Legoland Malaysia Review
Legoland Malaysia was opened in October and
This will also be the first Legoland Theme Park in Asia and the sixth in the world after Denmark, Britain, California, Florida, and Germany. The massive 76-acre (31 hectares) project is brought together by IDR Resorts and UK-based Merlin Entertainment, costing a whopping RM750 million.
The good news for those across the border is that it will only be a 20-minute drive from the Tuas Second Link to Medini in Nusajaya, one of the five flagship zones of Iskandar Malaysia.
This will be the biggest family entertainment project in Johor which will attract tourists from locally, Indonesia and Singapore.

Replicas of famous landmarks worldwide such as India’s Taj Mahal, Beijing
Bird’s Nest Stadium, Cambodia’s Angkor Wat and Singapore’s Merlion statue will also be featured, all made from Lego bricks.
All the main structures will be located at Legoland’s Miniland. The theme
park also has famous buildings in Johor Baru, such as the Royal
Museum, Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque, and the Dataran Bandaraya clock tower.
A unique 4D theatre and kids driving school where children can obtain their first driving license, recognized by Legoland worldwide, are among the highlights.
Apart from the main park, there will be a Legoland Hotel and a Lifestyle Mall in the vicinity of the park.
The current completion date for the park has been set for early 2012, so stay tuned for news announcements. For further details on tickets and information, please read the end of this article.
And because of the tropical weather here in Malaysia, queuing areas will be covered as the developer has ordered thousands of trees to be planted within the park grounds.
Tour companies will take the opportunity to include this package for Malaysians, Singaporeans, and Indonesians, making the Southern region a worthy visit for holidaymakers.
Imagine spending 4 to 5 days around here where you get a chance to visit Singapore’s Universal Studios, Sentosa Island and Legoland Johor in one visit where everything is just a drive away.

Final Thoughts on Legoland Malaysia Review
I am sure that most of you would have had some experience playing with Legos in your younger days. I clearly remember my uncle from the UK, who brought a massive Lego Box Set as a gift when I was about seven years old.
That alone kept me busy for many years, so you can imagine the thrill of visiting an entire park filled with these little colourful bricks. See Legoland Johor opening pictures during my visit there. I hope that you have already made your way to Legoland Malaysia.
