I didn’t have much expectations going to Legoland. Price was ok compared to Disney where in you have to queue for an hour per ride. Malaysian crew were polite and courteous. Rides were unique (well because I’m so used to Disneyland) my daughters loved the horse ride in the Kingdom Zone.
The Water Park section is a tad small compared to Singapores Water Park but all in all it’s a more controlled environment for my kids which is great.
A must try if you haven’t experienced Legoland Park yet.
Food is where it needs some work. Compared to other theme parks Legoland is on the poor side on the food department.
All in all great experience for me and my daughters.

While you must respect that this is Malaysia and not Europe or Australia you generally have pricing expectations when you visit a "Premium Outlet" of "Direct Factory Outlet"; some stores here are ridiculously expensive and I honestly doubt that they are at all viable for the local market.
The choice of brands are fantastic - we saw European products that we did not know existed - you are literally spoilt for choice.
The location is pretty remote; we took a taxi over and then rang them to collect us to take us back to JB. This worked out really well.
The architecture and the layout of the whole establishment was first class; we were impressed with the size and variety of retailers; although many were anything but "Outlet Sores" as their pricing was absolutely ridiculous by any standards!
The food court was definitely set up for local cuisine and once you realised that it worked on a card system it was fine; we enjoyed the local fare which was very moderately priced for the quality of the food.
There are also some decent cafe's dotted around the area and it was easy to find refreshment and public toilets.
While I personally am not a huge fan of "Outlet" precincts this one is one of the best we have visited and my wife managed to locate exactly what she was looking for; so it was a great day out for us.

Reviewed By Jacky84 - Singapore, Singapore
This escape room is located at level 4 of Sutera mall, we went in a group of 6 and the staff patiently explain to us each of the escape room and gave his recommendation. The escape room puzzle is similar to Singapore, thus i recommend that they must update their themes every half year though. The ticket per person cost $38.20 rm during weekend and public holiday. We chose prison break and before we went in, we must kept our things in the locker provided. We are being handcuffed and blindfolded and them bring into a dark room. The time to solve the puzzle is 45mins, the puzzle is good to keep us occupy but in the end we didn't really escape and stuck at the last puzzle, we have a really fun time together. After that we can have a photo session at the entrance before we left and props are being provided for us and they will help us to take photograph. Highly recommended to play.

Commissioned in 1900 by Sultan Abu Bakar--a much respected monarch widely referred to as the 'Father of Modern Johor'-- this grand mosque can accommodate 2,000 worshippers.
Reviewed By Grant T - Melbourne, Australia
There is no doubt that this is an impressive structure and well worth a visit but be aware that it is in all true sense of the word - under renovation and, according to our guide, has been for some time so don't expect to be able to go inside and view it. Its all peeled paint and cracked masonry from the outside. I would say you would need to spend no longer that 10 minutes given its 'at work' status.

It was a public recreation park with free park. Green environment with trees and flowers. What you can do here?
1. Jogging in the park. It takes about 15mins to make a circle at typical jogging speed. You can use the exercise facilities around the park area too.
2. Huge space for kite flying. This might be a good sport if you bring friends or kids in windy days. Prepared a kite in your car just in case you are in the mood of flying kite. There are a few stall selling kites on spot too.
3. Kid playing ground. If you are bring children below 7years old, this is the place to drain your kid energy. The facilities are in good shapes. Usually crowded with children in the evening ard 6.30 pm. The park close by 7pm.
4. Gated RC car circuit. For those RC car owners who want their toy to have a round in the circuit can make a request at the security (main gate entrance).
5. Roof-topped pondok/rest area. You can have your quiet time there. Since the park is surrounded with trees, expect mosquitoes in those pondok. Bring your own mosquitoes repellent if you plan to stop by these pondok.
6. Hungry after a walk, there will be some mobile food stall at entrance area. Usually only available 5-7pm. Snack and drinks.
7. Cycling. You can bring your own or rent a bicycle there. But not all the rental bicycle were found in good condition, so choose wisely at the rental station. Safety gears like helmet and ankle protector were not provided.

Strategically located in the heart of the city and only a stone's throw from the customs and immigration checkpoint, Johor Bahru City Square stands out as a central landmark in JB. With its more than 200 retailers, it offers a host of fashion, entertainment and restaurants. All catered to wow the senses and satisfy the needs. Rush in when the doors open at 10am for breakfast, then head out and start your shopping adventure of clothes, shoes, bags, trinklets, toiletries, electronic toys. Everything the heart desires. Unique to Johor Bahru City Square is the Inner City, an eclectic mix of smallish fashion and accessory shops plus restaurants housed in a tight, quaint setting. Always a firm favorite of the "NOW" generation. After many hours of shopping, rest the feet in one of the numerous restaurants and cafes or indulge in a soothing foot massage, then go on to treat the rest of the body at a salon.

60 mins gone fast because it was exciting. As experenced players can tell: the game is organized well, the staff is professional, and always gave the needed help immediately. No unneccesery traps, but good combinations of tricks. At the beginning we got all the needed instructions. We've been treated during the game with special attention, so we made it!!!

It is great to have such a shopping complex with a departmental store like Metrojaya just across the Singapore causeway, conveniently located! It houses quite a number of designer labels and the more affordable brands
Popular brands like Sephora or Kiels are there along w cafes Obriens and donuts which are all well loved by Singaporeans
Many F&B outlets like recipe, with an angrybird park for the kids or family with children...
From the cheaper range items like Daiso (from jp), it also has an ok-foodcourt, this complex is very spacious and comfortable
My only wish is for Metrojaya to improve - while it houses a dept for living and décor, it should provide more choices of cutlery like chopsticks and place mats etc , other than that it has some unique brands like Bb vinition which are not too bad , in terms of towels and festive décor, eg christmasy ones, you are definitely spoilt in this dept store
