How To Go To LEGOLAND Malaysia From Singapore
If you’re looking for the ultimate guide for how to travel from Singapore to Legoland Malaysia, you’ve found it.
Nowadays, traveling to Malaysia to Singapore is a breeze, with plenty of options to choose from. But how do you know which choice is the right choice?
In this post, I’ll list down all the transport options that will take you from Singapore to Legoland.
From the super convenient option to the less recommended alternatives, I’ll guide you through each of them and share with you our thoughts, tips, and tricks.
1. Singapore to Malaysia Cross Border
Before I dive into the possible transport options from Singapore to Legoland theme park, let’s break down some basic info about the SG-JB checkpoints.
1.1 Location
Legoland Theme Park is located near the border of Malaysia, in a city called Iskandar Puteri.
Singapore Tuas Checkpoint to Legoland Malaysia
99% of Legoland Malaysia visitors from Singapore will cross the border at Tuas Second Link, not Woodlands Checkpoint. This is because it is nearer.
1.2 Timing
Tourists who are not familiar with the situation at the Malaysia-Singapore border should be aware that the traffic can be horrendous!
Always plan your travels in advance, especially avoiding a long weekend or public holiday.
Large crowds will cause painstaking traffic jams and congestion at the checkpoints for customs clearance.

I bet you wouldn’t want to exhaust yourself before you even arrive at your holiday destination.
It’s imperative that you choose the correct checkpoint to get to Legoland. You can choose a cheaper alternative route, but know that it might take longer.
1.3 Transport Options
There are 2 ways going from Singapore to Legoland Malaysia that I recommend.
First: A private car taxi from your doorstep in Singapore direct to Legoland Malaysia is hands down the best option. In fact, most travelers from Singapore prefer this.

Second: A travel coach/direct bus from Singapore to Legoland Malaysia.
Want to know more? Read on and we’ll elaborate.
Reminder:
- It is a requirement for Non-Malaysians to fill up the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) before entering Malaysia.
- Luckily for Singaporeans, you are exempted from this!
- For more information, check out Malaysia’s immigration website.
2. Private Car Taxi: Best Way to Legoland Malaysia
I can’t stress this enough: people waste so much time and energy in long queues at the Singapore-Malaysia checkpoints.
To save yourself the hassle, why not take a private car transfer directly from Singapore to Legoland Theme Park instead?

Why Choose SGMYTAXI Private Car:
- Affordable price rates (worth it when traveling with family or group)
- Door-to-door private car to LEGOLAND Malaysia from Singapore in 45 – 60 minutes (depending on traffic conditions)
- Direct booking via WhatsApp
- No need to disembark from vehicle for Singaporean and Malaysian checkpoints/immigration clearance
- Freedom to choose your desired pick-up date, time, & location in Singapore and drop-off at Legoland Malaysia, and vice versa
- Well-maintained vehicles & ample space for luggage
- Positive feedback from customers
- Private car service from Sentosa to Legoland Malaysia also provided

Personally, I think the private car taxi is a no-brainer.
It’s much more convenient than a bus/coach, which requires you and your family to disembark the bus with luggage in tow at the checkpoints.
A private car taxi is affordable too. At only SGD 100, a luxurious MPV car will pick you up at your doorstep and drive you straight to Legoland.
It’s no wonder why nearly 90% of families will use a private car taxi to go from Singapore to Legoland Malaysia.
Tip: If you arrive before check-in time, don’t worry. There is an awesome and free Lego Brick in the lobby, which the kids will go nuts for.

3. By Local Bus Via Tuas Second Link (Worst Option)
Taking the public bus from Singapore to Legoland Malaysia is really time-consuming.
Even if the bus departs early, it’s still unlikely that you’ll reach Legoland Malaysia before noon.
By the time you arrive at your destination, you and your family would be exhausted because of all that congestion at the checkpoints.

In reality, you’ll hardly see visitors from Singapore taking the bus to Legoland.
Still conflicted? Let’s lay down the pros and cons.
Why Choose Public Bus:
- No pre-booking necessary
- The CW bus (bright yellow Causeway buses) leave from 3 different stations in Singapore
- Super affordable, just a few SGD per person
Why Not To Choose Public Bus:
- Potentially confusing transfers—you have to make sure it’s the correct bus number before getting on
- Really long waiting times
- Sharing rides with other strangers / lack of privacy
- During peak hour, the bus is packed and you’ll be squeezed in like a sardine can
- Need to hold onto the bus ticket to get on another bus
- Sometimes people might bump into you if they are late or in a hurry
- Unpleasant sitting next to strangers that may be loud or reek of a pungent smell
- You will have to alight the bus with all your belongings at both the Singaporean and Malaysian customs checkpoints
- During peak season, you might get stuck queueing at immigration for about 4-5 hours
Public Bus Ticket Price:
SGD 6 per person each way.
Recommended For:
Solo trip or couple trip, on a budget.
4. By Travel Coach (Direct)
Besides the public bus, you can catch a direct coach from Singapore to Legoland Malaysia.
WTS Singapore to Legoland Coach Operator
Why Choose A Coach:
- Shorter travel time compared to a public bus
- You board at a designated stop in Singapore and are dropped off at Legoland Malaysia. It is a direct bus
Why Not To Choose A Coach:
- More expensive compared to public buses
- The designated departure might be inconvenient
- Only 1 trip per day
- Need to disembark the coach and go through customs in both Singapore and Malaysia
- Also, need to bring your luggage with you to go through Singapore-Malaysia customs
- Required to follow bus schedules, which is mostly early in the morning
- Again, you’ll be sharing rides and seats with strangers
Coach Ticket Price:
SGD 26 – SGD 30 per person (round-trip)
Recommended For:
- Young adults without kids or elderly people
- Less than 3 people in a group

