Legoland is a typical theme park like Universal Studios, Disneyland etc.But what distinguishes Legoland between other theme parks is they are made of Legos, only the small things though. My personal review about the park is the park itself is unique and uncommon for visitors, because of the union that they pick. The entrance of the main gate is pretty welcoming, there’s a mini game or a simulation-ish stand. What I rate the most is there’s a whole Lego miniature of a building or a diorama, there’s a lego Taj mahal, a Petronas tower, a diorama of HMS Victory and a port and many more. Some of them also have an interactive sound for the miniature.For the rides and entertainment though, they are just the same as other parks. While there are some differences in some rides, they are still common and ordinary (based on what I took the ride on). Most of the rides are built for children over 5 to 12 years old, but there are rides for teens/adults. The food stood out in my opinion and the restaurant was pretty good. Overall Legoland Malaysia is best suited for kids, but it still offers an enjoyable experience for families, and is recommended to visit outside of summer due to limited shade.
The booking process was smooth and the redemption also no fuss at all. Just scan from the phone.

Had an amazing day exploring Johor Zoo! A hidden gem in the heart of Johor Bahru — perfect for families, animal lovers, or anyone looking for a fun, budget-friendly outing. The animals were lively, the environment was clean, and the staff were super friendly. Loved seeing the majestic tigers, playful monkeys, and colorful birds up close. It’s not the biggest zoo, but it definitely has heart.Great place to reconnect with nature and create memories.Highly recommend checking it out if you’re near.

Had a very wet and fun day at all the 3 parks with my family and kids!
This place is awesome. We usually spend the whole day here. We will spend playing at the theme park in the morning and go to waterpark after lunch. You have to try the rollercoster and dont forget to enjoy the show. Sometimes there also have games and prizes to win. Kids definitely will enjoy Legoland!!!! and adults too. Tips: The food inside there is pricey but you can opt for family/bundle set. Please bring raincoat.

Last year, I was visted Johor Ancient Temple, located in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. It is dedicated to five deities worshipped by different Chinese dialect groups, symbolizing unity. The temple’s red-and-white architecture stands out amid modern skyscrapers, offering a glimpse into the city’s heritage.In my opinion, its peaceful atmosphere, intricate carvings, and annual Chingay Parade. However, some find it small and crowded during festivals.Overall, it’s a must-visit for history and cultur
This Confucian temple is one of the oldest temples in Johor, close to the Indian Hindu temple, and there is a good and close relationship here.

It is conveniently located near CIQ with lots of interesting eatery. the only downside is trees are almost nonexistent there, so it can be scorching hot under the sun.
MacGregor’s Pub @Jalan Wong Ah Fook, very good vibe for happy hour.😊👍🏻✨The Fives Hotel is next to it, a great hotel too, for staycation.

If you’re looking for ultimate relaxation, Elight Beauty Club at Danga Bay is the place to be! I had an incredible spa experience that left me feeling refreshed and recharged. The soothing ambiance and top-notch service made it a perfect escape. Definitely a must-visit for anyone in Johor looking to unwind!

nice heritage style restaurant with unique Peranakan design, recommended to visit.
It's a very interesting downtown neighborhood. The crown decoration has its unique historical background and connotation. When the car drove through the neighborhood and listened to the local friends talking about it, it felt like a tourist attraction. It's pretty good.
