Legoland Malaysia Waterpark

We received an invite to Legoland Malaysia's new water park last week and I was all excited about bringing the boys when I realised that Connor didn't have a passport yet! Doh!

After realising that Ewan's passport was on the way to expiring as well, we quickly sent the online applications to ICA and kept our fingers crossed that the passports would be ready in 10 days - and they were!

So, on Saturday, we happily packed ourselves into the car, along with Marra, my mum's helper who'd help us out with the kids.

Christian was super duper excited, having seen the Legoland ad on Okto the previous day and my parents had told him that he'd be going tomorrow.

Super psyched

The drive was pretty smooth and easy all the way to the checkpoint at Malaysia where there was a bit of a jam. But once we got past that, it was really easy to get there. Took us about an hour in all.

The walk from the car park is a little long, especially if you have kids. But we later discovered that there's a drop off point for passengers too, cutting the walking distance.

We also spotted the "dry" Legoland area, which we'd been meaning to check out some time soon, and the almost-ready Legoland Hotel. Would be a blast to get a room and check out both Legoland sites!

The first thing we did when we got there was to have lunch! It was really tempting to just get going straight into the water but the kids had to eat and it was already half past noon. We had chicken and cheese sandwiches at the Brick Bay Cafe - RM25 for a huge Focaccia sandwich, fries and a drink.

There, we ran into my colleague Jass and her family. They'd gotten a cabana and invited us to share - perfect! I forgot to take pics but the cabanas cost RM150 for a day's use, and comes with deck chairs, a safe, and cooler to keep your drinks chilled. It was a great idea and alternative to just renting lockers. There were even Cabana hosts who would take your orders for food and drinks and have them sent directly to the Cabanas, saving you time and effort queuing for food.

Right in front of the Cabanas is the Wave pool. This was perfect for the bubs, because it was shallow - even Connor could sit comfortably in the water.

For the little Kiddos, the Duplo Splash Safari was perfect.

Riding the croc

There were Duplo characters that had steering wheels, water spouts, etc, and Christian absolutely loved it.

He also majorly hogged the mini-slides - which meant Ewan had to do them with him some 20 times.

Wheee!

One of the slower slides, but he loved it anyway

Even Connor had a go!

There was a build-a-raft river, which was pretty much a lazy river kind of ride with a twist: There were these floating foam bricks that riders could collect along the way and attach it to their tubes.

Till this happened

Connor was having fun sitting on my lap, till we went through a water shower - My bad, I didn't even know there was one on the ride! It gave him quite the shock, and he struggled quite a bit, so I had to take him off the tube to calm him down, haha.

So, we completed the river like this, much to his delight.

Happy again

Proud to have completed the river, sans tube

Daddy and Christian, meanwhile, had a blast, collecting as many bricks as they could.

The larger rides looked awesome as well, but well, we've got little kids and there was more than enough to keep them occupied.

 We also loved the Lego models, scattered around the park, which just added to the atmosphere.

We ended the day at the shop, which didn't have much, but we did pick up a few minifig magnets for RM6 ($2+)... what a deal!

The ones Christian decided were "his"

And the others

We were lucky to have left slightly earlier, at 3pm+, as the kiddos needed their naps - and thankfully we did, as it started storming shortly after. We kids were so konked out their slept all the way back to Singapore.

 Looking forward to our next visit there - probably at the main Legoland!
