Today, we will play at Legoland for a whole day. I have already bought Legoland Ticket via their official website. There's a promotion, buy 1 and get 50% discount for the 2nd. The ticket price is RM 225/pax for adult and RM 180/pax for children (3-11yo) and Senior (> 60yo).

But I got RM 135/pax for adult, and RM 90/pax for my dad and uncle (senior). There's also a promo 20% discount for book 7-day early and there's many-many promotion in the website.

The admission price is only for Theme Park, and not included the water park ticket. We have to print the ticket that we bought online, to enter the legoland. And it only for 1x entrance, once you come out, you can't go back in.

Our hotel (Hallmark Regency Johor) also offer a discount ticket buy 1 and get 50% discount for the 2nd, and you will got free shuttle to Legoland from hotel. But you have to buy on the spot, or tell them when you booking the room. And don't forget to book the time also, because you have to compete with other traveller.

I reserve a shuttle, for RM 196 (drop and pick up). I ask them to depart at 09:00 and pick us at 16:30.

The weather is so hot, so don't forget to bring sunglasses and hat or umbrella.

Actually, this theme park suitable for children, so many children in there. You can't bring food from outside, but there's so many food stall in there. Just avoid to eat when it's time to eat, or you have to queue.

Don't forget to take the brochure.

Starwars Lego:

 

Worlds Miniature Lego:

There's a playgame, one of them is if you wants to become fireman. You will ride the fireman car with your family, and try to put down the fire.

Airport:

At 16:00 we are already walk out the theme park and go to the mall to wait our car. The car came at 16:30, and we ask them to drop us at JB Central.

JB Central is a mall, and also bus station and train station to Singapore and some other city in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, etc). The immigration office is also located in here. The place is so big, always read the sign when you come here and don't get lost.

After walk around the mall, we decided to go back using taxi. The taxi in here, always prefer to bargain than using metres.

Because we are 8 people, we decided to use 2 taxi. The first taxi gives us RM 10, but the 2nd give us RM 15. I don't know why this could be different.

It only took about 15 minutes to go back to hotel from JB Central.

Today is the last day for some of us because they have to go back to Indonesia tomorrow. I still have 1 day more.

Genting Highland & i-City Shah Alam, the city of Digital Light :: Family Trip to Kuala Lumpur - Johor > Malaysia -- Day 3, 7th July 2016

Today, is our last day at Kuala Lumpur. At 9 o'clock, our rental car is coming to pick us, and drop us at i-City Shah Alam. We will stay at Best Western i-City, the only hotel that located inside i-City Shah Alam.

If you didn't rent a car, here's how to go there.

Actually, it's better if we are not too early to go there, because check-in time is 14:00, and the area still closing. It will open at 12:00 noon.

So, after we arrive at i-City, I try to ask about rent car to Berjaya Hills via hotel. And the receptionist give me MYR 750 for 6 hours.

Because we don't have much choice, beside we still can't enter the room, so we accept the offer. And, it turns out that our car is luxury one, Alphard. (need driver phone number, comment below).

The driver sugges if we go to Genting Highland than Berjaya Hills. And we aggreed. And it take almost 2 hours to go there because of trafic. On the way there, the driver take us to Chocolate Galery. And we buy some.

Arrive at Genting at 12:00, and because it's holiday, it's too many people in Genting. Even when we want to eat lunch, we have to queue almost 1 hours. The food court is so small.

The outdoor theme park has been renovating, so we only play inside. If you want to ride cable car, you can but it's foggy outside.

Maybe, I will come here again when the outdoor theme park has re-opened and stay here.

Then at 15:00, we go back to i-City Shah Alam.

We bought KFC and there's so many people, so we decided to take away. Then we rest for a while.

At 19:30, we go outside, and our first destination is Snowalk.

In i-City Shah Alam, it's free to enter the theme park. But when you want to enter the game, you have to pay. And it is using i-city card.

If you still don't have the card, you can purchase it in locket. The locket is everywhere, near the game. The card cost MYR 10 (MYR 2 for the card, and has balance MYR 8).

The price to enter the game is different. I forgot the other game, but snowalk cost MYR 20 for adult (there's special price for senior (more than 60) and child).

So I top up MYR 240.

When you enter the Snowalk, they will deduct the balance in the card. And then you can borrow winter jacket for free.

