Legoland

Every child is familiar with Lego bricks. And now the game has been translated into a theme park. Legoland Malaysia is the first Legoland park open in Asia and Malaysia's first international theme park.

 With 76 acres of land size, Legoland has more than 70 interactive rides, shows and attractions. Having eight themed lands such as Lego Kingdoms where you can find roller coasters, Imagination Zone to watch different 4D movies, and Lego Technic where you can let your imagination run wild with tons of Lego bricks.

With so many things to do and places to see, Legoland is the perfect family outing place. What impressed me the most is the Miniland, where it showcases a miniature version of Asia's iconic landmark such as Port of Tanjung Pelepas, Putrajaya, Singapore Merlion, Taj Mahal and many more. These miniatures were built using Lego bricks. So cool right!
