Fans of Lego, get ready for new and upcoming attractions at the first brick-themed family resort in Asia, the Legoland Malaysia Resort.
Lego is one of the most popular and best-selling toys of all time. Its producers, the Lego Group, was founded in 1932 and since then, those fun little bricks have become a household name. In 1968, the first Legoland opened in Denmark, just beside the original factory. Today, it operates eight theme parks all over the world.
This summer, Legoland Malaysia Resort has announced upcoming attractions and a discount for visitors from Hong Kong. It’s located in the new theme park zone and offers more than 70 activities, rides, and shows. Legoland Malaysia resort is the country’s first international theme park.
“Refreshing experiences for families”
“As Asia’s first Legoland theme park, our mission has always been to create refreshing experiences for families to enjoy uninterrupted fun and quality bonding time. True to our promise of continuously innovating, we have introduced new activities and attractions that have transformed Legoland Malaysia Resort into a premier family paradise and an award-winning attraction over the past five years,” said Kurt Stocks, general manager of Legoland Malaysia Resort.
Much like usual theme parks, Legoland also has its own hotel. But unlike any other in Malaysia, the hotel features Lego-themed rooms. It offers Pirate, Adventure, Kingdom and Ninjago-themed rooms – something for every kind of Lego aficionado.
New attractions

Launched in 2016, Lego Ninjago: The Ride is a 4D experience inspired by the line of Ninjago toys and TV series.
