This trip was initiated by William during the December holidays
We took a WTS coach there. He was told that there was no need to book the seats in advance and we could just buy the tickets at the Singapore Flyer branch.
Big mistake. We reached there at 9.30am. 10.30am coach was already full so we ended up waiting for the 11.30am coach. And the impunctuality of the coach was appalling. It only set off at 12pm.
He paid for tickets for 3 adults and 1 kid.
On our second trip a week later, I helped him save on a child's ticket. And if he had listened to me, he would have saved on yet another ticket.
By the time we reached Legoland, it was 1.30pm.
Famished, we ate at Burger King at Medini Mall.
The Mall is just opposite Legoland.
Toilets are without the flush buttons, and at least 3 out of 5 or 6 taps are not working.
Verdict: Do not go to the toilets here.
We met my cousin there! They were leaving as we were entering!
The tickets
The toilets at Legoland are in a much better condition than the ones in Medini Mall.
More cubicles and the flush works!
It's Christmas!
Loads of lego sculptures everywhere.
Childish me tried to pluck off the lego bricks off the display and Coco came to me,"They'd glued them together."
We were enthralled by the Mini Land's mini architecture.
Baby looking at the height restriction at 'Dragon Apprentice', the kiddy roller-coster.
Lego stations are set up at some waiting lines to relieve the children of boredom while the adults wait for the rides!
The kiddy roller-coaster which left my feet feeling 'buzzed' for minutes after the ride!
For someone who enjoyed Battlestar Galactica, even Coco thought it was pretty scary!
A horse-ride for the little one
The consequence of being kiasu in a foreign land -
Coco ended up taking a horse-ride after trying to line up for Baby's second ride

| The bumpy train that goes round and round. Safe and secure. I like! |
Legoland is truly made for tods!
Even for a ride like this, the parent sitting next to his tod has to pull the rope to get themselves up and let go to come down smoothly but slowly.
Only in Malaysia - a 'Prayer Room' sign at a themepark!

Game stalls The 'almost-vertical' boat-ride! |
Look at their expression!
All wet!
Seems that Mummy theme is welcomed everywhere!
Indoor playground. Coco was chased out of it because she was too big a kid!

| When it rains, it pours So we queue up at the Mummy's for a sheltered ride. |

| Quite impressed with a legoed pharoah head. Very intricate! |
Shoot-out at the Mummy's.
"Shoot at the green light!"
After the last ride, we went to the Legoland Shop for a little shopping trip.
Santa Claus
Harry Potter themed keychains
Star War theme
How can they do without a play station for the little children while the adults shop?

Food was good and cheap. RM 80-something. About S$30 plus.
What else do you have but a tired tod at the end of the day?
Overall, Legoland is really quite fun for a family with toddlers and risk-averse adults like me! I find Universal Studio too teenage and grown-up - more for adventurous youths who live for the moment. It's only here in Legoland that I get to take some rides with the tod on the pretext of accompanying her for safety.
The talks about Legoland not ready, not fully operative or not safe for toddlers are not true at all. All of us enjoyed it thoroughly. It was a shame that we only entered the theme park at 2.45 pm. We didn't have enough time to enjoy the park fully, but because it was so enjoyable, we went back to Legoland exactly a week later.
The park was huge! I had thought that Legoland was tiny and could cover it within half a day, as seem-to-be-recommended by some bloggers and forummers. But it was really huge and most rides are doable, so you would not have sufficient time to play through the park if you plan for a half-day there. Like Universal Studio, Legoland is divided into different sections and there are various rides and activities at the different segments.
It's really fun! Highly recommended for tods!
