. If you want to also enjoy the waterpark and SeaLife then we recommend adding a third day to your time at Legoland. Of course the more time you can give to Legoland the more times you can ride the rides and spend ample time building and looking at the lego creations also.
Ticket Types – Day Pass vs. Year Pass
Ticket prices are first of all dependent on your nationality and residency. If you are Malaysian, or can prove you live in Malaysia, you pay one price. If you are Singaporean, you pay the second-tier price. If you are other nationalities, you pay the highest rate.
Next you choose if you want a day pass or year pass. There are different options for passes. The key thing to note is that if you spend more than one day at Legoland, a year pass is cheaper to buy than two single day passes. So, if you plan to go more than one day than a year pass is your best option.
Then you decide if you want to visit only the theme park or also the water park. There is a single park pass, a double park pass, and a triple park pass. The double park pass allows you unlimited entry to the theme park and SeaLife.
The triple park year pass is the only option to get a pass for both the theme park and the water park. It also gives entry to SeaLife, so you have unlimited visits to all three parks in a year. This pass comes with many benefits including free parking, 10% off food and beverages in the parks, 10% off certain Lego purchases in the park to name a few.
For easy reference, here are your ticket options with prices as of September 2025. All ticket prices are in Malaysian Ringgit (RM).

What are the Operating Hours of Legoland Malaysia and When it is Open?
Legoland Malaysia opens at 10:00am. SeaLife and Legoland Waterpark open their gates and allow visitors in at 10:00am. Legoland Theme Park will often open the gates up to 10 to 15 minutes early and allows visitors entry into The Beginning Zone only. This allows visitors to visit the shops and begin some of the first activities. There is often a small celebration on the stage at 10:00am and then the rest of the park and rides opens up.
Even though Legoland Malaysia is seldom overcrowded, the entry can sometimes get bottlenecked. We recommend being there 20 minutes before opening to get ahead of the line and hopefully entering the gates early to enjoy The Beginning zone. If we miss getting there 20 minutes early, we will often wait until around 10:10-10:20am to go in after the line has died down.
Legoland last entry is 5:00pm, and you are not allowed to enter the park after this time. The official closing time is 6:00pm. Legoland Theme Park is somewhat loose on its closing time. Rides do end sharply at 6:00pm, and all visitors are encouraged to head to The Beginning Zone. However, the shops and cafe do operate for a bit longer. Sometimes we are leaving the turnstiles around 6:30pm.
Hours
10:00am - 6:00pm
(Last entry 5:00pm)
Important Information
Legoland Theme Park is CLOSED every Wednesday (except open in June/December when they are open on Wednesdays)
Legoland Waterpark is CLOSED every Tuesday (except open in June/December when they are open on Tuesdays)
Legoland Malaysia Theme Park and its Different Zones
The main thing at Legoland Malaysia is the theme park. It is home to 7 zones of attractions stemming off of an amazing Lego Miniland in the center.
Each of the 7 zones has a different theme and is filled with a conglomeration of rides, shows, building Lego areas, dining, extra cost games, and playgrounds.
Rides are the main attractions in each zone. Each ride has a sign in front of the entrance to let you know the details of the ride – the height requirement and the expected sensory input. You can measure your child there, but if they are close to the height limit, they will measure again at the front of the line before letting your child on the ride.
There are often 2 different lines on the sign. One showing minimum height requirement when riding with an adult. The other showing minimum height when riding independently. There is a maximum height on some rides also, but unless you are a family of professional basketball players you probably don’t have to worry. It is 195cm and only prohibits riding a few of the rides.
Below you will find highlights and a detailed descriptions of each of the seven different zones at Legoland.
The Beginning
This is the zone that you enter when you go through the front turnstiles of the theme park. You are welcomed in by the seasonal activity booths and the Beginning Stage which hosts shows throughout the day. Any of the services you might need to use at Legoland, such as stroller rental or upgrading your ticket to an annual pass, happens in this area. Yes, you can upgrade your single day pass into a year pass if you want to. You will simply pay the difference in cost!
There are also several stores, most of which sell Legos, but of particular interest may be the Mini Market. The Mini Market is found behind the activity booths on the right when you enter the park. It has all the items you may have forgotten at home or suddenly need in the park – ponchos, sunscreen, hats, etc.
There is also a BIG Brick Store at the Beginning. Here you can find so many different Lego sets for sale.
