The track will give ride-goers a bird’s eye view of the impressive LEGOLAND landscape and the breathtaking views of Iskandar Malaysia. The LEGOLAND experience underscores the need for entertainment and education. Having fun while playing and exercising a child’s imagination and creativity is a critical component to healthy development.  In this highly digitised age, children are losing touch with the importance of experiential play, through sight, sound, smell and touch. LEGOLAND Malaysia seeks to bring back the focus of learning through play. It creats the perfect environment for families to bond together and this is a place where children are the centre of attention.

 

In view of the volume of enquiries that LEGOLAND Malaysia has received over the last few months, the theme park will be launching early annual passes sales this month. The pre-opening annual passes will be sold at a special discounted price, with a validity that will take pass holders right into the entire year of 2013. These special prices are offered for a very limited period only. Further ticketing details will be available on the LEGOLAND Malaysia website at www.LEGOLAND.com.my.
