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.

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!
