Land of LEGOs


There are many avenues to buy the tickets to LEGOLAND Malaysia. But, as anyone would expect, not all prices offered are equal. After some research, the lowest price found was SGD 38 (per adult 1-day admission ticket) sold by Sea Wheel Travel. The group of us are not keen on taking the coach because that will restrict us to a fixed timetable. Some tour agencies even include meals, which I find a waste of time. Anyway, the drive from Singapore to Legoland is really not that long (approximately 30 minutes after crossing both customs). And anyway, with GPS, it really not that difficult too.

We stopped for lunch at the Pizza Mania. Outside the eatery is this huge Lego giraffe.

The Observation Tower


Can you see the long queue from the fan's reflection?


After a long wait, it's finally our turn to get on it.

Before going there, I've already heard that it's a rather boring place for adults. Most rides are kiddy and the rest are too short. My experience = hot + humid + a lot of waiting in the queue. The only part that I truly enjoyed was the MINILAND, where all the miniaturized famous places are built using Lego bricks.

Melaka River Cruise

The Melaka River Cruise took us along the Malacca River that runs across the Malacca town. We came here after dinner and this was our last stop of the day.