It's beautiful, and I hear that It's the largest snow theme park in Malaysia. Inside, there's so many ice sclupture with different lighting, just like if you go to Ha'er Bin, China. It's minus 5 degree inside, so if you want, you can bring your muffler or other warm clothes.

After we walk around, then we decided to end the journey to snowalk. Then we walk around outside. We wants to enter City of Digital Light, but it's so crowded, and a little expensive (MYR 35/pax). I thought it's only MYR 10/pax. So we just walk around.

Then we take a rest...

Kuala Lumpur City Tour :: Family Trip to Kuala Lumpur - Johor > Malaysia -- Day 2, 6th July 2016

Good Morning. It's an simple trip, so we woke up at 7.00. Then we go to Hotel's side to eat breakfast. I didn't booked room with breakfast because the breakfast at hotel cost MYR 23/person.

From Imbi Station, we have to go to KL Sentral first, then change line to Batu Cave.

There's no connection between Monorail Line (Imbi Station) to Batu Cave (KTM Komuter Sentul-Port Klang). So we have to walk and looking for the right entrance. 

The KTM Komuter machine is due contruction, so we enter by manual. There's people who guard there, and ask for the ticket. You can buy the ticket at locket.

From Imbi Station to KL Sentral cost MYR 3,1/person

From KL Sentral to Batu Cave cost MYR 2,6/person

There's only 1 exit at Batu Cave, and it goes directly to Batu Cave area.

Before explore more place, we go to Central Market first to eat lunch. Exit the station, just turn right, and go straight. You will pass a square. And it's really crowded, a lot of people here, I think there's something going on in here, like performance or any events. 

It took about 10 minutes to walk to Central Market / Pasar Seni. The food court is at 2nd floor. There's a lot of various stand than the food court inside Dataran Merdeka.

Then after take some photos, we go back to Masjid Jamek Station. We will go back to Hotel first, to pick up my other brother and his family. So, we buy metro ticket to Imbi Station, because it's connecting. 

We go to Masjid Jamek Station with Line Yellow (Ampang Line), because we will go to Hang Tuah Station. From Hang Tuah Station, we transfer to Monorail line Green, to Titiwangsa direction and stop by Imbi Station.

From Masjid Jamek Station to Imbi Station : MYR 1,7/person.

After pick up my brother and his family, our next destination is Aquaria KLCC. I plan to walk along the skybridge that connect between Bukit Bintang and KLCC. The sky bridge located in the back side of Pavilion Mall. Enter the Pavilion Mall, then turn left, just walk along until there's a side door on the left, which there's so many restaurant outside. Go outside, and turn right, just walk along, and you will find the skybridge.

It's really convenient. We won't feel hot because there's AC in there. And the end of skybridge just right in front of KLCC Convenient Centre which Aquaria KLCC located. Enter the building right next the escalator, and go down 1 level.

I have predicted wrong, and it's holiday at Kuala Lumpur. So the queue to entering Aquaria KLCC, is very very long. I need almost 30 minutes to queue to get the ticket. And it's not a pleasurable things. My mood has gone because too crowded.

The entrance ticket to Aquaria KLCC is a little expensive (I think). Adult ticket is MYR 64/person, and Child / Senior (above 60 years old) is MYR 43/person. (increase from last year)

You only hold this ticket for less than 5 minutes. Once you enter the area, they will took it. So I manage to took picture of the ticket.

From Aquaria KLCC, we go to Suria KLCC Mall to eat dinner. Just walk along the path when you  come out from Aquaria KLCC (food court), then up 1 floor. You will arrive at KLCC Park. And walk along the park to Suria KLCC Mall, and Petronas Twin Tower. 

Once again, my mood is gone, because the park and the food court is too crowded. It's holiday, so many people come here. And KLCC is become one place that they happen to visit. It's hard to looking for the table at food court. And once we got the table, we still have to queue to buy the food. 

It's better if you come here when not holiday. 

It cost approximately MYR 10/person to eat at Suria KLCC Foodcourt. 

Then we go to KLCC Park to see the night. 

Even when we want to see the musical fountain show, we can't see anything. Everywhere is people. And the song is not too clear. 

Then we go back using skybridge again, because if we using subway, then we have to go around. And it took about 40 minutes to go by subway, and only 10-15 minutes walk.