If Legoland Malaysia is having a special celebration on your visit, such as Halloween or Christmas, the activity booths will have a special redemption booth set up. This is where you can take your kids to find out what special activity is happening around the park that they can do. Our favorite is the Halloween scavenger hunt where you try to find different Lego creatures around the park and take a picture when you find them. Once you have found all of them, you go back to the redemption booth, show your pictures, and receive a prize. Don’t worry! If you have more than one kid, they will give a prize to all the kids in your family for the one set of pictures!
Lego City
The Lego City zone is to the right after you pass through The Beginning zone. We spend a lot of time in this zone with our younger kids. With the theme being transportation and with many transportation rides it makes it a fun area for little kids!
The ride that tops our family’s list is Driving School. This is such a hit! There are two different driving schools – one for ages 3-5 and one for ages 6-12 years old. Before they can get on the ride, they need to take their driving class, where they watch a movie to learn how to drive and what all the road signs mean. Then they are given a chance to go out and drive around the course. If you want to spend a little extra, you can pay to receive an official Legoland driving license at the end!
Along with the car driving school, there is a boat school. Beware: This ride does tend to have long lines, so if you are eager to ride, we recommend hitting this attraction early to avoid the lines. You or your child can drive a boat through a water way. Depending on how good a driver you are – you may pass others, or get stuck, or even bump into fellow boats!
A few more fun preschool to elementary kid rides include the classic airplane ride and the fire truck ride. The airplane ride you simply go around in a circle and up and down, but it is enjoyable. In the fire truck ride, your family races against others to ‘pump’ the fire truck to the other side of a parking lot to ‘pump’ the water to put out a building that is on fire. Once the fire is out, then you race back to see who can finish first. Our family of six likes to take two vehicles, so we can race each other!
The last ride to mention in this area is the Legoland Malaysia train. This is a classic ride which the whole family will enjoy (Ok, maybe not your preteen who wants to be running from one fast ride to the next!). We also recommend it as one of the first rides you do in Legoland theme park to get your bearings on what there is and how the zones look. The train ride will take you on a loop of the park hitting many of the zones on the way. It is not a super long ride and it does miss the Imagination zone all together, but again, it is a good introduction to how Legoland Malaysia looks for the whole family.
Across from the Legoland train is the special City Stage Theater which hosts the Lego Ninjago Live Show twice a day. Typically, the shows are held at 12:30 and 2:30pm. If you have Ninjago fans in your family, we recommend this show. It is a live theater using full-size Lego puppets to put on a Lego Ninjago adventure. Arrive at the show 10 minutes before it begins, to make sure you get a good seat. (We recommend as close to the front as possible.)
Land of Adventure
From the Lego City zone, you walk into the Land of Adventure. It’s a large zone with just a few great rides. Pharoah’s revenge is a laser shooting ride where you try to earn as many points as you can by shooting at many lit up targets. Watch for the lights to turn red after you shoot them and then shoot them again – you’ll earn double points!
Dino Island is Legoland Malaysia’s log ride – with a huge splash at the end! Expect to get absolutely drenched! There are full body dryers next to ride for a RM 10 dry off. You can also buy ponchos in the Mini Market at the front or in the Lego shop next to the ride. We tend to do the ride right at the end of our time at the theme park so we don’t mind being so wet!
Lego Ninjago World
The Lego Ninjago World is unique as it sits in the Land of Adventure zone, but is regarded as its own zone on the official Legoland Malaysia map.
The ride is a fun interactive journey through the world of Ninjago where you move your hands in front of motion sensors that then send out colored balls of energy to fight off Ninjago enemies on the screens. As you attack, you receive points. You can see how many points you earned as you walk away from the ride. You also get to see a combined total of points that your team receives at the end of the game. Your team is everyone in the vehicle with you on the ride. It is a fun competitive game. We enjoy this game as a large family because we can divide into two cars and compete for the most points.
Inside the Ninjago zone, while you are waiting for the ride, there are activities to play with. There are some very fun Lego building stations where you can attach Lego to a wall to create Ninjago characters. There are also a number of large Ninjago models to see as you go through the line.
Imagination
Walking into the Imagination zone from the Land of Adventure, you pass by a large orchestra fountain. As you walk around the fountain, the motion sensor senses your legs and instruments turn on to play based on which sensors you have activated. The kids love running around and standing by their favorite instruments to keep the orchestra playing away!
