Singapore 2015, Day 2 - Legoland Malaysia

Legoland Malaysia is located in Johor Bahru, around 1 hour and 15 minutes from the Singapore Flyer. We bought tickets to the theme park online and availed of two-way coach transfers from AsiaTravel for a hassle-free trip across the Malaysian border, and we paid SGD 80 (PHP 2,700) for everything. We went to the Singapore Flyer which was the pick-up point of the tour.

The trip to Legoland took about an hour and a half. We had to alight the bus and get our passports stamped at the Singapore border as we left the country and at the Malaysian border as we entered Malaysia.

First and foremost, let me just say that Legoland is for children. Haha. The most exciting ride was probably the roller coaster because each car only had four seats, but the ride itself was pretty short. The park was huge though, and different sections of the park had different themes.

The restaurants inside the park accepted both Singapore dollars and Malaysian ringgit (MYR), but the conversion was SGD 1 to MYR 1 so it wasn't a good deal since outside the park, SGD 1 equals MYR 2.80. Luckily we had already exchanged pesos to ringgit before we left the Philippines so we availed of a good conversion rate. A plate of nasi lemak cost MYR 20, a bottle of mineral water cost MYR 3, and souvenirs cost MYR 25 upwards.

There was a Star Wars exhibit when we went!

One area of the park was called Miniland. It had miniature displays of famous landmarks in different Asian countries built using Lego bricks.

We rode the choo choo train!

The trip back to Singapore took longer than usual because of the long lines at the Malaysian immigration, which reminded me of our own immigration system. It was a long day, and we were exhausted by the time we returned to Fragrance Hotel. On our way back to the hotel, we passed by Marina Bay Sands and Helix Bridge.
