As the only Legoland Resort in Southeast Asia, Johor’s Legoland Malaysia boasts three parks, and has become a popular destination for families both in Malaysia and abroad, particularly from neighbouring Singapore.
While a trip to Legoland Malaysia promises unforgettable moments for the whole family, it can also be costly. Here are some tips to help you save money on your next visit to Legoland Malaysia.
#1 Get Annual Passes At The Same Price As Day Tickets
There are two types of entrance tickets, the day tickets and annual passes. The day tickets allow visitors to access the park for one day with single-entry access while the annual passes let visitors enjoy unlimited access to the park for 12 months.
Residents in Malaysia and Singapore get to buy annual passes at the same price as day tickets.
For example, if you’re Malaysian, an adult triple-park annual pass or day ticket cost the same at RM339. Meanwhile, Singaporeans can buy an adult triple-park day ticket or annual pass for the same price at RM399.
Visitors from other countries have to pay an additional RM100 to upgrade from an adult triple-park day ticket at RM399 to an adult triple-park annual pass that costs RM499.
So, if you are from Malaysia or Singapore, do take advantage of the same price charge for day tickets and annual passes. If you get the annual passes, you can enjoy multiple entries within the same day and free parking at Zone 1 and 2, which can save you RM10 per entry.
#2 Visit Legoland Malaysia On Your Kids’ Birthday Week
Visitors who spend their birthdays at Legoland Malaysia get to enter three parks, which are the Legoland Theme Park, Water Park and SEA Life for a day for free.
This special birthday treat is only available for children aged 11 and below and must be claimed within a 7-day range of the birth date.
The ticket will also need to be purchased at the gate on the date of entry itself. Do note that proofs of age and birth date are required.
Aside from free admission, the birthday boy or girl will also receive a RM20 voucher and a birthday button or pin badge.
#3 Kids Under The Age Of 3 Enter For Free
Many amusement parks let children under a certain age tag along for free and Legoland Malaysia is no different. Children under the age of 3 can enter the park for free.
There’s no need to worry that they might feel left out, as there are plenty of attractions and shows designed for younger children. For instance, they can ride the Legoland Express train, play at Duplo Playtown, and admire miniature versions of iconic landmarks.
#4 Check For Special Deals
Legoland Malaysia does offer special deals on entrance tickets and hotel stays, so do check out the website before making a purchase.
For example, you can get 35% off one-day tickets at selected LEGO stores.
You can also keep your eyes peeled for repeated offers during annual festivals such as Halloween. Previously, children dressed in costumes could enter the park for free.
#5 Compare & Buy Your Tickets Online
Other than buying tickets from Legoland Malaysia, you can find tickets on external online platforms such as Klook and KKday.
Sometimes, these platforms could be holding promotions and would sell tickets at prices cheaper than what’s offered on Legoland Malaysia’s website so it might make sense to do some price comparison.
#6 Convert Your Money In Advance
You can make payments in both the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) and Singapore Dollar (SGD) in Legoland Malaysia. However, the exchange rates offered for the SGD/MYR is less than ideal.
To make sure you get a favourable currency rate, it’s best to convert your SGD for MYR beforehand elsewhere. Alternatively, you can use a multicurrency card or wallet, like YouTrip, Revolut or Wise, that allows you to store and spend in different currencies.

#7 Eat And Stay Outside
You will likely spend at least one full day at Legoland Malaysia or even more, and will need to recharge with meals and snacks.
If you have an annual pass that allows multiple entries per day, you can leave the resort to dine outside, such as at the Mall of Medini, which is just outside Legoland Malaysia. The mall offers a variety of restaurants, including KFC, Burger King, The Chicken Rice Shop and Secret Recipe, as well as Ben’s Independent Grocer, which features eateries like Tex-Mex and the Grocer’s Kitchen.
If you have day tickets, you will have single-entry access, meaning you cannot re-enter the park once you leave. Legoland Malaysia has a policy that prohibits bringing outside food and drinks into the park, though exceptions are made for food or snacks for infants and those with special dietary requirements.
For accommodations, there are plenty of hotels and airbnb locations near Legoland Malaysia that offer affordable options. airbnb locations are particularly suitable for larger families, as they typically provide more space, allowing everyone to stay together comfortably.
#8 Bring Your Own Towels
If you’re visiting the Water Park or even the main park, you may want to prepare your own towels. The price for towel rentals at Legoland Malaysia is RM35 and you will need to also pay a deposit of RM30.
There are lockers scattered throughout the park where you can keep your towels and belongings, specifically at The Beginning, The Great Lego Race, Dino Island and Legoland Water Park.
#9 Swap Your Lego Minifigure For A New One
At the end of your trip, you might want to get a souvenir like a Lego Minifigure to remember the day by.
If you want to save some money, instead of purchasing Lego Minifigures at the souvenir shop, you can swap your own Lego Minifigure with ‘Model Citizens’, Legoland staff who wears Minifigures on their badge.
It is also an environmental-friendly way of getting a new Minifigure.
