Are you a parent looking for a fun way to spend the upcoming March school holidays? Look no further than these three amazing destinations in Malaysia! Located a short distance away from Singapore - Legoland, Desaru, and Tioman Island are all fantastic options for families looking to spend some quality time together, make unforgettable memories, and have a blast. Here's why:
First up is Legoland, located in Johor, Malaysia, just a short one hour drive across the causeway from Singapore. As the name suggests, Legoland is a theme park dedicated to the beloved building toy, LEGO. Kids (and adults!) of all ages will love exploring the park's many attractions, from rides and shows to interactive exhibits and, of course, plenty of opportunities to unleash their creativity and build with LEGO bricks. Some must-see attractions include the Lego City Driving School, the Dragon rollercoaster, and the MINILAND exhibit, which showcases miniature replicas of famous landmarks from around Asia.
There is also a water park located within Legoland Malaysia, being part of a larger Legoland Malaysia Resort, which includes the Legoland Theme Park, Legoland Hotel and the Legoland Water Park.
The water park features more than 20 water slides and attractions, including a wave pool, a lazy river, and several interactive play areas for kids. Some of the park’s most popular rides include the Twin Chasers, which is a pair of twisting water slides that allow riders to race each other to the bottom, and the Build-A-Raft River, which allows visitors to construct their own LEGO-themed rafts and float down a gentle river.
But Legoland isn't just about fun and games - it also offers plenty of opportunities for learning and creativity. Kids can learn about different careers at the Lego City Airport or fire station, experiment with different designs and build techniques, and even participate in a Lego building competition.

Next up is Desaru, a beautiful beach destination located just a short drive across the causeway from Singapore. With miles of sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush tropical landscape, Desaru is the perfect place to unwind and relax as a family. Whether you want to swim, sunbathe, or try your hand at water sports like snorkeling or kayaking, there's something in Desaru for everyone here.
But Desaru is more than just a beach - it's also home to a variety of other attractions, like the Desaru Fruit Farm, where you can take a tour and learn about the different tropical fruits grown in the area. You can also visit the Ostrich Farm, where you can get an up-close and personal look at these intriguing birds and, for the more adventurous, even try riding them!
For a taste of local culture, check out the Desaru Coast Riverside, a bustling night market filled with food, entertainment, and shopping. Read more about Desaru here!
Last but not least is Tioman Island or Pulau Tioman, a stunning tropical paradise located off the east coast of Malaysia. With its crystal-clear waters, colorful coral reefs, and lush rainforest, Pulau Tioman is a dream destination for nature lovers. Snorkeling and scuba diving are the main attractions here, but there's plenty more to explore, from hiking through the jungle to visiting local villages and enjoying fresh seafood.
Tioman Island is also a great place to disconnect from the stresses of everyday life and spend some quality time with your family. There are no cars on the island, so you'll have to explore on foot or by boat, and there are no chain restaurants or shops, so you can truly experience the local way of life.
To get to Pulau Tioman from Singapore, you can get to Mersing Jetty, before taking a ferry from Mersing Jetty to Pulau Tioman.
So there you have it - three amazing destinations that are perfect for families looking to travel during the March school holidays. Whether you choose Legoland, Desaru, or Tioman Island, you're sure to make unforgettable memories and have a blast with your loved ones. So what are you waiting for? Start planning your trip today!