The imagination zone is the area where you will find the large preschool section. The DUPLO Playtown is a playground with climbing toys that look like large Duplos, a miniature train ride gives the littlest kids a safe place to spend their time.
Across from the preschool area are the 4D cinemas. There are a variety of shows throughout the day. Our favorite 4D show is the Lego City show. It is a 15 minute episode of Lego where you wear 3D glasses and get pummeled by wind and bubbles throughout the show. All our kids love it, both the littles and the big ones.
Next to the 4D show theater is the observation tower. This is definitely a must-do on your first trip to Legoland. The tower goes up very high above the park, then revolves around slowly so you get a view of everything!
Lastly, there is a huge restaurant back in this zone which specializes in pizza. You can get an extra large pizza, which is great for a family! They also have other food also, but our kids always jump at a chance to get pizza.
Lego Kingdoms
Lego Kingdoms zone is back behind Miniland and is recognized by its large castle. Out of the castle comes the biggest roller coaster at Legoland – The Dragon! It is a fun coaster for the whole family. Our kids, as young as six, have been able to ride next to an adult.
The Dragon’s Apprentice, another smaller roller coaster, is across from the Dragon. It is a fast roller coaster that goes through the roller coaster tracks twice before ending the ride. The Dragon often has a 10 minute line, but we find that the Dragon’s Apprentice always has a much shorter line.
A fun ride for the younger kids is the Royal Joust, where they independently ride around on a Lego horse on a track. Along the way they can see some cool Lego builds. A classic and fun ride for small kids.
There is a Castle Stage located at the front part of the castle. This stage is used for many special events throughout the year.
Lego Technic
Near the front of Legoland, just to the left after the The Beginning zone is Lego Technic. There are several rides here, the most famous being Legoland’s first VR roller coaster called The Great Lego Race. In this ride, you put on a VR headset and then start the roller coaster. The roller coaster twists and turns at just the right time for the adventure you are taking in your VR making it quite an experience!
The Great Lego Race has two different sets of height restrictions. To ride the roller coaster without a VR set you need to be 4 years old and at least 105 cm. To ride the roller coaster with the VR headset on, you need to be at least 8 years old and 130 cm. This has caused some sadness in our family as we can all ride the roller coaster now but only the older kids could ride with the VR headset on.
Across from the Great Lego Race is the Aquazone Wave Racers ride. Another ride where you can get quite wet! You go around in a circle above the water in small vehicles while visitors on the outside of the water can shoot you with water. You can control the vehicle a little bit by being able to choose if you spin closer or further out, so you never know quite how soaked you will be at the end of this ride!
The other part of Lego Technic worth mentioning is the Lego Mindstorms building. It has a big Albert Einstein Lego head on the outside of the building to help you recognize it! Here you can sign your kids up to learn basic Lego programming. The minimum age again is 8 years old. We recommend coming here right away in the morning to sign your child up for a slot as there are limited slots throughout the day and it is on a first come first serve basis. Lego Mindstorms is the programming and robotics Lego series.
There is a Lego building room at the back of this zone called Rebuild the World. It has two big rooms full of different Legos, and it is our go-to spot when it is raining. Plenty of room for everyone to sit and build for hours. There is a huge Lego globe in the center of the first room that you can add your creations onto, or you can just build at a table.
Miniland
A huge hit with our family is Miniland. Built entirely of Legos, this space takes up the center of Legoland Malaysia’s theme park. Most zones of Legoland connect with the Miniland, so it is a great one to regroup in or to get to the other zones.
Miniland is a display of extremely massive Lego builds showcasing the amazing building and history of southeast Asia. It is divided according to the ASEAN region. ASEAN is the Association of South East Asian Nations. Miniland has built up displays with at least one Lego build per southeast Asian country.
Within Miniland there is also a major highlight on Malaysia. Malaysia covers a large area with each of Malaysia’s different provinces’ highlighted. You can spend several hours looking at each Lego exhibit. There is a mini Lego train that runs through several of the exhibits. There are boats that sail around a track in the water, and there are many buttons to push to bring Lego people to life.
In April 2025, the Lego flower garden opened in Miniland. This beautiful area is adorned with flower arrangements in pots, gardens, and hanging fences.
In August 2025, a new updated Singapore exhibit opened. It is amazing and showcases Singapore’s amazing skyline! The fact that all of these places are made out of Legos is jaw dropping!
Shows
There are 3 different types of shows around Legoland Malaysia.
