LEGOLAND MALAYSIA RESORT

In celebration of the school holidays and upcoming Hari Raya, the theme park is treating guests to an exciting line-up of activities.

Among them is the must-try Great Lego Race, the world's first Lego virtual reality rollercoaster, which sees colourful Lego mini-figures like Trendsetter, Pharaoh, Surfer Girl, Wizard and Pirate Captain come to life and race against one another on the tracks.

With the VR headset, guests will experience the action from every direction - up, down, forward, backward and all points in between - in a spectacular environment completely made of Lego bricks.

The fun continues with a truly festive celebration of Hari Raya from now to July 15.

Participate in Giant Ketupat & Pelita building activities and decorate the kampung house, as well as the Eid Mubarak Scavenger Hunt, where you solve the quest around Legoland Miniland.