Reminder:
- When traveling in any commercial vehicle (i.e. a vehicle that can seat 9 or more people), you are required to disembark the bus twice at both Singapore and Malaysia customs to get your passport stamped.
- This process often involves long queues.
Just look at the checkpoint congestion during the holidays!
Singapore to JB Congestion
This is why if there’s more than 3 people, I think it’s highly recommended that you hire a private car taxi from Singapore to Legoland Theme Park.
It might cost more, but you are paying for comfort and a hassle-free travel experience in a luxury MPV/private car.
5. Self Driving
Driving From Jb to Singapore or Vice Versa
Self-driving is another way you can get to Legoland Malaysia from Singapore. And yes—it also has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Why Choose Self-Driving:
- Similar to the private taxi, you can clear immigration without having to get off the vehicle
- You can drive at your own pace and detour if required
Why Not To Choose Self Driving:
- You might get stuck in traffic during peak hours
- You are behind the wheel, so you need to be alert always. In a private taxi, you can just sit back, relax, and even doze off
- Need to pay and fill up your car with petrol
- Required to bear the cost of toll fees and VEP
- Need to pay for your own parking at Legoland Malaysia
- Need to navigate your own way to Legoland Malaysia
- Self-driving can be tiring when crossing the border
Recommended:
- If you have your own car
Not Recommended:
- If you’re renting a car from Singapore (it should be very costly)
Tips, Tricks, and Feedback:
- Once you’ve reached Malaysia via 2nd Link, use Waze or Google Maps to guide your way to Legoland.
- The traffic varies from time to time but it is best suggested to go early in the morning to fully enjoy the theme park.
- Parking space at Legoland Malaysia is plenty, so you needn’t worry about parking availability.

6. Local Taxi
SIngapore to Johor Taxi At Ban San Street Terminal
You can get a local taxi located at the Bugis Bus Terminal (Queen Street).
Why Choose Singapore-Johor Taxi:
- If you are on budget and can’t hire a MPV private car taxi
Why Not To Choose Singapore-Johor Taxi:
- You will have to go to the taxi stand on Ban San Street—they won’t pick you up from your house or your preferred location
- A taxi is only able to accommodate up to 4 people
- Rather expensive if travelling alone, best to share ride
- If sharing ride, you’ll end up sharing with strangers again
- Some taxis don’t travel all the way to Legoland Malaysia, so you will need to change taxis in Malaysia, which will cost more money and time

Singapore – Johor Taxi Price:
SGD 15 per person / SGD 60 per vehicle

Recommended For:
Families / groups with only 2-3 people.
Please be aware that there only 2 types of Singapore-Johor taxis:
Option 1:
- Only specially licensed Singapore taxis are allowed to cross the border and go to Larkin Bus Terminal in Johor Bahru
- From there you can hop into a Malaysian taxi to bring you to Legoland Malaysia
Option 2:
- Malaysian yellow taxis are permitted to take passengers from Ban San St. Taxi Kiosk on Queen St. (5-minute walk from Bugis MRT Station)
- It brings you straight to Legoland Malaysia without any need of transfer
But here’s the catch:
Upon returning from Legoland Malaysia, you will find that there are no taxi terminals or stands nearby Legoland. It can only be found at Larkin Taxi terminal as below:

Tips: By slightly increasing your budget, you can hire a luxury MPV Private car for the whole family.

7. Flight: Not available
If you tried Googling flights to Senai Airport from Changi, save yourself the trouble.
There are NO flights along this route.
The other alternative is to fly from Singapore to KL, then from KL to JB. From there, you can take a taxi to Legoland Malaysia. Not very convenient!
8. Conclusion & Reminder
The best and most recommended transport from Singapore to Legoland Malaysia is SGMYTAXI private car.
You can book here: https://www.sgmytaxi.com/legoland/
The price is even more affordable than the tickets for the theme park and Legoland Resort.
As always, there are few important factors that you need to consider before choosing the right transportation to Legoland Malaysia to Singapore.
- Time/cost of getting from your house to the bus stop or pick-up point (not to mention the hassle of carrying your bags);
- Time wasted getting on and off at the Singaporean and Malaysian borders (still lugging those same bags on and off each time!);
- A lot of money going to extra taxis, extra wait time, and more; and
- Exhaustion, and wasting a half a day in traffic.
Quite frankly, we think it makes more sense to spend the money on Legoland’s Brick Shop and Themed Hotels, and time lounging by the Legoland Wave Pool instead.