First, there are live shows that are held at specific times throughout the day. They are held on different stages throughout the park. You can find a schedule of when the shows will be for each month at customer service or with a brochure you can get when you get your tickets. Each month brings different shows and events. The main stages where these shows are held are at the Beginning Zone and Kingdom Zone. They will also have some live shows that they walk around and perform in front of different rides.
Second, there is a live action show that the actors have perfected. It is a special Ninjago puppet show called The Realm of Shadows. The puppeteers are incredible, and the show is so much fun. Come a few minutes early to the show to get a good seat. The theater for the live action show is in the Lego City zone. It is offered 2 times daily.
Finally, 4D Movies are offered at the cinema in Legoland. There are several different 4D movies they show during the day. Of the several options, each is shown two or three times throughout the day. They run around one showing every 45 minutes, and the shows are approximately 15 minutes in length. If you want to see a specific show, we recommend seeing the daily showing times so you can schedule getting there on time. Our favorite 4D show is the Lego City show. There are lots of bubbles that fall down on you from the ceiling for water effect!
Playgrounds for Small Kids
The playgrounds are found throughout the park. We found these really helpful when one or two children were too small to ride and had to wait for older siblings. The little kids didn’t feel like they were waiting, because they got to be on the playground playing too!
Lego Building Areas
Throughout the park, there are tubs of Legos or Duplos set up for kids to stop and build with. This is a great short stop in between rides or waiting for a show to begin.
There are several special airconditioned buildings that are also exclusively for Lego building. My kids love these rooms and spend hours in them!
Theme Park Services
Lockers/Cold Storage Lockers
To the side of the turnstiles, before entering the theme park, you will find cold storage lockers. For a cost, you can leave food in them before entering the park. Just let the security guards know you are using the lockers when they check your bags as there is no personal food allowed inside any of the parks. You may bring your own water into the park but no other drinks.
There are also regular non cold lockers inside the theme park that you can store your items.
Baby Care Center
Legoland Malaysia tries very hard to be as child friendly as possible. They understand that the theme park can be tiring to little kids and that parents may be looking for a quiet place for babies to nap and to be attended to. In the Imagination zone of Legoland, right next to the Pizza Mania dining hall, you will find a specialized Baby Care Center. The baby care center is open for mothers to enter with babies and small children.
A refrigerator and bottle warmers are provided for use in this room. And in order to make it a safe place for mothers to nurse, men are not allowed inside. This is a comfortable place to give a diaper change if needed also. The other restrooms within Legoland are not well designed for diaper changes, comfortable nursing or tending to babies, so having a nice clean and quiet room is great! Look for the large Duplo giraffe to help you find it!
Hours
11:00am-5:00pm
Stroller Rental
Legoland has both single and double strollers for rent for the day.
When you enter the theme park, go to the Mini Market next to Guest Services to rent one.
The cost for a single stroller is RM 58 with a RM 50 cash deposit. The double stroller is RM 80 for the day with a RM 50 cash deposit.
Wheelchair Rental
Legoland also has wheelchairs for rent for the day. As with the strollers, you can go to the Mini Market next to the Guest Services to rent one.
Hero Access Pass
Like other theme parks in the world, Legoland has an option to bypass lines. It is only RM 100 for the day per person (RM 70 for Annual Pass Holders), but the caveat is that it only works for a few select rides.
In our experience going throughout the year, these rides have the longest lines. However, compared to other theme parks, we’ve never found the lines absurdly long. The Dragon, Legoland Malaysia’s big roller coaster, has a 15-20 minute wait on its busiest days. Boat school has the longest wait time, in my opinion, and is around 30 minutes.
So, if you feel those times are worth paying for the pass, then it is available to you. You can purchase at Guest Services or the Brick Shop.
Food Options in the Legoland Theme Park
Legoland has restaurants located in various zones across the theme park and one located in the water park. These sit-down options serve a small selection of meals (each restaurant has a different variety). There are often family meal options that feed a family of 4 for RM 100-200.
Our top food choices for inside the theme park are:
The Cafe – located in the Beginning Zone right at the front of Legoland theme park, this cafe has a number of different food options for the whole family.
Burger Junction
In the Land of Adventure and right next to Dino Island, this restaurant has several filling meal options, not only burgers!
Pizza Mania
A large restaurant in the Imagination zone, this restaurant has many options for food including their pizza. Pizzas come in a variety of sizes and we love how big the extra large is! A great food option for a large family with the variety of food options and the seating availability.
