Travel Tips: Legoland, Malaysia

We know the feeling! Planning a Legoland Malaysia trip from Singapore can be a bit overwhelming, especially with the border crossing. That's why we've put together these helpful tips, sharing our own experiences to make your family's journey smoother. 

If you'd like even more personalised assistance, I'm here to help! I offer bespoke travel planning services to create the perfect Malaysian adventure for your family.
 

Plan Your Visit Strategically

• Weekdays are Best: Avoid weekends and public holidays if possible, as the park gets significantly busier.
• Check the Weather: Malaysia's weather can be hot and humid, with occasional rain showers. Plan accordingly and bring rain gear or ponchos.
• Arrive Early: Get to the park before opening to maximise your time and beat the crowds.
• Avoid Disappointment: Advance ticket purchase is strongly advised. Please refer to the Legoland website for current operating hours and scheduled special events.

Optimise Your Experience

• Prioritise Rides: If you have young children, focus on the Duplo and Imagination areas. Older kids will enjoy the Lego Technic and Land of Adventure zones.
• Utilise Child Swap: If you have a child too young for a ride, use the child swap option so both parents can still enjoy it.
• Attend Shows: Don't miss the live shows, as they offer entertaining breaks from the rides.
• SeaLife Centre: Legoland Malaysia also features a SEA LIFE Centre, and combination tickets for the theme park, water park, and SEA LIFE Centre are available on the official Legoland website.

Prepare for the Heat and Comfort

• Stay Hydrated: Bring water bottles and refill them at the park's water fountains.
• Sun Protection: Wear sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the strong sun.
• Comfortable Footwear: You'll be doing a lot of walking, so choose comfortable shoes.
• Bring a Portable Fan: A small, battery-operated fan can be a lifesaver in the heat.

Food and Drink Considerations

• Explore Dining Options: Legoland Malaysia offers a variety of food choices, from local cuisine to international favourites.
• Consider Bringing Snacks: Pack snacks to keep your energy levels up, especially for kids.
• Hydration is Key: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Transportation and Logistics

• Plan Your Transportation: Whether you're coming from Singapore or elsewhere in Malaysia, plan your transportation in advance.
• Travelling from Singapore to Legoland Malaysia: Travel from Singapore to Legoland Malaysia offers several options: local bus, train (both requiring multiple transfers), private vehicle, or coach transfer. We chose a coach transfer (via Klook), costing approximately £31 (USD $42) for two adults. This proved to be an efficient and seamless experience, with direct drop-off at the Legoland entrance and a smooth border crossing.
• Border Crossing (if applicable): If travelling from Singapore, be prepared for border crossing procedures. Have your passports and necessary documents ready. The border crossing process is similar to airport security, making it easy to navigate. Be prepared for comparable screening measures. Ensure a smooth border crossing by completing the required digital arrival cards in advance. The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) for entry into Malaysia and the Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC) for re-entry into Singapore can both be submitted online within three days of your travel. These single-use cards are provided without cost.
• Parking: If driving, be aware of parking fees and plan for potential delays.

Legoland Water Park Tips

• Bring Swimwear and Towels: If you plan to visit the water park, pack your swimwear and towels.
• Apply Sunscreen Regularly: Reapply sunscreen frequently, especially after swimming.
• Consider Renting a Cabana: For added comfort and shade, consider renting a cabana.

Shopping and Souvenirs

• Set a Budget: Legoland has numerous shops with tempting Lego merchandise. Set a budget to avoid overspending.
• Look for Deals: Keep an eye out for special offers and discounts.

Safety and Security:

• Keep an Eye on Your Belongings: Be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded areas.
• Supervise Children: Keep a close eye on your children, especially in the water park and play areas.

Embrace the Fun:

• Let Your Inner Child Out: Legoland is a place for fun and imagination. Embrace the experience and enjoy the magic of Lego.
• Take Photos and Videos: Capture the memories of your Legoland adventure. You'll find countless excellent photo spots you won't want to pass up!
• Have a Great Time!
