[TRAVEL] SEA LIFE + Halloween Brick-Or-Treat at LEGOLAND®, Malaysia - Day 2 of 2


Day 2 of our trip began with an early buffet breakfast at the hotel. After breakfast, the girls requested to go to the swimming pool and we allocated 20 minutes of playtime in the swimming pool as we don't want to miss the only shuttle bus to LEGOLAND at 10:15 am. We managed to board the shuttle bus which dropped us off at the Mall of Medini. 


We made our way through the Mall of Medini, where the girls were drawn to the playground. We stopped by for a while for them to play before moving on. Today's itinerary was to explore SEA LIFE Aquarium and the remainder of the LEGOLAND themed park, which we hasn't had a chance to discover previously. 

SEA LIFE AQUARIUM AT LEGOLAND MALAYSIA


Special Tricks and Treats for the Halloween Season! 


Spot the mini skeletons hiding among the marine life.


At the interactive touch pool where visitors can get up close and personal with starfish. Before participating, visitors are required to wash their hands. 
 

The girls mistakenly thought these big-belly seahorses were pregnant. 


The sand-swelling worms, popping in and out of the sand captivated the girls' attention. 


Enya watching the moon jelly.


We spent a leisurely hour exploring the whole aquarium which is a fantastic addition to the Legoland theme park visit. 


The girls look super cute for the photoshoot so I bought the package for them to develop out the photos as souvenirs as well as to get all the digital prints at RM130.

LIVE SHOW AT LEGOLAND MALAYSIA


We arrived back at LEGOLAND just in time to catch the live show, 'Frankenstein, I'm Alive!'


Went on a few rides that we didn't play and even found two whole area that we haven't explored. 


The ride with the longest queue and waiting time. 


More Halloween Treats. 


One for the memory. 


I didn't take photos of our lunch at Market Restaurant and snack break at Pizza Mania, but here's a photo of our dinner. Hubby came to fetch us back and brought us to this place where they served really nice wantan noodles, best grilled chicken leg and lok lok, but parking was a challenge. It took him a while to find a parking spot. We returned to Singapore via the Woodlands checkpoint, where we encountered a massive jam. For this trip, I exchanged about S$150 at an exchange rate of 3.232.

[TRAVEL] Halloween Brick-Or-Treat at LEGOLAND®, Malaysia - Day 1 of 2


I've always considered visiting Legoland, Malaysia, as my girl has never been there before and it's one of the nearest attractions we can get to in Malaysia. So when Pink invited me to join her and Enya on a trip there for Halloween, I agreed without hesitation. Initially, the concern was about the transportation as it was on the news that all foreign-registered vehicles entering Malaysia must have a valid VEP by 1st October or be issued a penalty and our trip was from 3 to 4 October. Nearer to the date, it was updated that it will just be a warning letter so Hubby was able to send us in and back even though we couldn't get the VEP on time. 


Tasixi Hong Kong Dim Sum Restaurant
大四喜香港点心楼

Hubby drove us in via the Tuas second link and brought us to this restaurant, where we indulged in a yummy dim sum breakfast. After placing our orders, the waiters will come by our table about 3 to 4 times, each time bringing different trays of steamed and fried sim sum, so keep your stomach for that and don't pick too much on the first round. 


Halloween-themed Booths set up at the Entrance

The festive vibes begin as soon as you step into the entrance. There are six Halloween-themed booths set up for mini fun activities, and plenty of photo opportunities. The friendly LEGOLAND staff are also nearby to help us capture our perfect family moments. 



Monster Party at the Castle

We experienced even more Halloween fun as we entered the castle. At the Scream-O-Meter, we let out our loudest screams to fill the meter and redeem prizes - magnetic badges to wear on our clothes. Next, the girls became creative at Monsters' Munchies, decorating their own spooky cupcakes. The candy trail was another highlight, with the kids enthusiastically collecting plenty of treats!


Snack break at Asian Deli where we had some sushi and small bites. This Zombie Coolers Mocktail is really nice. 


Other rides and attractions

We also explored the rest of LEGOLAND. The ride that has the longest waiting time was the World's First Lego VR Coaster. Unfortunately, the VR set could not be wore by kids. 


Halloween Buffet Dinner at Bricks Family Restaurant

We indulged in a wide spread of cuisine at Bricks Family Restaurant. A thoughtful touch was the paper tablecloths and crayons provided for kids to colour and do their puzzles. The Halloween-themed decorations and desserts impressed us with their attention to detail. The desserts were too pretty, making it hard to choose. There are also live stations offering chicken rice, peking duck, lok lok and many more. Throughout our meal, joyful Happy Birthday songs filled the air, as there were many celebrations taking place. 


A Night Stay at Hotel Ramada by Wyndham Meridin

We took a grab from Legoland Hotel to Hotel Ramada where we will be staying for a night. The hotel was clean, comfortable and spacious. It was just a short 5 minutes ride away. The hotel also provides free shuttle bus service at 10.15am to Legoland. Although, we spent the whole day from morning to night, the girls were still super active and they only get to bed by around midnight. Grateful and thankful for this short trip as we celebrated Children's Day and Halloween in advance there.