Food Stands
Another food option inside the park are the food stands. These are found outside the main entrance and in various zones around the park. The stands usually sell just a few snack items. It is not uncommon to see them closed down though as they are only open for the busiest days of the year.
Refillable Drink Options
Legoland has three different cups that you can buy inside the park that come with free refills. This is such a fun option to add to your day since you can refill your cups at every cafe around the park, so no matter what zone you are in, you can find a place to refill! You can use the refill cups at either the Themepark or the Waterpark.
You are not allowed to bring outside food into the theme park.
If you are feeding a larger family like us you may want to leave the park to find food. Thankfully, there is a strip mall called Mall of Medini right outside the Legoland Malaysia entrance. Just go out the theme park turnstiles like you are to Sea Life and keep walking up the ramp.
Do double check that if you get a day pass, you will be allowed to leave and come back in after lunch. Some special promotional tickets don’t allow you to leave during the duration of your visit if you only have a day pass. Annual Passes all allow you to leave the park and return.
Sea Life Aquarium
Sea Life Aquarium is housed in a building in front of the theme park. Tickets can be purchased at the main ticketing office next to the theme park. This is separate from where you buy tickets to the theme park. However, if you buy a two park pass, triple park pass, or annual pass that include Sea Life, you will buy that at the main ticket counter.
Give yourselves about 2 hours to complete sea life. It can easily be added onto a day at the water park or theme park. It’s a great middle of the day option to take a break from the sun and enjoy time inside with the air conditioner!
Sea Life spans 2 floors with various exhibits – local species of fish are highlighted, but many others from around the world can be found too.
Two highlights found in Sea Life for our family are the hand-on exhibit and the shark tunnel.
The hands-on exhibits allow visitors to touch starfish which is a highlight for our younger kids! They have hand washing stations before touching (to keep the starfish safe), and also hand washing after (to keep you safe). They have staff there to help you know how to touch the starfish safely and carefully. There are also shrimp in the tank, but they are too quick to touch.
The shark tunnel. This is found at the end of your visit to Sea Life. Sharks are in a tank with other fish, making you feel like you are underwater with them! We recognized some black-tipped reef sharks that we had seen in the ocean on Kapas Island when we did some awesome snorkeling with our kids.
Special Activities
One option for Sea Life Aquarium is a Behind the Scenes Tour. Book this before your visit to make sure there is availability. It will cost extra.
Behind the scenes includes having the ability to go into the restricted areas of the aquarium. There you can learn about their conservation programs, how they conduct research and about how they breed the animals and how they prepare food for the aquarium.
Legoland Malaysia Water Park
Our family loves Legoland’s water park. Though there are water parts with larger slides in other places in Malaysia, the family-friendliness and addition of Legos makes this water park a winner for us. And yes – I said Legos! These Legos are large foam bricks that float in the lazy river! Kids can build with them in the water or on the inner tube.
There are several sets of slides around the water park with a variety of single, double, tube, or body options. Our family of 6 loves the ride where we all race through a water slide to see who will shoot out the farthest!
Some highlights for young kids include the wave pool and the water playground. The wave pool slopes gently down, making a large portion of it shallow enough for young kids to jump around in. There are also life jackets for kids to put on. The water playground is lots of fun with water shooters and a dumping bucket.
Lastly, there is a Lego boat making area, where kids can send their boats down a stream and see if their boat can stay together through the water flow!
For the youngest children, there is a zone with just a small amount of water and some play items to splash around.
Water Park Services
Lockers
There are locker rooms immediately upon entering the water park. They are located just outside the changing rooms. Two sizes are available – small sizes for RM 40 and big sizes for RM 80. All lockers are opened and closed with your phone number so there is no carrying around keys through the water park!
Cabanas
There are a row of cabanas in the water park, centrally located past the locker rooms and the restaurant and central to all the attractions. You can rent a cabana out for the day.
If you are interested in renting out a cabana for the day, you may want to book as soon as possible as they get filled quickly on busier days. They are nice to have a private place to store your items, and they come with a small fridge for keeping drinks cool. We haven’t felt the need to spend the money yet for a cabana as the public facilities work for our family.
Cabana Cost
Full Day - 300 RM (270 RM with annual pass)
Half Day - 250 RM (220 RM with annual pass)
Food Options in the Legoland Waterpark
There are two food options inside the Legoland Waterpark. These restaurants sell the same kind of food that you will find at the Legoland Theme Park.
