3 Years Anniversary JB Trip - Legoland Malaysia

We spent a few hours in Legoland Malaysia touring the miniature buildings and enjoying some of the rides. It was a cloudy day and we had fun!

Walking a couple of metres in, we reached the entrance of Legoland Malaysia. The magnificent lego-like signboard with striking colours never fail to capture the attention of tourists.

We entered Legoland and came across several miniature buildings. I wonder how many Lego bricks it took to make up a structure like that? It sure takes lots of time and effort!

The building above replicates Sultan Abdul Samad Building - one of the oldest building in Kuala Lumpur. The Malaysia flag was hoisted in front of Sultan Abdul Samad Building for the first time in 1957.

Mosque Masjid Jamek is one of the oldest Mosque in Kuala Lumpur. It was built on the first Malay burial ground in the city located at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak River.

Putra Mosque is located next to Perdana Putra which houses the Malaysian Prime Minister's office.

The Fullerton Hotel is a five-star luxury hotel situated near the mouth of the Singapore River. It was originally known as The Fullerton Building, and also as the General Post Office Building.

The Merlion is a mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish, used as a mascot of Singapore. The fish body represents Singapore's origin as a fishing village and the lion head represents Singapore's original name, Singapura, which means Lion City.

During the 1860s, Boat Quay was a busy port, handling three quarters of all sea trades. Today, it is turned into a popular tourist destination with restaurants and bars.

Lego Kingdom gives an atmosphere of ancient times where knights, kings and dragons exists. There is a roller coaster ride named The Dragon here at Lego Kingdom. Hearing the name of the ride send chills down my spine!

The Lego Tower which gives you a 360-degrees panorama view of Legoland. When we board the tower, the sky was dark and gloomy. We could see future expansions of Legoland currently under construction.

Right under the Lego Tower, there is an area for kids to play and run around. But, here I am like a big kid, ROAR!!!! I'm giving my best roar inside the Lion.

At Mummy Land, there's a ride where you enter the tunnels to slay the spiders and mummies using the laser guns.

We reached Legoland Express Station. After walking so much we were tired and we boarded the train. Just too bad the train brought us back to where we started after travelling one big round.

During the train ride, I was fortunate to catch a shot of this little girl driving a Lego car. She was waving at someone on the train. Probably some kids or tourist who wants her attention.

We had a break at The Café. We ordered a Turkey Ham Sandwich and drinks. The sandwich nice! They were generous with the sauce and ingridents. I can't help but notice this Eurasian baby. She was playing with her elder brother and the staffs working at the cafe.

I would recommend Legoland to families with young kids. Most of the attractions here are catered for kids; Lego Horse Rides, Mummy Rides, playgrounds, driving centre, fire fighting centre etc.
