    We had the privilege of attending Legoland Malaysia grand opening on the 15th of September 2012 along with 9 other bloggers, thanks to Maybank and Legoland.  As a Lego enthusiast, I had the opportunity to see first hand many architectural wonders at Legoland Malaysia.  I was also secretly happy when CityGal told me that she would be away in Hong Kong for a business trip. She’s more of a Barbie Doll person than a hardcore Lego fans than I do. Hence, I got my buddy Chris to come along and we had so much fun exploring the theme park!

    Legoland Malaysia is a theme park for families, with 7 themed areas and over 40 interactive rides across 76 acres. The choices are amazing; the fun enormous and the memories will last a lifetime.

    Legoland Malaysia is also well equipped with amenities and services such as first aid, locker rental, baby care centre, lost & found and stroller/wheel chair rental.

    Dino Island is definitely the wettest ride in Legoland Malaysia. There’s no escape in getting wet with the 12 metre high waterfall.

    The heart of the Legoland Malaysia, however, is located in Lego Miniland. It is also my favourite themed area of Legoland Malaysia. Here, Asia’s most famous countries, cities and landmarks are recreated on a scale of 1:20, using more than 30 million Lego bricks. It took the team more than three years to complete these beautiful structures.

    Many of the models are animated, so visitors can bring Lego figures, trains and airplanes to life at the touch of a button.
