How to go to Legoland from Singapore
If you’re thinking of going to Legoland while in Singapore (SG), you have to thank heaven for the little mercies as there are several transportation options you can choose from.
Legoland is one of the most accessible theme parks in the world, as it is located near Lion City. In fact, getting there is not as difficult as one might imagine. That is why millions of tourists come to Legoland as it is only 45 kilometers from Garden City (another name for SG). What is even more amazing is the fact that the theme park has seven more interesting theme parks within it. Apart from that, the place is also full of restaurants, souvenir shops and mini-stores which can really attract kids and adults alike to make Legoland a part of the itinerary when visiting Singapore.
how to get there
Thanks to technology and foresight, going to Legoland is as easy as ABC. You can choose a method that suits your individual or family needs, budget, and other preferences. These are the transportation options:
Bus
If traveling long distances and spending more time on the road doesn’t bother you or your family, this is a good way to travel as you don’t need to book in advance. You can present your group at the public bus terminals going to Johor Bahru. Just follow Jurong East and Boon Lay towards Tuas Checkpoint, then get off when the bus stops at CIQ Interlink.
You can travel by bus from 7:00 am to 11:45 pm, Monday through Sunday. From this point, you board another bus. Legoland will be the first stop on that trip. There are 8 CIQ Interlink bus trips departing from 9:00 in the morning every hour and 30 minutes after. The SI1 bus and the JP02 bus only have four trips in a day starting at 8:30 am and then every 3 hours thereafter.
The price of bus tickets varies from SGD20 to SGD56 per person.
Cab
If you want to travel faster than by bus, this is one of the best options. You can hire an accredited taxi from Singapore and request to be dropped off at Johor Bahru Sentral. Take another taxi from this point to get directly to Legoland. With this method, you don’t have to travel for at least two hours. You can even bring the elderly or people with comfort issues.
Although it is more expensive and you have to book in advance. Optionally, you can also make use of a Legoland ticket reservation to facilitate convenient entry when you arrive at a customs office in Malaysia or Singapore. Remember, only accredited taxis are allowed within the Malaysia area and regular taxis are limited to the Singapore side exit. So to make it more convenient, you can make arrangements with your SG taxi to coordinate a Malaysian taxi to pick you up at the border.
Private transport
When we say private, it is through a personal car or by renting a private vehicle service. The best thing about this option is that you will be picked up anywhere in Singapore and dropped directly at Legoland in Malaysia. Another amazing feature of this method is that you don’t need to get out of the car once you reach the custom checkpoints at Malaysia and Singapore stations.
If you are renting a private vehicle, it will cost you around SGD 170 to SGD 320 depending on the type of vehicle you book. This is of course the ideal option if you prefer a quicker ride from SG to Legoland and have the money to burn. Plus this is also great for groups as the larger number of people you are traveling with the cheaper it becomes as you are renting the entire vehicle instead of paying per passenger.
tourist package
You can pre-book with different travel agencies and let them take care of everything, including arranging transportation services from Singapore to Legoland along with other perks like free bottled water (or even food), comfortable seats, child-friendly seats , DVD players, TV monitor or music player. Some tour packages also include insurance coverage and provide entertainment requests whenever possible.
Whether you’re traveling from Singapore to Legoland alone, with your family, or with a group, there’s always an option that best suits your needs.