You will find the first restaurant near the wave pool. There are tables and chairs set up overlooking the wave pool. It is a great central location to eat and watch the kids play in the wave pool.
The second food option is located near the water playground. This is also right next to the entrance and exit to the lazy river that runs the perimeter of the waterpark. This location is more difficult to snag a table and seat as they fill up quickly.
You are not allowed to bring outside food into the water park. You are allowed to bring in water from the outside.
Food Outside the Legoland Parks
Even though you cannot bring outside food into the Legoland Parks there are a number of dining options right outside the parks within walking distance.
Mall of Medini has a number of fast-food restaurants, including the Malaysian favorite The Chicken Rice Shop. This is a great option for a meal that will cost you less than eating inside the park itself. Our pick is the soup dumplings, but all their food is excellent!
Besides The Chicken Rice Shop, you also have the choice of Burger King, KFC or Subway. If your kids are used to Western fast food and are picky like a few of ours, this is great news finding food that is familiar to them!
The Mall of Medini has an international grocery store called Ben’s Independent Grocer (The B.I.G.). They have a kitchen inside with lots of made to order western options. Salads, fish and chips, sandwiches, and pizza to name a few. There are tables for eating inside the grocery store also. We like this option as we can also get some chips, cut up fruit, and drinks from inside the grocery store to round out your meal.
Lastly, there are 2 Malaysian restaurants at the far end of the strip mall – a nasi kandar restaurant which serves cheap local food, and a nasi lemak restaurant with Malaysian traditional dishes. Both options give you a great meal for a reasonable price.
Honestly, nasi kandar restaurants are some of our favorite restaurants to eat at in Malaysia. If you are from out of the country, we recommend trying this restaurant. They have a lot of roti options, as well as nasi goreng ayam (chicken fried rice) and mee goreng (fried noodles). Nasi kandar restaurants are always halal.
Parking at Legoland
Unless you are staying at the Legoland Hotel, we suggest parking in parking zone 1 & 2. There are plenty of spots, it’s easy to access the park, and it’s easy to find your way there through Google Maps. If you are staying at the Legoland Hotel, then they have free parking for the hotel.
Parking
RM 10 per entry (can stay all day)
Free when validated with triple park pass.
If you have a triple park pass, then parking is free if you validate your parking by showing your parking ticket and pass when you exit the park.
Legoland Hotel
The last part of Legoland Malaysia to mention is their hotel. The Legoland Hotel, while so much more expensive than hotels in the area, is really a unique experience. It’s definitely worth doing once if you have the money.
The rooms are decorated in theme and there is a kids bedroom and a parents bedroom in each hotel room. There is a scavenger hunt for the kids when you first enter the room with a prize at the end.
Do note that the hotel rooms are made for a family of 5 for maximum occupancy. Which means for families like ours that are larger, two hotel rooms will need to be booked. Different floors have different themes, so if you book a Lego Friends room and a Lego Adventure room, they will be on different floors.
The hotel is full of lego building and other events to keep the whole family entertained! There are both free and paid events to participate in. The check-in counter can give you more information or check the digital signs in the lobby. We have not found any need to pay for extra events as there is more than enough to do!
The breakfast buffet comes with your room and it is enormous! So much food! A great start to a day at Legoland Malaysia. There are amazing lego displays around the buffet also. Please note that currently the buffet breakfast has changed location due to renovations and should return to normal location upon completion of renovation. This should be October 30 2025.
We highlight the hotel, because while you can do Legoland Malaysia without staying at the hotel (we have chosen this option many times now with our annual pass), the Legoland Hotel really adds to the experience of vacationing at a theme park. We definitely feel there are benefits to staying there that you can not get by staying elsewhere and just visiting the three parks on your own.
To be honest, when we stayed at the Legoland Hotel, it was difficult to get the kids out of the hotel lobby and to want to go to the theme park. This is because there are massive quantities of lego to build with while you are in the lobby. They wanted to remain at the hotel and play with the Legos.
How to Get to Legoland
One of the most convenient ways to get to Legoland Malaysia is to fly into Singapore. Singapore’s Changi Airport is the closest major airport to Legoland, and if you intend to fly to Legoland then that will be your best option.
If you have a reasonable sized hotel booked for your stay at near Legoland, or if you have booked with the Legoland Hotel, then you can arrange airport transfer when you book. Hotels are used to providing this service and will be happy to accommodate your request. This is probably the easiest way as it will be included in your hotel price.
