Our family are already big LEGO fans, but you don’t need to love LEGO to enjoy a visit to LEGOLAND with your family.

We’d already been lucky enough to visit LEGOLAND in California in 2020 and Legoland Windsor in 2025, so we knew that if LEGOLAND Malaysia was anything like it, it would be a whole lot of fun. The Malaysian LEGOLAND definitely didn’t disappoint!

Why take your Australian family to Malaysia LEGOLAND?

Malaysia LEGOLAND is Asia’s first LEGOLAND and Malaysia’s first international theme park. Themed to the hilt, the bright colours, happy atmosphere, boppy music and fun rides all mean there’s a lot to love there!

LEGOLANDs are great fun for every member of your family, from youngest to oldest. If your family love theme parks and like LEGO, then you’re going to absolutely love LEGOLAND Malaysia!

LEGOLAND Malaysia is only one hour from Singapore

Singapore has a huge amount of family fun to offer, and LEGOLAND makes the perfect Singapore side trip because it only takes one hour to get there from Changi Airport. We came straight from our hotel in Singapore, the Yotel Orchard – a super modern and fun hotel located right at Orchard Road.

LEGOLAND Malaysia is good value for Australian families

Malaysian hotels are cheaper than Singapore ones. A stay at the LEGOLAND Malaysia hotel is comparable to a three to four-star hotel in Singapore but the fun factor is much higher for families. So you can swap out one of your Singapore nights at LEGOLAND Malaysia like we did and it doesn’t cost you any more than your Singapore hotel would have!

Even though prices are cheaper in Malaysia, the LEGOLAND Malaysia resort is still a top-quality LEGOLAND resort with a great reputation as one of the world’s best theme parks.

The LEGOLAND theme park tickets represent good value in comparison to other LEGOLANDS. In addition, extra offers can be found throughout the resort. Take advantage of restaurant family deals to help stretch your Aussie dollar – or should I say, Malaysian Rinngit – further! Look at this spread we got for less than $40 – plus we got icecreams too! (We ended up with too much food actually, but we missed breakfast this day, so we did do it justice!)

What is at LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort?

The LEGOLAND Malaysia resort complex is made up of a large, themed hotel plus several attractions – all within easy walking distance of each other.

LEGOLAND Malaysia Hotel

Read our full LEGOLAND Malaysia hotel review here.

The huge official LEGO themed hotel towers over the complex with its LEGO block facade on the outside and fully themed interior. From the moment you enter the main lobby to check in you realise that this is no ordinary hotel – on the contrary, it’s a LEGO lover kid’s dream!

LEGOLAND Malaysia themed rooms

When booking a hotel room, you can choose from your favourite LEGO theme.

LEGOLAND themed rooms are an absolute delight and great fun to stay in. More like apartments, there is a main bedroom, a kid’s bunk room and bathroom.

Large LEGO figures decorate your room. From the walls to the quilt covers to the carpet, everything is awesome inside your LEGO hotel themed room!

There’s an entertainment schedule and roaming LEGOLAND characters to grab a photograph with. Up on the rooftop you’ll find a LEGO themed resort swimming pool with gorgeous views over the lush Malaysian countryside.

From the LEGO castle cubby and brick pits in the main lobby to the magical light and sound elevators and the huge family restaurant full of large LEGO statue installations – a stay at the LEGOLAND Malaysia hotel is an absolute must during your visit for the complete LEGOLAND experience.

What is there to do at LEGOLAND Malaysia?

There are three main attractions at Malaysia LEGOLAND, all surrounding the LEGO hotel.

The Sea Life LEGOLAND aquarium is situated next door to the Hotel, and features a glass tunnel walk through.

The LEGOLAND water park has numerous themed water slides located across from the Hotel, on one side of the theme park.

By far, the main attraction at LEGOLAND Malaysia is the large LEGOLAND theme park, featuring numerous rides, displays and shows.

With so much on offer, you could easily spend a couple of days exploring the Malaysia LEGOLAND hotel and attractions.

What ages is LEGOLAND best suited for?

Unlike many other big theme parks, LEGOLAND is designed with small children in mind – but it’s not exclusive to them! Specifically, LEGOLAND fashions their park around children aged from 2 years old up to 12 years old (so, toddlers, preschoolers and primary school aged kids).

Even though several of the 40 rides and activities at LEGOLAND Malaysia are targeted towards young children, there is still a plethora of fantastic rides and entertainment to suit all ages.

Is LEGOLAND Malaysia good for adults?

In addition to the numerous families at LEGOLAND we also saw adults without kids, particularly couples and groups of friends. This is because the park itself is really entertaining and has a lot to offer everyone.

As both a parent, and an adult I really enjoyed our time there. I love LEGOLAND! It’s pure, unadulterated childhood fun that everyone loves – whether you are a LEGO fan, or not!

What can teenagers do at LEGOLAND?

Even though my kids are both teenagers now, we all agree that Malaysia LEGOLAND was a big highlight of what was already an epic Asian family holiday.

There are lots of rides that tweens, teenagers and parents can all enjoy together at LEGOLAND Malaysia. My girls (14 and 16 years old during our visit) say LEGOLAND is cool!