When we arrived in Singapore and had booked with Legoland Hotel we had our driver waiting for us with our names and it was extremely easy.
Singapore Changi Airport to Legoland Malaysia
Legoland Hotel Airport Transfer
RM 410 (4-seater vehicle)
RM 520 (7-seater vehicle)
(These prices are for a 1-way trip)
If you have booked with a cheaper accommodation via Booking.com what does not offer airport transfer you will be able to find plenty of companies that provide this service. One such company is Nusa Transport.
When we transferred from Singapore to Legoland with a private company we did end up having to communicate with our driver to find a location to meet. It was not difficult to make the connection just a small added step in finding the driver.

RM 330 (7-seater vehicle)
(These prices are for a 1-way trip)
If you are coming from Singapore, you will have to go through immigration in the vehicle. Singapore and Malaysia have made the land crossing by vehicle as smooth as possible. There may be lot of traffic as you cross the border, but this is very dependent on what time of day or what day you arrive. You will not have to exit the vehicle as you go through immigration.
The immigration officers will collect your documents from you in the vehicle, much like going through a fancy toll booth. You will have to make sure all your children are visible in the vehicle, but they have let our sleeping kids stay asleep as long as they can be seen.
You also have the option to get to Legoland Malaysia from Kuala Lumpur. Kuala Lumpur to Legoland is about a 4-hour drive. You can book ahead with reputable international companies such as Viator, or you can book with local Malaysian shuttle services also.
If you choose to take a shuttle service from Kuala Lumpur, you can expect to pay somewhere in the range of RM 700 – RM 1000
Here are a few options of companies to check out: MyTaxiBuddy, and Hackney Carriage offer a private vehicle. Causeway Link Express is a bus service, and you will pay per person so often is not the best option financially for large families but works well for small ones.
A final option is to note that there is a small airport in Johor Bahru, the town where Legoland is located. It is called Senai Airport. If you are able to fly into the Johor Bahru airport you can easily take a Grab taxi to get from the airport to Legoland. Grab is a ridesharing app similar to Uber.
Surrounding Area
The area surrounding Legoland Malaysia is just beginning to develop. Most of the buildings are apartment buildings.
Located directly next to Legoland is the Mall of Medini which is outlined in the Dining portion above. Along with restaurants, the Mall of Medini is filled with small attractions such as SnowLand JB and electric kiddie cars. In fact the center of the strip mall is a constantly changing assembly of kid activities that cost just a few ringgits.
The grocery store Ben’s Independent Grocer (B.I.G.) is the main attraction in the middle of the Mall of Medini. With many imported foods from around the world, it is a great place to shop if you are hoping to cook in your accommodation or have snacks for your trip.
The only other buildings in the vicinity of Legoland are residences. There is one hotel available to stay in called Hotel Ramada by Wyndham Meridin.
Otherwise, your options are to stay in apartments that you can find on booking.com. As a family we prefer to stay in apartments near Legoland. The apartments nearby are perfect for families because they allow more people to stay in, and we can all stay together with a common living room. It also gives us the ability to have space to do family activities in the morning before Legoland opens and evening once we are done for the day.
If you want further dining and attractions near Legoland Malaysia but not immediately adjacent, there are a few areas we suggest.
The first is a 10 minute drive from Legoland to an area called Puteri Harbor. As the area grows, the restaurant options continue to expand. There is a Hard Rock Cafe now available called Hard Rock Cafe Puteri Harbor. Another outstanding option is a restaurant serving Arabic food called Restoran Arab Zaatar. Along with these, there are other cuisines such as a steakhouse, Thai restaurant, and Japanese options. There are also several options of minimarts around to buy convenience items. If you are looking to stay in a place that has more to offer than just Legoland, Puteri Harbor is really the best choice. Not too far from Legoland but still with dining options.
There are many apartments available at Puteri Harbor on booking.com. We have stayed at two different apartment complexes in this area, and both have had wonderful views of Singapore over the harbor. It’s fun to have a balcony where you can watch the ships as well as see the lights come on in the next country over!
If you are planning on staying farther out then Puteri Harbor, the two built up areas are Skudai to the north and downtown Johor Bahru to the east. Both of these options have many accommodations available. Both Skudai and downtown Johor will be over a 20 minute drive to Legoland. So, keep that in mind as you make your plans.