How many rides are at LEGOLAND Malaysia?

There are over 40 rides at LEGOLAND Malaysia, separated into 8 different themed worlds that are spread along a large walking circuit. Along the way you’ll also find restaurants, shows, characters, shops and other park features.

There are both fast-paced and slow and gentle rides at LEGOLAND.

Are there any thrill rides at the LEGOLAND theme park?

We rode and enjoyed several big thrill rides at LEGOLAND including Dino-Island – a breath-taking water flume plunge ride, the Ninjago laser shooting ride, a fast water carriage ride, and several exciting roller coasters.

In addition to the LEGOLAND rides, you can enjoy slow themed carriage and boat rides and enchanting walk-through LEGO displays.

Kids love to take part in LEGO building opportunities and workshop areas such as the LEGOLAND Academy.

A LEGOLAND cinema shows 4D movies, and a theatre performs live theatre shows each day starring Ninjago and LEGO Princess characters.

There’s a huge LEGO miniature countries display area situated within the centre of the park, which can also be seen from the colourful LEGOLAND train.

A favourite ride of mine was the large observation tower, “The Tower” which gently rises up to slowly rotate as it showcases beautiful views across the lush city-meets-jungle surroundings.

It’s the perfect opportunity to take a short break from all the running around and excitement. Grab an ice-cream or cool drink to take up with you so you can relax and take in the view whilst enjoying refreshments at the same time!

The huge LEGO gift shop at the front entrance has more LEGO than you’ve probably ever seen in one place! It’s hard not to walk out with at least one little set, and some are unique to LEGOLAND Malaysia.

All in all, it took us around four hours to circumnavigate the whole theme park. If we had had little ones with us, it could easily have been a full day out.

What are the LEGOLAND rides height limit?

A few rides at LEGOLAND are too small for adults, and some rides are too big for small children. Height guides are at the entrances to rides that have height minimums and maximus. There are plenty of English-speaking ride attendants to help supervise height limits.

LEGOLAND Malaysia weather

We visited Singapore and Malaysia during August and it was very hot and humid – you definitely need to keep your fluids up and drink plenty of water. We became connoisseurs of constant iced drinks! Malaysia enjoys a tropical climate, so it stays warm, humid and often rainy all year round. Just go with it – you’re in a different climate and on holiday – different is always a novelty!

Is it safe to go to Malaysia LEGOLAND?

Basic care and caution is always your friend when traveling. I’m sure I’m telling you the obvious here, but in Malaysia and elsewhere, terrorism is always a possibility. Always be sure to follow any Malaysia government directives or advice in the event of an emergency and consult with the Australian Embassy.

Before you go anywhere, always check the Australian Government Smartraveller website . They know which countries are a heightened risk to your safety. At the current time (January 2023), their advice is that visitors to Malaysia are advised to exercise normal safety precautions.

LEGOLAND Malaysia felt very safe to visit – it really felt a lot like a standard western theme park. Everyone spoke English everywhere. Everything was clean, neat and well-maintained. Quality food and water was always available to purchase.

Do I need cash for Legoland Malaysia?

No you don’t need Malaysian cash if you are just visiting Legoland Malaysia. Credit cards are readily accepted. The only thing you need cash for is if you are going shopping outside of the parks, or if you want to buy a copper press coin inside the park. Cash can be obtained from the ATM at the front entrance.

Helpful English-speaking staff are dotted all around LEGOLAND to answer any questions or concerns visitors might have, too.

The hotel was also very clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere overall at LEGOLAND Malaysia was a warm and welcoming one.

Discounted LEGOLAND Malaysia hotel rooms

I actually found the cheapest LEGOLAND Hotel room deal on a hotel comparison website instead of booking directly with LEGOLAND, so it may be worth checking first – it saved me almost $100 a night! Read more in our LEGOLAND Hotel review here.

The cheapest LEGOLAND Malaysia tickets were on Klook

I like to shop around for the cheapest prices always, so I researched prices on the official LEGOLAND website, the third party app Pelago and the third party app Klook.

I purchased through Klook as it had the cheapest LEGOLAND Malaysia tickets. I also liked that you could downloaded the Klook app to your phone and then have your purchased tickets easily accessible digitally. I bought several of our Singapore attractions tickets on Klook, so it worked really well for me during our Singapore family holiday.

Another benefit was that the ticket codes meant no standing around in lines – you can go straight to the express entrance gates to be scanned in. So you can skip the queues!

LEGOLAND Malaysia is closed on Wednesdays

LEGOLAND Malaysia completely closed on Wednesdays, and the LEGOLAND Water Park is closed on Tuesdays.

Go to LEGOLAND Malaysia on a weekday

LEGOLAND Malaysia is most quiet on weekdays. We went on a Monday and it was extremely quiet, with no queueing for rides. LEGOLAND staff told me that weekends are apparently very busy, so it’s good to avoid weekends for your visit if possible.

The LEGOLAND Hotel was moderately busy even on a Monday, however the LEGOLAND Hotel is a big part of the experience, so do try to stay there if possible!
